  • Transmucosal delivery of proton pump inhibitors
    Publication number: 20040006111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for transmucosal delivery of proton pump inhibitors. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises a core which comprises an antacid, and an outer layer surrounding the core. The outer layer contains a therapeutically effective amount of a proton pump inhibitor. In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises an outer layer which comprising a unidirectional film, and an inner layer which contains a therapeutically effective amount of a proton pump inhibitor. In yet another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a unidirectional tablet for delivery of a proton pump inhibitor across the oral mucosa.
