Abstract: A veterinary extruded soft chew has as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), milbemycin oxime or one of its salts, and praziquantel or one of its salts. The APIs are uniformly dispersed in a matrix having one or more fillers, a polyethylene glycol (PEG), a non-animal based palatant, a disintegrant, a humectant, an oil, water, and preservatives. Neither the milbemycin oxime or one of its salts, nor the praziquantel or one of its salts is coated, granulated or physically separated from the other APIs within the matrix. More importantly, the soft chew does not comprise any palatant of animal origin.

Abstract: A soft-chewable product (1) for oral administration, having at least one pair of score markings (5, 6) configured to favor a division of the product into doses (1a, 1b), the force required to divide the product (1) into doses (1a, 1b) along the at least one pair of score markings (5, 6) being between 10 and 60 N and the loss of mass during the division of the product (1) into doses (1a, 1b) being less than 0.5%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coating composition for application to a veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration, by a film coating method, comprising a powder appetising material a binder and a solvent. The invention further relates to a coating method by film coating of a solid veterinary pharmaceutical for oral administration and appetising medicaments for animals comprising a veterinary pharmaceutical composition and an appetising coating arranged around said composition, comprising an appetising material and a binder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiparticulate tablet with improved gastro-protection comprising at least a pharmaceutically active substance in the form of enteric coated particles, and a mixture of tableting excipients, wherein the said mixture of excipients comprising xylitol and/or maltitol, each in a directly compressible form, a disintegrating agent, a lubricant and at least one other diluent and the ratio of a) the xylitol and/or the maltitol to b) the other diluent(s) is less than 5/95 (weight/weight) and the result of the “test of integrity of the film” is greater than 95%, preferably greater than 97% and more preferably still greater than 99% and the result of the “release test” is greater than 90%, preferably greater than 95%. According to one embodiment of the invention, the active substance is omeprazole or esomeprazole. According to another embodiment the tablet is a disintegratable tablet, which disintegrate in the mouth with or without chewing.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a coating composition for application to a solid veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiac insufficiency in animals, by a method of film coating comprising a powder appetizing material, a binder and a solvent. The invention further relates to a coating method by film coating of solid veterinary pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiac insufficiency in animals and appetizing medicaments for animals comprising a solid veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiac insufficiency in animals made from pimobendan and an appetizing coating arranged around said composition comprising an appetizing material and a binder.
