Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for oral administration comprising a free-flowing granular powder comprising diclofenac or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable substantially non-hygroscopic water soluble diluent, an optional binder, and one or more optional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein the composition is devoid of any alkalizer, buffer or base. The pharmaceutical composition is divided into unit doses containing a therapeutically effective amount of diclofenac, and may be incorporated into sachets, tablets or capsules. and not less than 85% of the free-flowing granulate powder dissolves after 3 minutes in simulated intestinal fluid at pH 6.8. The pharmaceutical composition is rapidly bioavailable when orally administered to a mammal, e.g., human.

Abstract: There is provided a once-a-day therapeutically synergistic pharmaceutical dosage form for treatment of cardiovascular disorders, wherein the dosage form comprises a fixed dose combination of metoprolol in extended release form and one or more calcium channel blocker, angiotensin II receptor blocker or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor along with one or more rate controlling excipient.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved therapy for treating resistant bacterial infections caused by extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBLs)-producing strains in a warm-blooded animal, adjuvant step down therapy, and pharmaceutical compositions for such therapies. The invention also relates to a method for inhibiting bacterial resistance in ESBLs-producing strains so as to have better control over the therapy; achieve reduced hospital stay and adjuvant step down therapy so as to avoid recrudescence. In particular, the therapy includes antibacterial combination of cefepime with sulbactam via parenteral route, followed by oral third generation cephalosporin with a suitable ? lactamase inhibitor.
