  • Patent number: 9687445
    Abstract: A control release and abuse-resistant opiate drug delivery oral wafer or edible oral film dosage to treat pain and substance abuse is provided. The drug delivery oral wafer or edible oral film dosage includes a controlled release layer containing enteric-release beads dispersed in a polymer matrix. The enteric-release beads are formed from a therapeutic amount of an opioid agonist and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sub-therapeutic amount of opioid antagonist and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof coated or encapsulated in an enteric-release polymer. The controlled release polymer matrix dissolves or disintegrates following administration or consumption of the oral wafer or edible oral film, releasing the enteric-release beads to be swallowed, with subsequent absorption of the active ingredients within the patient's intestines.

  • Patent number: 9687423
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a nanoemulsion, including mixing an oil phase part (A) containing a ceramide or derivative thereof, cholesterol, non-ionic surfactant, phospholipid and a polyol, a perfume part (B) containing a perfume ingredient, non-ionic surfactant and an alcohol, and an aqueous phase part (C) containing the other water-soluble active ingredients. When a nanoemulsion is obtained by the method, it is possible to reduce processing time and cost since a non-ionic surfactant is used without a high-pressure emulsification process, and the obtained nanoemulsion is more stable against a change in temperature than the other solubilized formulations.
