Abstract: A new oral pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a core material that contains a proton pump inhibitor, one or more alkaline reacting compounds and optionally pharmaceutical excipients having a water soluble separating layer and an enteric coating layer. The core material as such is alkaline reacting and the separating layer between the alkaline reacting core material and the enteric coating layer is formed in situ as a water soluble salt between the alkaline reacting compound(s) and the enteric coating polymer. The invention also describes a new efficient process for the manufacture of such a dosage form comprising two functionally different layers in one manufacturing step, and its use in medicine.

Abstract: A drug delivery system for oral administration in solid dry form of greasy/oily/sticky substance(s) and pharmaceutically active substance(s) or pharmaceutically active substance(s) which itself/themselves is/are greasy/oily/sticky) characterized by having a plurality of solid, polymeric matrix beads comprising considerable amounts of greasy/oily/sticky substances and having fast release characteristics and a process for the preparation of such solid, polymeric matrix beads comprising greasy/oily/sticky substances.

Abstract: An enteric coated pharmaceutical dosage form comprising an H+,K+-ATPase inhibitor is disclosed. The dosage form comprises at least two portions of the H+,K+- ATPase inhibitor to be released in at least two consecutive pulses. The dosage form has at least one fraction with a pulsed delayed release and another fraction with instant release of the H+,K+-ATPase inhibitor. The portions are released in time by from 0.5 and up to 12 hours interval, preferably by from 0.5 and up to 8 hours, and more preferably by from 0.5 and up to 4 hours interval. The dosage form is intended for once daily administration.

Abstract: An enteric coated pharmaceutical extended release dosage form of a H+, K+-ATPase inhibitor giving an extended plasma concentration profile of a H+, K+-ATPase inhibitor. The extended plasma profile is obtained by a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a core material of a hydrophilic or hydrophobic matrix, and the H+, K+-ATPase inhibitor and optionally pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The dosage form may be administered once daily.

Abstract: A new oral pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a core material that contains a proton pump inhibitor, one or more alkaline reacting compounds and optionally pharmaceutical excipients having a water soluble separating layer and an enteric coating layer. The core material as such is alkaline reacting and the separating layer between the alkaline reacting core material and the enteric coating layer is formed in situ as a water soluble salt between the alkaline reacting compound(s) and the enteric coating polymer. The invention also describes a new efficient process for the manufacture of such a dosage form comprising two functionally different layers in one manufacturing step, and its use in medicine.

Abstract: A drug delivery system for oral administration in solid dry form of a greasy/oily/sticky substance and a pharmaceutically active substance or a pharmaceutically active substance which itself is greasy/oily/sticky characterized by having a plurality of porous inorganic particles of small size incorporated with considerable amounts of greasy/oily/sticky substances and having fast release characteristics and a process for the preparation of such porous inorganic particles containing greasy/oily/sticky substances.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an effervescent pharmaceutical preparation comprising effervescent excipients and a plurality of individual units comprising a pharmaceutically active compound and optional excipients wherein the units (1) are provided with a floating generating system. The floating generating systems comprises at least two coating layers, one of which is a gas generating layer (2) and the other layer is a barrier layer (3) enclosing the generated gas. Furthermore the invention is related to a process for the manufacture of the dosage forms, and their use in medicine.

Abstract: A new tableted multiple unit effervescent dosage form containing an acid susceptible proton pump inhibitor in the form of the racemate, an alkaline salt thereof or one of its single enantiomers or an alkaline salt thereof, and effervescent tablet constituents. The proton pump inhibitor is preferably omeprazole or an alkaline salt thereof, or S-omeprazole or an alkaline salt thereof. Further the invention refers to a method for the manufacture of such a formulation, and the use of such a formulation in medicine.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition which is a combination of the ACE inhibitor ramipril and a calcium antagonist of one of the dihydropyridine type compounds felodipine, nitrendipine, nifedipine and lacidipine. The pharmaceutical composition is for use in the therapy and treatment of hypertension.
