The invention relates to liquid pharmaceutical formulations for oral administration with the modified release of active principle(s), excluding amoxicillin, said formulations consisting of suspensions of coated particles of active principles (microcapsules). According to the invention, the microcapsules constituting the disperse phase of the suspension are designed to allow the modified release of the active principle(s) according to a profile that does not change during the storage of the liquid suspension. To do this the inventors propose the selection of a specific coating composition for the microcapsules which consists of at least four components that allow these microcapsules to be stored in water without modifying their properties of modified release of the active principle, this liquid phase furthermore being saturated with active principle(s).

Aspects of the disclosure include methods for treating hyperhidrosis in a subject with a composition including a muscarinic antagonist and a muscarinic agonist. In practicing methods according to certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including a muscarinic antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a muscarinic agonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered to a subject and is sufficient to reduce hyperhidrosis in the subject and to reduce a dry mouth side effect of the muscarinic antagonist. Compositions for practicing the subject methods are also described as well as dose units containing one or more of the subject compositions.

A multiple pulsed dose drug delivery system for pharmaceutically active amphetamine salts, comprising a pharmaceutically active amphetamine salt covered with an immediate-release coating and a pharmaceutically active amphetamine salt covered with an enteric coating wherein the immediate release coating and the enteric coating provide for multiple pulsed dose delivery of the pharmaceutically active amphetamine salt. The product can be composed of either one or a number of beads in a dosage form, including either capsule, tablet, or sachet method for administering the beads.

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.

This invention provides, in part, various compositions and methods for protecting the gastrointestinal microbiome from antibiotic disruption.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation which provides for extended release of an active pharmaceutical ingredient selected from N-[2-hydroxy-3-(1-piperidinyl)-propoxy]-pyridine-1-oxide-3-carboximidoyl chloride, its stereoisomers and the acid addition salts thereof.

Therapeutic compositions deliver a therapeutic amount of methylphenidate in a delayed and extended release formulation. The dosage form exhibits a lag time prior to release of from 6 to 8 hours or longer, followed by a sustained release period.

The present invention relates to oral dosage forms comprising Memantine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical formulations comprising the oral dosage forms, and methods for treating mild, moderate or severe Alzheimer's dementia, or neuropathic pain comprising the oral dosage forms and formulations.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising an immediate release component comprising 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and a modified release component comprising 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and the pharmacokinetics of 4-((L-valyl)oxy)butanoic acid and γ-hydroxybutyrate following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions is disclosed.

The invention relates to an oral formulation for targeted delivery of cholestyramine to the colon, comprising a plurality of cholestyramine pellets that are coated with a diffusion-controlled inner coating and an enteric outer coating. The invention also relates to the use of this formulation in the treatment of bile acid malabsorption.
