Problem to be Solved

Provided is a method for manufacturing a pharmaceutical preparation, which safely and simply enables uniformization of contents of a small amount of a drug.

[Solution]

The method for manufacturing the pharmaceutical preparation includes: using a liquid for dispensing, the liquid containing a drug; and a first application step of applying the drug to a surface of a tablet or a capsule by a dispensing method. In addition, a pharmaceutical preparation according to the present invention includes: a base; and a drug which is applied to a surface of the base by a dispensing method, and the base is a tablet or a capsule.

The present disclosure relates to modified release formulations of 2-methyl-2-(3-methyl-4-(4-(methylamino)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-IH-pyrazol-1-propanenitrile or solvates, tautomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of treatment with the modified release formulations.

The present subject matter provides amorphous solid dispersions of venetoclax or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said amorphous solid dispersions. The present subject matter also provides methods for the preparation of said solid dispersions and compositions. The present subject matter further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising mixture of solid dispersions.

The invention provides methods for treating a patient with a disorder, such as a GI disorder or symptoms associated with a GI or non-GI disorder, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a delayed release pharmaceutical composition comprising linaclotide.

The present disclosure relates to an oral eliglustat transmucosal delivery system. More specifically, the present disclosure is related to an oral transmucosal dosage form comprising a non-disintegrating solid mass comprising (a) a hydrophilic viscosity modifying agent selected from a natural or a synthetic gum with a molecular weight of 10,000 Daltons or greater, (b) a low molecular weight water soluble component with a molecular weight of less than 10,000 Daltons and (c) not more than 70 mg eliglustat, wherein the dosage form is 500 mg or less and provides an oral cavity residence time of at least about 5 minutes, and wherein the dosage form generates a microenvironment inside the oral cavity exhibiting a thixotropic behavior with viscosities of at least 50 poises at 1/sec shear rate and at least 10 poises at 10/sec share rate. The dosage forms of as described herein have at least 30% dose reduction as compared to commercially available eliglustat capsules. In addition, unlike the dosing prerequisite for commercially available eliglustat capsules, the oral eliglustat transmucosal dosage form described herein can be administered to patients with Gaucher disease type 1 without pre-determination of patients' CYP2D6 genotype.

A pellet contains a core, which contains one or more biologically active ingredients, and a coating layer on the core. The coating layer contains a mixture of a first polymer and a second polymer. The first polymer is a core-shell polymer, containing 50 to 90% by weight of a core, containing polymerized units of 60 to 85% by weight of ethyl acrylate and 20 to 40% by weight of methyl methacrylate; and 10 to 50% by weight of a shell, containing polymerized units of 40 to 60% by weight ethyl acrylate and 40 to 60% by weight methacrylic acid. The second polymer contains polymerized units of 40 to 60% by weight of methacrylic acid and 60 to 40% by weight of ethyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate. A Multi-Unit Pellet System (MUPS), preferably a compressed tablet, contains a multitude of the pellets.
