Pharmaceutical compositions comprising nitroxoline lysinate, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises, based on the total weight of the first layer, 40%-70% of active pharmaceutical ingredient, 10%-30% of filler, 5%-12% of disintegrant, 0.5%-2% of lubricant, 0.1%-1.5% of glidant and 10%-20% of alkaline substance. The second layer comprises, based on the total weight of the second layer, 40%-70% of active pharmaceutical ingredient, 10%-30% of filler, 10%-35% of sustained-release material, 0.1%-2% of lubricant and 0.1%-2% of glidant. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is selected from one or more of nitroxoline lysinate, nitroxoline lysinate crystalline form and nitroxoline lysinate solvate. The pharmaceutical compositions can achieve the purpose of burst release at an early stage and sustained and slow release at a later stage.

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.

The present disclosure provides fixed dose combinations of Drotaverine or a salt thereof and benzodiazepines, methods of preparing fixed dose combinations, and their use in treatment.

This invention relates to dosage forms comprising pseudoephedrine or a salt thereof, for extended-release up to 24 hours, and process of making such dosage forms. This invention provides a non-osmotic extended-release dosage form comprising pseudoephedrine hydrochloride which can be administered to patients who need and/or desire a decongestant medication up to 24 hours. This invention also relates to dosage forms comprising pseudoephedrine or a salt thereof and cetirizine or levocetirizine or its salts thereof for extended-release up to 24 hours, and process of making such dosage forms.

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.

Provided herein are osmotic dosage forms containing deutetrabenazine for use in the treatment of, e.g., hyperkinetic movement disorders. When orally administered to a subject on a once-daily basis, the dosage forms provide a favorable pharmacokinetic profile for the active agent indicating treatment efficacy over an extended period of time.

In certain embodiments, the present invention is directed to a solid controlled release dosage form comprising: a core comprising a first portion of an opioid analgesic dispersed in a first matrix material; and a shell encasing the core and comprising a second portion of the opioid analgesic dispersed in a second matrix material; wherein the amount of opioid analgesic released from the dosage form is proportional within 20% to elapsed time from 8 to 24 hours, as measured by an in-vitro dissolution in a USP Apparatus 1 (basket) at 100 rpm in 900 ml simulated gastric fluid without enzymes (SGF) at 37 C.

In one embodiment a layered pharmaceutical formulation includes two or more pharmaceutical layers and an intermediate layer disposed between at least two of the two or more pharmaceutical layers, the intermediate layer configured to dissolve in vivo to thereby leave the two or more pharmaceutical layers substantially intact. In one embodiment, an active pharmaceutical ingredient in at least one of the pharmaceutical layers is selected from bupropion, zonisamide, naltrexone, topiramate, phentermine, metformin, olanzapine and fluoxetine.

Disclosed are a pharmaceutical composition, an osmotic pump controlled-release drug delivery system comprising the pharmaceutical composition and a preparation method therefor. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a tablet core and a coating film. The tablet core comprises a drug-pulling layer, and the coating film comprises 50-90 wt % of cellulose acetate and 10-50 wt % of Copovidone. The Copovidone can be obtained by means of the polymerization of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate in a molar ratio of 40:60-80:20.

A water-dissolvable compressed oral nicotine lozenge is disclosed, the oral nicotine lozenge comprising a first module and a second module, the first and the second modules being fused by compression, the first module being a lozenge module comprising at least one sugar alcohol and the second module being an FDT-module comprising at least one sugar alcohol and nicotine. Also, a method of manufacturing a water-dissolvable compressed oral nicotine lozenge is disclosed.
