An abuse resistant oral pharmaceutical composition, comprising: a barrier layer, comprising a first polymer; a diffusion layer, comprising a second polymer, substantially covering the barrier layer, wherein the diffusion layer is bonded to the barrier layer and comprises a drug that is substantially homogeneously distributed within the second polymer and diffuses from the diffusion layer within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; and optionally an expansion layer comprising an expandable polymer, wherein the expansion layer is substantially covered by the barrier layer. Methods of making the same and methods of using the same are also provided.

A drug dosage form is provided in the form of a solid tablet which is greater than 50% by weight the local anesthetic agent. The local anesthetic agent may be selected from the group consisting of an aminoamide, an aminoester, and a combination thereof. The drug tablet may be in the form of a mini-tablet which is greater than 70 wt % drug, with the balance being excipient. For example, the anesethetic agent may include lidocaine, in a salt or base form, combined with binder and lubricant excipients. Implantable drug delivery devices including the tablets are also provided, e.g., one or more of the drug tablets may be contained in a biocompatible housing. The drug tablets may be substantially cylindrical with flat end faces, and the device may have from 10 to 100 drug tablets aligned in the housing with the flat end faces of adjacent tablets abutting one another.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of DPP IV inhibitors with an amino group, their preparation and their use to treat diabetes mellitus.

This invention relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration comprising dopamine agonists and peripheral acting agents useful for treatment of metabolic disorders or key elements thereof. The parenteral dosage forms exhibit long stable shelf life and distinct pharmacokinetics.

The present invention relates to premixes for the production of active compound-containing tablets which comprise polyvinyl alcohols (PVAs). The invention also relates to active compound-containing tablets which comprise a corresponding premix.

The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions comprising benzoquinoline compounds, and methods to inhibit vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) activity in a subject for the treatment of chronic hyperkinetic movement disorders.

The present invention encompasses compounds of formula (I)

Disclosed are formulations/compositions comprising a BTK inhibitor, particularly ibrutinib:

##STR00001##

as well as processes for preparing such formulations/compositions and methods of treatment of a disease or condition that comprises the use of such formulations/compositions.

The present invention is in the field of delivering an active substance to the oral cavity and relates to mucoadhesive active composition and corresponding mucoadhesive dosage form, which can deliver an active substance within the oral cavity, especially an orodispersible tablet for delivering probiotic substance. The present invention also relates to a method of producing the said composition and a method of processing the composition into a mucoadhesive dosage form, especially an orodispersible tablet. The present invention moreover relates to a system and a method for testing the mucoadhesion of a dosage form.

A method for manufacturing a preparation which contains acetaminophen at a high content, in particular, a miniaturized tablet (conventional tablets, sustained-release tablets, etc.) which have excellent elution properties, preferable hardness and high drug content uniformity, and a premix drug substance of acetaminophen which has improved manufacturability. According to the method in which acetaminophen having a preset particle size is used for manufacturing a preparation, the flowability of acetaminophen can be improved so that secondary agglomeration can be suppressed and manufacturing efficiency can be elevated. Thus, this method is highly useful for manufacturing an acetaminophen preparation having improved administrability, for example, a reduced size.
