Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of preparing an extended release pharmaceutical composition comprising cyclobenzaprine, comprising coating inert particles with a cyclobenzaprine-containing a drug layering composition to form IR beads, then coating the IR beads with an extended-release coating to form ER beads.

Abstract: The compositions of the present invention are orally disintegrating tablet compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one drug such as temazepam, 0.5-3% of an ODT binder polymer, a sugar alcohol and/or saccharide, and a disintegrant.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of preparing an extended release pharmaceutical composition comprising cyclobenzaprine, comprising coating inert particles with a cyclobenzaprine-containing the drug layering composition and a seal coating composition to form IR beads, then coating the IR beads with an extended release coating to form ER beads.

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: This invention pertains to cross-linked hydrophilic polymeric films, the process of making such films, and their use. The films of this invention are produced by solubilizing a water-soluble polymer with a photosensitive or light degradable catalyst, optionally drying said solution, and exposing the solution to an energy source, particularly light. These films are suitable for use as a carrier for biologically active agents, such as pharmaceuticals, both human and veterinary, insecticides, and fertilizers; as hydrophilic membranes for separation processes; as bandages for wound treatment; as body implants or as coatings for such implants; and as coatings on glass, metal, wood or ceramics.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of removing residual organic solvents from formed compressed articles such as tablets comprised of subjecting the organic solvent laden compressed article to a supercritical fluid or near critical gas whereby residual solvent is transferred from the solvent laden solid article to the supercritical fluid or near critical gas and separating the residual solvent depleted compressed article from the solvent enriched supercritical fluid or near critical gas.
