Abstract: A controlled release delivery device for controlled release of an active ingredient comprising: (i) a core particle comprising the active ingredient homogenously dispersed or dissolved therein; and (ii) an organosol polymeric coat comprising a homogenous mixture of, (a) a water soluble gel forming polymer and a water insoluble organosoluble polymer in a dry weight ratio of from about 20:80 to about 50:50, (b) an organosolvent, and (c) an anti-tacking agent; the organosol polymeric coat being applied directly to and substantially enveloping the core particle.

Abstract: Drug delivery formulations, uses thereof and methods of making same are provided in order to reduce the potential for abuse, misuse or improper administration of an addictive substance or any active substance and to prevent, reduce, inhibit, or delay purposeful or accidental overdose of an active substance by ingesting too many dosage forms at once, for example.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical paste composition comprising an active ingredient such as an addictive substance, a controlled release agent, and a pharmaceutically suitable aqueous or non-aqueous carrier. The composition may comprise one or more of a clay, or an oily, waxy, or fatty substance. The composition may be filled into a capsule or other dispensing device. The composition may reduce dose dumping of an active ingredient. Methods of making and using the composition are also described.

Abstract: In an aspect, a formulation is provided that comprises at least one active substance and at least one coat comprising Eudragit E (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer), wherein the formulation is free of any active substance external to the coat. The formulation is effective in preventing significant dose dumping in alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverage(s). In another aspect, a formulation is provided that comprises a loading dose having at least one active substance, wherein the release of the at least one active substance shows a Point Of Divergence (POD), in a dissolution profile, with the loading dose representing a point in a timeline where the history of the dissolution or release rate changes from an onset of action to another set of points in the timeline represented by a controlled release. The formulation may be used for releasing up to about 55% of a total dose as a loading dose in order to manage pain.
