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.

Disclosed is to a new pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing sulfasalazine and/or a sulfasalazine organic salt, production processes and uses, in particular in the treatment of a disease or condition in which modulation of inflammatory cells is beneficial, a disease or condition concerning bones or joints and/or the gastro-intestinal tract.

A modified release benzonatate solid tablet or capsule is described which comprises a benzonatate adsorbate in a matrix with a sufficient amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable modified release pH-independent, substances to provide a modified release profile to the benzonatate, wherein there is substantially no benzonatate release from the tablet or capsule in the buccal cavity and no more than about 25% release of the benzonatate within 1 hour as determined in an in vitro dissolution assay.

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising calcium lactate as an active agent and a polysaccharide, polymer, lipid, or a combination thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful treating cancer. The invention also relates to foods and nutrient compositions comprising calcium lactate.

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.

A novel solid drug form of N-(2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl)-N′-((1-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)cyclopentyl)methyl)urea hydrochloride (also referred to “ATR-101”) suitable for oral dosing, and to compositions, methods and kits relating thereto. ATR-101 has particular utility in the treatment of, for example, aberrant adrenocortical cellular activity, including adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and Cushing's syndrome.

Described are immediate release oral dosage forms that contain abuse-deterrent features. In particular, the disclosed dosage forms provide deterrence of abuse by ingestion of multiple individual doses. In addition, the disclosed dosage forms provide protection from overdose in the event of accidental or intentional ingestion of multiple individual doses.

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.

A composition comprising a core material, having a taste value and a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating substantially surrounds the core material and comprises a cationic polymer and optionally an anionic polymer. The polymeric coating has a uniform thickness ranging from 2 μm to 20 μm. The composition provides release of a portion of the core material which is taste masked over a time period ranging from 0.5 minute to 2 minutes in the oral cavity and provides a modified-release of the remaining core material in a gastrointestinal tract.

Swellable oral compositions are described which, upon addition of water, form semi-solid products prior to administration. The compositions are particularly suitable for administration to subjects who may have difficulty in, or a dislike for, swallowing solid oral compositions, such as tablets and capsules.
