Abstract: The present invention relates to sublingual compositions comprising (2S)-(4E)-N-methyl-5-(3-(5-iso-propoxypyridin)yl)-4-penten-2-amine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to the preparation of said compositions and the use of thereof in therapy.

Abstract: A controlled release bead comprises: (i) a core unit of a substantially water-soluble or water-swellable inert material; (ii) a first layer on the core unit of a substantially water-insoluble polymer; (iii) a second layer covering the first layer and containing an active ingredient; and (iv) a third layer of polymer on the second layer effective for controlled release of the active ingredient, wherein the first layer is adapted to control water penetration into the core. A method of producing the controlled release bead is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to porous particles comprising one or more NO-donating Non Steroidal Antiinflammatory Compound(s) optionally mixed with one or more surfactant(s) and to new solid drug delivery composition comprising said particles optionally in combination with a second active drug. Futhermore, the invention relates to processes for producing said porous particles and solid drug delivery composition as well as the use of said composition in the manufacturing of a medicament. The No-donating NSAID may be in oily or melted form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new extended release oral dosage form of a good soluble pharmaceutically active substance. More particularly, the invention relates to an extended release oral dosage form that provides a defined blood concentration profile having no rapid initial rise in blood plasma concentration of the good soluble active substance when administered at low dose. The invention further relates to processes for preparing said dosage form, the use of said dosage form and a method of prevention and/or treatment of CNS disorders and related medical disturbances using said dosage form.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a method of treating an unstable or overactive urinary bladder by treating the patient with tolterodine or a tolterodine-related compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with a controlled release formulation that maintains a substantially constant serum level of the active moiety or moieties for at least 24 hours. The present invention is further drawn to a formulation for the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation containing tolterodine or a tolterodine-related compound, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, as active ingredient, in which the formulation exhibits a controlled in vitro release of the active ingredient in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 of not less than about 80% after 18 hours, and after oral administration to a patient is capable of maintaining a substantially constant serum level of the active moiety or moieties for 24 hours. The invention also relates to the use of the pharmaceutical formulation for treating overactive bladder and gastrointestinal disorders.
