Abstract: A fast acting orally disintegrating film (ODF) for treatment of various medical conditions including emesis that has a simple formulation, easy to manufacture and has similar pharmacokinetic profile to currently commercially available orally administered drug products is provided. The ODF comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient such as ondansetron or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt thereof in an amount of 2 to 24 mg, at least one hydrophilic film forming polymer in an amount of at least 8% by weight of the film, wherein the at least one hydrophilic film forming polymer is characterized by having a molecular weight of 5000 to 50000 Da, and a water soluble excipient in an amount of 10 to 30% by weight of the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transdermal drug delivery system of pharmaceutical compositions, which have a satisfactory in-vitro performance and good bioavailability. In particular, the transdermal pharmaceutical composition of clobazam in the present invention includes a micro-emulsion in liquid or semi solid form, in a dosage form adapted for transdermal delivery (e.g., transdermal patch) for treatment of certain types of epilepsy and anxiety for continues application.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transdermal delivery system, which comprises a drug-containing matrix layer comprising: galantamine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt as an active ingredient; and a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer or a styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer as an adhesive.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a transdermal delivery system comprising methylphenidate or its salt as an active ingredient. Also provided are methods of delivering a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate to a subject for the treatment of a disease condition. The disease condition includes a neurological condition such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and/or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Kits including the transdermal delivery system and methods of making and using the transdermal delivery system are also provided.

Abstract: A fast acting orally disintegrating film (ODF) for administration of local anesthetic for alleviating physical and psychological discomfort in the oral cavity during procedures such as dental procedures or for relieving pain generally such as toothaches. The ODF comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient such as lidocaine free base or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a therapeutically acceptable amount such as about 24 mg, at least one primary hydrophilic film forming polymer, at least one secondary hydrophilic film forming polymer, wherein the ratio of the primary hydrophilic film forming polymer to the secondary hydrophilic film forming polymer is about 1:1 to about 20:1 by weight. The ODF further comprises a plasticizer wherein the ratio of the total weight of primary and secondary hydrophilic film forming polymer to the weight of the plasticizer is about 4:1 to about 4:3.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an oral pharmaceutical composition in the form of an aqueous solution of atomoxetine as an active ingredient. The aqueous solution of atomoxetine comprises a taste-masked liquid carrier comprising peppermint, orange flavor and a viscosity agent. The combined flavors successfully masked atomoxetine hydrochloride's bitter smell and/or taste which makes it a novel palatable pharmaceutical composition. The viscosity agent improves the oral pharmaceutical composition's consistency and provides a smooth texture which makes it easy to swallow. More specifically, the oral pharmaceutical composition comprises effective amounts of: (a) atomoxetine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; and (b) a taste-masked liquid carrier. Also provided is a method for making the aqueous solution of atomoxetine. The present disclosure also provides methods of using oral pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a subject having a disorder treatable by the administration of atomoxetine.
