  • Patent number: 6143325
    Abstract: Extended-release nefazodone compositions containing nefazodone hydrochloride, ionic and non-ionic gelling polymers, an insoluble hydrophilic agent, and optional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients demonstrate pH-modulated release of nefazodone. These compositions are formulated into unit dosage forms for improved oral administration. The improvements comprise an extended drug release profile providing comparative levels of nefazodone with respect to immediate release dosage forms and, additionally, demonstrating the lack of a food effect.

  • Patent number: 5137730
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention an improved tablet composition for drugs or active ingredients prone to poor tabletting properties is disclosed. The improved composition comprises a premixture, consisting essentially of between about 85 and 99.9 percent by weight of the active ingredient and between about 0.1 and 15 percent by weight of citric acid, and one or more other formulation ingredients added to premixture. The present invention also involves the process for making such compositions and products therefrom.
