An object of the present invention is to provide a controlled-release preparation containing 2-{4-[N-(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)-N-isopropylamino]butyloxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetamide as an active ingredient and having an excellent release property.

A controlled-release preparation characterized by containing 2-{4-[N-(5,6-diphenylpyrazin-2-yl)-N-isopropylamino]butyloxy}-N-(methylsulfonyl)acetamide, a water-soluble polymer, a functional starch, and an alkaline substance, and having a pH of 10 or more.

The present invention provides a tablet showing high stability of the active ingredients (potassium-competitive acid blocker and acetylsalicylic acid) and stably and rapidly expressing the pharmacological effects of the active ingredients after administration. The present invention provides a tablet containing an inner core and an outer layer, wherein the inner core is an enteric-coated tablet containing acetylsalicylic acid, and the outer layer contains a potassium-competitive acid blocker free of enteric coating.

Controlled release and taste masking compositions containing one or more active principles inglobated in a three-component matrix structure, i.e. a structure formed by successive amphiphilic, lipophilic or inert matrices and finally inglobated or dispersed in hydrophilic matrices. The use of a plurality of systems for the control of the dissolution of the active ingredient modulates the dissolution rate of the active ingredient in aqueous and/or biological fluids, thereby controlling the release kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract.

The present invention includes compositions and methods of making films, adhesive patches, or composites comprising a polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer (PCL-PVAc-PEG) and a partially hydrophilic oil, wherein the composition transitions from a viscous liquid, to an adhesive, and to a film as a weight percent (wt %) ratio of PCL-PVAc-PEG to partially hydrophilic oil changes.

Disclosed are colon-specific delayed-release pharmaceutical compositions comprising: a) a matrix consisting of hydrophilic substances wherein curcumin is dispersed; b) a gastroresistant or acid-resistant pH-independent coating with a lag time of matrix a).

The present invention relates to a controlled release formulation comprising the active compounds tesofensine and a beta blocker, such as metoprolol or carvedilol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The invention further relates to use of the controlled release formulation in a method of treatment of diabetes, obesity, or an obesity associated disorder.

A composition contains silicic acid polycondensate modified with organic groups, as a coating for medicines and foodstuffs or as a component in such a coating. The organic groups are partially or wholly biodegradeable. A method for producing a product coated with the composition and a coated product are further described.

The instant application relates to the field of pharmaceutical compositions comprising dasatinb. Furthermore, the instant application relates to a method of treating proliferative disorders in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of said compositions.

Compositions for reducing the frequency of urination and methods of manufacturing the compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprises a first component having an immediate-release subcomponent and an extended-release subcomponent, wherein the first component is formulated to release the subcomponents immediately after administration; and a second component comprising an immediate-release subcomponent and an extended-release subcomponent, wherein the second component is formulated for a delayed-release of the subcomponents.

Described herein is a fibrous water-soluble unit dose with an active agent in the form of an acid.
