Provided herewith is a pharmaceutical composition comprising, separately or together, a pulsatile release component comprising levodopa and a DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor for the management of OFF-time episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease.

The present invention relates to immediate release formulations of (R)-2-amino-3-phenylpropyl carbamate and methods of using the same to treat disorders.

The present invention discloses a method of treating agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject comprising the sublingual administration of an effective amount of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The method is particularly suitable for the treatment of agitation associated with neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric diseases. The present invention also discloses the sublingual administration of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose that is effective to treat agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject, but does not cause significant sedation.

The present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical preparation of 3-Fluoro-4-[7-methoxy-3-methyl-8-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-1-yl]-benzonitrile, a method of making same, and medical uses thereof.

An orodispersible formulation for contraception or hormone replacement therapy containing an estrogen and a progestogen that has sufficient hardness, disintegration time and friability.

The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine and relates to an instant release pharmaceutical preparation of an anticoagulant and a preparation method therefor. The instant release pharmaceutical preparation of an anticoagulant comprises a vicagrel compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable form thereof, the preparation is a tablet or a capsule, the vicagrel or the pharmaceutically acceptable form thereof is provided at a suitable particle size, and the D90 thereof <50 μm. With regard to the drug-containing particles obtained by the present invention, a pharmaceutical preparation formed therefrom exhibits rapid release characteristics in an in vitro dissolution test and exhibits considerable advantages in pharmacokinetics in vivo, showing a greater degree (AUC) and rate (C.sub.max) of drug absorption. Further provided by the present invention is a method for preparing an instant release pharmaceutical preparation of an anticoagulant; according to the formulation of the drug-containing particles as disclosed by the present invention, a capsule or tablet instant release preparation having excellent stability may be obtained by means of a combination of optional preparation steps.

Extended release pyridostigmine dosage forms, suitable for maintaining stable plasma concentrations with reduced or minimized initial burst release/dose dumping of pyridostigmine, are provided. The dosage forms include matrix tablets, gastroretentive tablets, and pellets, the latter being suitable for dosing in capsules, tablets, and sachets, as well as for sprinkling on foodstuffs. The disclosure also provides methods for improving patient compliance by administering once-a-day extended release pyridostigmine bromide dosage forms that provide a superior controlled drug release.

Capsule dosage forms that provide immediate release of active ingredients and have abuse deterrent properties. In particular, the dosage forms comprise at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, a combination of hydrophilic gelling polymers, at least one organic acid, and at least one disintegrant.

Pharmaceutical formulations of novel indole compounds and psilocybin analogs are manufactured, provided in novel oral, transdermal, and nasal pharmaceutical compositions for use to treat neurological, mood or abuse diseases and disorders.

The present invention is directed to novel neuro-attenuating norketamine (NANKET) compounds according to any one of formulas (I—shown below), (I-A) and (I-B), or any of the compounds described in Tables A-D, or in any of the Examples provided herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, novel pharmaceutical formulations and novel methods of uses thereof. The present invention also features novel oral neuro-attenuating ketamine (NAKET) and neuro-attenuating norketamine (NANKET) modified-release pharmaceutical formulations, and novel methods of administration thereof, which ensure the steady release of a therapeutically effective amount of ketamine, norketamine, or derivatives thereof from the oral modified-release pharmaceutical formulations without neurologically toxic spikes in plasma concentration of the ketamine, norketamine, or derivatives during the release periods. ##STR00001##
