COLONIC RELEASE FOOD SUPPLY AS A COADJUVANT IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF COLONIC DISORDERS CAUSED BY A SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED ALTERATION OF THE INFLAMMATORY PATTERN AND MICROBIOTA DESTABILIZATION
Oral tablet comprising as active principle an association of dry extracts of turmeric, pomegranate and Boswellia, with colonic release, wherein said release is guaranteed by the presence of a combination of sodium alginate and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in the relative matrix in which the aforementioned active ingredients are dispersed. This oral tablet, preferably in the form of a food supplement, is employed as co-adjuvant in the treatment and prevention of colonic disorders caused by suspected or confirmed alteration of the inflammatory situation and destabilization of the microbiota.
Compositions, methods of treatment and diagnostics for treatment of hepatic steatosis alone or in combination with a Hepatitis C virus infection
The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that relate to the inhibition, resolution and/or prevention of an array of the manifestations of metabolic syndromes, including Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, fatty liver diseases and certain chronic inflammatory states that lead to these manifestations, among others. In additional aspects, the present invention relates to compositions and methods which may be used to treat, inhibit or reduce the likelihood of hepatitis viral infections, including Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viral infections, as well as the secondary disease states and/or conditions which are often associated with such viral infections, including hepatic steatosis (steatohepatitis), cirrhosis, fatty liver and hepatocellular cancer, among other disease states or conditions.
Pharmaceutical processing
A method for making a controlled release material, comprising the steps of: — (a) forming granules comprising one or more wax and one or more disintegrant; (b) spheronisation of the granules and (c) compaction of the spheronised granules of step so as to form the controlled release material. The invention also relates to a tablet and delayed and sustained release material made according to the method.
Pharmaceutical bead formulations comprising dimethyl fumarate
The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions of dimethyl fumarate. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are in the form of a bead and comprise (i) an inert core; (ii) a first layer surrounding the inert core, wherein the first layer comprises dimethyl fumarate; and (iii) an enteric coating surrounding the first layer. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions in the form of a bead comprising a core and an enteric coating surrounding the core, wherein the core comprises dimethyl fumarate. Methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for treating multiple sclerosis are also included.
Tablet dosage formulations of oleyl phosphocholine
