The present description relates to a tablet formulation of 2-[3-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridazin-6-yl]-5-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)phenol, a compound for use in treating Huntington's disease, and a method of making the same.

This invention relates a therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including an opioid; polyethylene oxide in an amount of about 3 to about 40 wt % of the composition; a disintegrant; and a surfactant; wherein the disintegrant is present in an amount sufficient to cause the pharmaceutical composition to exhibit an immediate release profile.

Controlled-release preparations of oxcarbazepine and derivatives thereof for once-a-day administration are disclosed. The inventive compositions comprise solubility- and/or release enhancing agents to provide tailored drug release profiles, preferably sigmoidal release profiles. Methods of treatment comprising the inventive compositions are also disclosed.

A particulate, modified release barrier coated drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of a drug complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin is provided. Methods of making and products containing this coated complex are described.

Pharmaceutical compositions of metabotropic glutamate 5 receptor (mGlu5) antagonists or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof are disclosed. The compositions contain the therapeutic active compound with non-ionic polymer and ionic polymer, binder and fillers in either matrix pellet, matrix tablet or coated pellets. The compositions provide a pH-independent in vitro release profile with NMT 70% in one hour, NMT 85% in 4 hour, and NLT 80% in 8 hours. The compositions are useful for the treatment of CNS disorders, such as Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Fragile X Syndrome.

The subject invention provides a novel pharmaceutical solid preparation that has superior disintegration properties and excellent solubility, leading to sufficient absorbability of active ingredients through the gastrointestinal tract. The pharmaceutical solid preparation of the present invention comprises: (a) 7-chloro-5-hydroxy-1-[2-methyl-4-(2-methylbenzoylamino)benzoyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzoazepine and/or salt thereof; (b) hydroxypropylcellulose containing a hydroxypropoxyl group in an amount of 50% or greater; and (c) at least one member selected from the group consisting of carmellose, sodium carboxy methyl starch, crospovidone, and low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose with an average particle diameter of 30 to 70 m, and a 90% cumulative particle diameter of 100 to 200 m.

An extended release oral dosage form comprising as active substance tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically active analogue thereof for a once daily immunosuppressive treatment of a patient in need thereof, preferable a kidney or liver transplant patient. The dosage form releases the active substance over an extended period of time. It also provides improved pharmacokinetic parameters due to an extended and constant in vivo release including substantial decreased peak concentrations, despite increased bioavailability, substantial extended times for maximal concentration, and higher minimal concentrations when compared with conventional immediate release dosage forms and a recent modified release tacrolimus dosage form.

An aqueous liquid suspension containing a coated drug-ion exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of an amphetamine complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin and an uncoated amphetamine-ion exchange resin complex is provided. The coated amphetamine-ion exchange resin complex is in admixture with a polymer to form a matrix. Methods of making the coated complex and the liquid suspension are described.

The present invention is directed to compositions comprising an extrudate or solid solution of a compound, or a salt thereof, of Formula I (API):

##STR00001##

wherein R.sup.a is independently H or F, in a water-soluble polymer matrix which further comprises a disintegration system allowing a tablet made therefrom to rapidly disintegrate in the environment in which the API is to be released.
