  • Publication number: 20230301927
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing an orally administered pharmaceutical composition with colonic delivery, comprising at least one core and a coating layer, making it possible to obtain a pharmaceutical composition which exhibits uniform and reproducible dissolution and therefore likewise uniform and reproducible release of the active ingredient with low coefficients of variation, said process being characterized in that it comprises the following steps: a) Spraying onto a neutral support an aqueous suspension comprising at least one anionic (meth)acrylate copolymer that is soluble at a pH greater than 5.5 and at least one active ingredient intended to be delivered in the colon; or a?) Spraying onto a neutral support an aqueous suspension comprising at least one anionic (meth)acrylate copolymer that is soluble at a pH greater than 5.

  • Publication number: 20220296507
    Abstract: A low-dosage orodispersible opioid tablet including: 10 to 30% by weight of opioid granules, and 70% to 90% by weight of a mixture of compression excipients. The granules include 8 to 27% by weight of the opioid and 72% to 93% by weight of a mixture of diluent and binder. The mixture of compression excipients includes at least one disintegrating agent, one diluting agent, one lubricating agent, one permeabilising agent, and optionally a sweetener, a flavouring and/or a colouring, the ratio between the lubricating agent and the permeabilising agent being greater than or equal to 1, the quantity of lubricating agent being 1 to 2% by weight of the tablet, and the quantity of permeabilising agent being 0.5 to 5% by weight of the tablet. Also, the method for preparing same.

  • Patent number: 8658212
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pharmaceutical composition containing micronized fenofibrate, a surfactant and a binding cellulose derivative, as solubilizing adjuvant, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The cellulose derivative represents less than 20 wt. % of the composition. The association of micronized fenofibrate with a binding cellulose derivative, as solubilizing adjuvant and a surfactant enables to enhance the bioavailability of the active principle. The invention also concerns a method for preparing said composition without using any organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 8409612
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation of a gastric proton pump inhibitor, with the exception of omeprazole, is disclosed. The formulation is in the form of microgranules insoluble in gastric fluid having improved stability over time. The formulation comprises several hydrophobic substances chosen in order to increase the stability of the active principle while obtaining the desired dissolution profile.
