Abstract: Included are compositions, and methods of making, coated controlled-release drug and ion exchange resin form complexes. Methacrylate coatings, which can be free of plasticizers particularly with Eudragit® NE type polymer, are preferred to enhance the control of drug release from the drug-resin complexes. Liquid formulations including the coated resin forms and a chelating agent to inhibit degradation are also included.

Abstract: Stable, liquid compositions of levetiracetam that are substantially or entirely free of preservatives, particularly parabens, and/or sugars, such as natural sugars and sugar alcohols. The liquid compositions preferably include oral solutions or suspensions, and may include pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

Abstract: A stable liquid composition comprising warfarin sodium, glycerin, an alcohol such as ethanol, and a pH buffer such as a phosphate buffer providing a pH above 7 is provided. The stability of the composition is characterized by the amount of warfarin sodium in the composition degraded after 1 month at room temperature, which is 5% or less. A method for preparing the composition and a method for providing an anti-coagulant therapy are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved oral liquid compositions that include sumatriptan, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or metabolite thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that includes a liquid portion of the composition. The compositions are substantially free of oxidation impurities. Typically, the compositions include a sweetening agent and a flavoring agent, or a bitterness-reducing agent and flavoring agent. Processes of preparing such compositions and methods of administering such compositions are also included.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved oral liquid compositions that include losartan, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or metabolite thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in an amount sufficient to provide a pH of about 6 or higher. Processes of preparing such compositions and methods of administering such compositions are also included.
