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.

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.

Novel hydrocodone bitartrate and guaifenesin pharmaceutical compositions. Methods of making and using the hydrocodone bitartrate and guaifenesin pharmaceutical compositions also are disclosed.

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.

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.

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations that overcome inflammatory bowel disease and other disorders or diseases associated with a deficiency in microflora catabolize hydrolyzable tannins Disclosed are methods of using an acid-tolerant tannase that allow the stomach to serve as a “bioreactor” followed by the small intestine for optimal activity, while probiotic strains that specifically target tannins are simultaneously consumed, aiding in the hydrolysis and metabolism. Through colonization, these bacteria can establish and proliferate, and adaption leads to a decrease of the “bad” bacteria while the targeted bacteria proliferate. The formulations and methods provided herein present a short-term (tannase) and long-term (pre- and pro-biotic) solution to poor tannin metabolism. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to a modified-release composition of mazindol and its use in the treatment of attention deficit disorders (ADD) or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or related deficit of alertness (i.e., incoercible sleepiness) or decline of vigilance (i.e., daytime somnolence) or excessive daytime sleepiness (e.g., narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia) in particular in children, adolescents and adults.

The present invention relates to a multilayer pharmaceutical or nutraceutical solid dosage form comprising at least one pyrimidine derivative, purine derivative or any salt or solvate thereof and least one B-group vitamin. It also provides three methods for producing said multilayer pharmaceutical or nutraceutical solid dosage forms. Furthermore, the present invention is also related to therapeutic uses of said multilayer pharmaceutical or nutraceutical solid dosage forms, particularly for the treatment and/or prevention of peripheral neuropathy.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

The present invention relates to a method of reducing body weight or hyperphagia in Prader-Willi patients comprising administering the active compound Tesofensine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, preferably by the administration of a controlled release formulation comprising the active compounds tesofensine and a beta blocker. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising no more than 0.150 mg of Tesofensine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and no more than 25 mg Metoprolol
