Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising metaxalone which demonstrate improved dissolution and bioavailability characteristics compared to the commercially available product, and methods of producing them are provided. In a preferred embodiment, a dosage form comprising metaxalone and at least one inactive powder excipient is bioequivalent to its commercially available counterpart (Skelaxin® 400-mg tablets) after oral administration to fasting or non-fasting human subjects, while at the same time displaying faster drug dissolution rates than the Skelaxin® tablets as demonstrated from three different dissolution tests. In another preferred embodiment, a dosage form comprising metaxalone, at least one inactive powder excipient and a nonvolatile liquid is significantly more bioavailable than the commercially available Skelaxin® 400-mg tablets after oral administration to fasting human subjects.

Abstract: Fenofibric acid formulations comprising 105 mg of fenofibric acid are described as well as methods of use thereof. Dosage forms include, for example, immediate-release dosage forms.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of using metaxalone. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining that a patient in need metaxalone therapy is taking a substance that is a n inhibitor or an inducer of a cytochrome p450 isozyme, wherein the cytochrome P450 is CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4, and adjusting administration to the patient of metaxalone or the substance to avoid an adverse event associated with metaxalone. In another embodiment, the method comprises informing a user that metaxalone is metabolized by a cytochrome p450 isozyme, wherein the cytochrome P450 is CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP3A4. Also included are articles of manufacture comprising a container containing a dosage form of metaxalone, wherein the container is associated with published material informing that metaxalone affects activity of a cytochrome p450 isozyme. Also disclosed are a method of treatment and a method of manufacturing a metaxalone product.

Abstract: The present invention includes a controlled-release composition having a matrix. The matrix contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of an active agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, an ionic non-gelling matrix polymer, and a pH modifier. The ionic non-gelling matrix polymer is practically insoluble and unswellable at a first aqueous fluid pH and is soluble at a second aqueous fluid pH. The pH modifier is present in an amount to control the release of the active agent from the composition. The controlled-release composition is substantially free of a gelling or swellable excipient and does not contain a functional coating or a lipophilic component. The present invention also provides methods of making and using the controlled-release compositions.
