The present invention relates to a novel multiparticulate pharmaceutical composition for oral administration with a controlled dissolution rate. The composition comprises Tamsulosin hydrochloride in modified release form and Solifenacin succinate in mmediate release form, wherein the core comprises Tamsulosin hydrochloride and an outer immediate layer comprises Solifenacin succinate. According to the present invention, the instant formulation release the drug at predetermined rate and prevent dose dumping as well as improving the patient compliance.

Provided are a pharmaceutical composite formulation and a method of preparing the same, the pharmaceutical composite formulation including: a first layer containing, as an active ingredient, a proton pump inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a lubricant, and a second layer containing, as an active ingredient, an antacid selected from magnesium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, and a mixture thereof.

Hydrodynamic methods for conformally coating non-uniform size cells and cell clusters for implantation, thus preventing immune rejection or inflammation or autoimmune destruction while preserving cell functionality. A method for conformally coating cells and c clusters with hydrogels that are biocompatible, mechanically and chemically stable and porous, with an appropriate pore cut-off size. The methods of the invention are advantageously reproducible and result in a relatively high yield of coated versus non-coated cell clusters, without compromising cell functionality. Conformal coating devices configured to perform the methods of the invention, methods of optimally utilizing said devices and purifying the coated islets, and coated biomaterials made by said methods.

The present invention provides a method for safe and efficacious administration of esketamine.

Embodiments of the invention provide shaped masses (SM) comprising one or more drugs such as proteins or polypeptides and methods for forming and delivering such SM's. One embodiment provides a SM comprising a drug e.g., a protein or polypeptide having a biological activity in the body of a mammal. The SM is formed by compression of a precursor material (PM) comprising the drug wherein an amount of biologically active drug in the SM is a minimum level to that in the PM. Drugs which may be incorporated into the SM include insulin, incretins and immunoglobulins e.g., interleukin neutralizing antibodies or TNF-α-inhibiting antibodies. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the oral delivery of drugs which would be degraded within the GI tract, wherein the SM containing the drug is formed as or incorporated into a tissue penetrating member which is inserted into the intestinal wall after oral ingestion.

The invention relates to a solid, pharmaceutical composition in compressed tablet form. The tablet comprises an ibuprofen core tablet, a pair of protective barriers and a famotidine outermost coating. The ibuprofen core tablet comprises ibuprofen and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from disintegrants, diluents, fillers, binders, glidants and lubricants. The pair of protective barrier coatings surround the ibuprofen core tablet. The first coating comprises a methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer, a surfactant, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The second coating comprises hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and a plasticizer. The outermost coating comprises famotidine, polyvinyl alcohol and a plasticizer.

Abuse deterrent solid dosage formulations containing 5-({[2-Amino-3-(4-carbamoyl-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-propionyl]-[1-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-ethyl]-amino}-methyl)-2-methoxy-benzoic acid, and processes for the preparation and administration of these formulations.

The disclosure provides new, stable, pharmaceutically acceptable amorphous solid dispersions of 1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-4-((6bR,10aS)-3-methyl-2,3,6b,9,10,10a-hexahydro-1H,7H-pyrido[3′,4′:4,5]pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]quinoxalin-8-yl)-butan-1-one, together with methods of making and using them, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

This disclosure relates to dosage forms comprising bupropion hydrochloride, another salt form of bupropion, or the free base form of bupropion; dextromethorphan hydrobromide, another salt form of dextromethorphan, or the free base form of dextromethorphan, and a polymer. In some embodiments, the dosage form has no significant dose dumping of bupropion in the presence of ethanol in vitro. In some embodiments, the dosage form does not have a food effect for bupropion or dextromethorphan when taken with a high-fat meal in human subjects. Some embodiments include a method of treating a nervous system condition (such as depression, e.g., major depressive disorder, including treatment-resistant depression, agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease (or agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type), agitation associated with dementia, anxiety (or generalized anxiety disorder), neuropathic pain, or peripheral diabetic neuropathic pain) comprising, administering a dosage form described herein to a human being in need thereof.

The present disclosure provides a crystalline form of the methyl/fluoro-pyridinyl-methoxy substituted pyridinone-pyridinyl compound of the structure: XRPD, TGA, and DSC data on the crystalline form, as well as methods preparing the crystalline form, including a multi-kilo scale preparation. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating p38 mediated diseases, such as lymphoma and auto-inflammatory disease, including rheumatoid arthritis. and methods of maximizing the yield thereof comprising administering of the compound. Also provided is a method of maximizing the yield of said compound via a recycling procedure.
