  • Publication number: 20070196474
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the ability to provide rapidly disintegrating tablets through the inclusion of a calcium carbonate material in combination with other common tablet components. Such a calcium carbonate material must exhibit a sufficiently low surface area in order to boost the ability of the tablet to separate quickly when introduced into a user's mouth cavity. Such a tablet is dimensionally stable prior to use (low friability) and, when immersed in water the tablet disintegrates therein in less than about 60 seconds.

    Inventors: Michael Withiam, Dev Mehra, John Cornelius
  • Publication number: 20070196476
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the ability to provide rapidly disintegrating tablets through the inclusion of a titanium dioxide material in combination with other common tablet components. Such a titanium dioxide material must exhibit a sufficiently low surface area in order to boost the ability of the tablet to separate quickly when introduced into a user's mouth cavity. Such a tablet is dimensionally stable prior to use (low friability) and, when immersed in water the tablet disintegrates therein in less than about 60 seconds.

  • Publication number: 20070196475
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the ability to provide rapidly disintegrating tablets through the inclusion of a silica material in combination with other common tablet components. Such a silica material must exhibit a sufficiently low surface area in order to boost the ability of the table to separate quickly when introduced into a user's mouth cavity. Such a tablet is dimensionally stable prior to use (low friability) and, when immersed in water the tablet disintegrates therein in less than about 60 seconds.

  • Publication number: 20070196477
    Abstract: This invention pertains to the ability to provide rapidly disintegrating tablets through the inclusion of a calcium phosphate material in combination with other common tablet components. Such a calcium phosphate material must exhibit a sufficiently low surface area in order to boost the ability of the table to separate quickly when introduced into a user's mouth cavity. Such a tablet is dimensionally stable prior to use (low friability) and, when immersed in water the tablet disintegrates therein in less than about 60 seconds.

  • Publication number: 20060078897
    Abstract: A novel method of correlating the disposition of a specific drug in an individual patient to a controlled and modulated delivery system for optimizing therapeutic response of orally ingested dosage forms is provided. Such a method broadly encompasses a first determination of an individual's metabolic rate in terms of absorption of pharmaceutical materials from within the gastrointestinal tract measured as blood plasma concentration over a specific period of time after ingestion or by other commercially available methods and subsequent determination: 1) predicting a proper pharmaceutical compositions, in terms of amount of active available for absorption by the target patient; and 2) amount of such active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to be formulated within a drug-delivery device that will take into account the unique metabolic profile of the drug (or drugs) in a specific patient.
