Abstract: There is provided a pharmaceutical dosage form that is suitable for peroral administration to the gastrointestinal tract, which dosage form comprises a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a particulate mixture comprising solid particles of N-butyloxycarbonyl-3-(4-imidazol-1-ylmethylphenyl)-5-iso-butylthiophene-2-sulfonamide (C21), or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, admixed with a blend of carrier particles with weight- and/or a volume-based mean diameter, and/or a structural/particle density, that is/are similar to the weight- and/or volume-based mean diameter, and/or the structural/particle density, of the solid particles of C21, and a glidant, which composition is contained within a capsule that is suitable for such peroral administration. Preferred carrier particles have a weight- and/or a volume-based mean diameter that is less than about 100 ?m. Preferred carrier particle materials include mannitol. Preferred glidants comprise colloidal silica.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drug release formulation, in particular a sustained release formulation for ophthalmic applications and a method of preparing same. The method is based on the hydration of a given solid polymeric matrix material under mild conditions, allowing versatility with respect to the drug to be formulated. Both said solid polymeric matrix material as well the API hydrated formulation is an object of the present invention. The thus obtained material is particularly suitable for prolonged and sustained delivery of medication to the eye. Thus in a further aspect, the present invention provides the use of said solid polymeric matrix material as well the API hydrated formulation, in ophthalmic applications.
