Abstract: Extended-release formulations can be prepared that comprise a core and an optional coating layer formed over the core. The core comprises a therapeutically effective amount an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), a non-swelling matrix forming agent comprising a water-soluble agent and a water-insoluble polymer; one or more extended-release agents; an optional, wicking agent; and one or more optional excipients. Such formulations may be useful for preparing extended-release formulations of pregabalin that are suitable for once-daily dosing for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) or postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

Abstract: A method of forming a multi-particulate dosage form using rotary granulation is described in which polyethylene oxide is employed as s binder in a rotary granulation process. A multi-particulate oral dosage form comprises a plurality of pellets, the pellets comprising a core having disposed thereon a core composition layer. The core composition layer comprises venlafaxine and a binder, wherein the binder comprises a polyethylene oxide. In other embodiments, the binder comprises a 1:2:1 bis (butyl methacrylate-co-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate.
