  • Publication number: 20180326067
    Abstract: A thermoformed, tamper-resistant pharmaceutical dosage form comprises: a) a pharmacologically active ingredient; b) a polyalkylene oxide having a weight average molecular weight of more than 200,000 g/mol; and c) a zinc component, wherein the content of said zinc component is at least 1 ppm, relative to the total weight of the pharmaceutical dosage form. When the pharmacologically active ingredient is effective against pain, the pharmaceutical dosage form may be used in a method of treating pain. When the pharmacologically active ingredient has abuse potential, the pharmaceutical dosage form may be used in a method of reducing the incidence of the abuse of said pharmacologically active ingredient.

  • Patent number: 10080721
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-melt extruded pharmaceutical dosage form with controlled release of a pharmacologically active ingredient (A) embedded in a matrix comprising a polymer (C), the dosage form exhibiting a breaking strength of at least 300 N and having an oblong shape comprising a longitudinal direction of extension, a transversal direction of extension orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of extension, a front side, an opposite back side and a circumferential rim between said front and back side; wherein the core of the pharmaceutical dosage form has a morphological orientation caused by hot-melt extrusion that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of extension of the dosage form; and/or the release per area of the pharmacologically active ingredient (A) through the front side and the opposite back side is faster than the release through the circumferential rim.
