Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition and method of producing supersaturated stabilized nanoparticles of poorly soluble drugs having average sizes less than 1 ?m, or less than 800 nm, or less than 500 nm, comprising at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, a hydrophilic polymer, a water-soluble surfactant, and subsequently stabilized by ionic polymers.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides a solid, immediate release, pharmaceutical multi-particulate dosage form containing at least one population of Opioid Particulates comprising one or more opioids; at least one population of Naloxone Particulates; and a population of Triggering Particulates. Each population of particulates is designed for a specific function to accomplish the desired combination of abuse deterrence and overdose protection.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of making oral pharmaceutical compositions that contain substantially crush-resistant drug-containing microparticles. The microparticles may contain an active pharmaceutical agent, a polymer and a plasticizer. The microparticles may be uncoated (so as to impart an immediate release profile) or coated so as to impart an extended-release (ER), delayed release (DR) or delayed-extended release (DER) profile. One or more of the populations of microparticles may be coated with a taste-masking composition. The methods may produce oral compositions such as orally disintegrating tablets that contain one or more these types of microparticles in order to further customize the release profile. Also disclosed are the oral compositions, per se, and methods of using same for their intended purposes.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides solid, oral, extended release, pharmaceutical particulate and multi-particulate dosage forms with abuse deterrent and overdose protection features/characteristics comprising at least one or two populations of particulates. In certain embodiments, the first population of particulates comprises a therapeutically effective amount of at least one opioid embedded in a polymer matrix, a primary functional coat layer (FC 1), a secondary functional coat 2 coat layer (FC 2), and an over coat; wherein FC 1 comprises a nonionic water-insoluble polymer and, optionally, at least one of a cationic polymer, a nonionic water-soluble polymer, and a water-soluble plasticizer; FC 2 comprises a cationic polymer and, optionally, a nonionic water-insoluble polymer; and the over coat comprises a nonionic water-soluble polymer. The second population of particulates comprises an alkaline agent and, optionally, a pH-stabilizing agent.
