An oral pharmaceutical dosage form that comprises both acetaminophen and a glutathione replenishing agent, such as N-acetylcysteine. This allows co-administering the glutathione replenishing agent along with acetaminophen, which may be beneficial in rapidly counteracting the toxic effects of acetaminophen overdose. The oral dosage form could be in the form of a tablet or capsule. The dosage form may be designed to compartmentally separate the glutathione replenishing agent from having chemical interaction with the acetaminophen. The dosage form may be designed to mask the taste or smell of the glutathione replenishing agent.

A novel orally administrable dosage form including a drug/active layer for loading a therapeutic agent and an extension layer for retaining the API or drug dosage form in the stomach of a subject in need thereof. Also disclosed is a method of treating diseases with the dosage form.

An ibuprofen controlled-release tablet and a method for preparing same are provided. The controlled-release tablet is composed of a drug-containing immediate-release layer and a drug-containing sustained-release layer, wherein a mass of ibuprofen in the drug-containing sustained-release layer is greater than a mass of ibuprofen in the drug-containing immediate-release layer, and a ratio of the mass of the ibuprofen in the drug-containing sustained-release layer to the mass of the ibuprofen in the drug-containing immediate-release layer is ≤7. The tablet of the present disclosure has an effective analgesic effect for 24 h after administration.

A composition is based on N-palmitoyl-ethanolamide and Baicalein in the co-micronized form. The includes a mixture of palmitoyl-ethanolamide (PEA) and Baicalein in co-micronized form. The composition is usable for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The present disclosure relates to oral naproxen sodium tablets comprising roller-compacted granules, methods of preparing thereof, and methods of using thereof. The naproxen sodium tablets are formulated for and prepared by dry granulation methods, specifically roller compaction. The combination of dry granulation compatible excipients with roller compaction methods results m naproxen sodium tablets that exhibit an enhanced dissolution profile and shorter disintegration time as compared to commercially available oral naproxen sodium tablets prepared by standard wet granulation methods.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising fixed dose combinations of a DPP-4 inhibitor drug and a partner drug, processes for the preparation thereof, and their use to treat certain diseases.

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.

An oral pharmaceutical dosage form that comprises both acetaminophen and a glutathione replenishing agent, such as N-acetylcysteine.
