(first 2 hours in 0.1N HCl followed by testing in a buffer at pH 6.8).

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising dicyclomine, or salts, and/or solvates and methods of making and using the compositions to treat intestinal hypermotility or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The present invention also provides once-a-day orally disintegrating dosage forms comprising compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: A unit dosage form, such as a capsule or the like, for delivering a skeletal muscle relaxant, such as cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, into the body in an extended or sustained release fashion comprising one or more populations of drug-containing particles (beads, pellets, granules, etc.) is disclosed. At least one bead population exhibits a pre-designed sustained release profile. Such a drug delivery system is designed for once-daily oral administration to maintain an adequate plasma concentration—time profile, thereby providing relief of muscle spasm associated with painful musculoskeletal conditions over a 24 hour period.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to orally administered corticosteroid compositions. The present invention also provides a method for treating a condition associated with inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract in an individual. The method comprises administering to an individual in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.

Abstract: Compositions of the present invention, comprising the combination of enterically coated and uncoated pancreatic enzyme-containing beads are useful for treating or preventing pancreatitis pain, and optionally disorders associated with digestive enzyme deficiencies.

Abstract: Extended release ondansetron compositions of the present invention are useful for treating postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and/or postdischarge nausea and vomiting (PDNV).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a plurality of taste-masked non-opioid analgesic/opioid analgesic drug-containing microparticles, dosage forms comprising such pharmaceutical compositions (such as an orally disintegrating tablet), and methods of making the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the present invention. Dosage forms comprising the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are improved homogeneous blends of non-opioid and opioid analgesics which provide for more convenient and palatable administration of drug combinations, for example for treating pain.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a plurality of taste-masked high-dose/low-dose drug-containing microparticles, dosage forms comprising such pharmaceutical compositions (such as an orally disintegrating tablet), and methods of making the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the present invention. Dosage forms comprising the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are improved homogeneous blends of high-dose and low-dose drugs which provide for more convenient and palatable administration of drug combinations, for example for treating pain, hyperglycemia, cardiovascular disease, and allergies.

Abstract: A unit dosage form, such as a capsule or the like, for delivering a skeletal muscle relaxant, such as cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, into the body in an extended or sustained release fashion comprising one or more populations of drug-containing particles (beads, pellets, granules, etc.) is disclosed. At least one bead population exhibits a pre-designed sustained release profile. Such a drug delivery system is designed for once-daily oral administration to maintain an adequate plasma concentration—time profile, thereby providing relief of muscle spasm associated with painful musculoskeletal conditions over a 24 hour period.

Abstract: A unit dosage form, such as a tablet for delivering potassium into the body in a controlled release fashion, comprises of a multiplicity of microencapsulated potassium chloride crystals, which are further coated with a plasticized polymer to improve compressibility of the microcapsules. The compressible microcapsules are blended with a compression aid, such as microcrystalline cellulose and a glidant, such as colloidal silicon dioxide, to form controlled release potassium chloride tablets. The tablets may optionally include other excipients such as surfactants and disintegrants. The tablets thus produced exhibit not only high crushing strength and low friability but also release potassium in humans in a desired controlled release fashion similar to commercially available potassium chloride tablets.
