Abstract: Extended release pyridostigmine dosage forms, suitable for maintaining stable plasma concentrations with reduced or minimized initial burst release/dose dumping of pyridostigmine, are provided. The dosage forms include matrix tablets, gastroretentive tablets, and pellets, the latter being suitable for dosing in capsules, tablets, and sachets, as well as for sprinkling on foodstuffs. The disclosure also provides methods for improving patient compliance by administering once-a-day extended release pyridostigmine bromide dosage forms that provide a superior controlled drug release.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to floating gastroretentive dosage forms with prolonged gastric residence time. The disclosure also provides rapidly expanding sustained release or combined immediate release and sustained release formulations comprising drugs that require targeted release in the proximal gastrointestinal tract for maximum therapeutic benefit. The rapidly expanding floating gastroretentive dosage forms comprise a permeable elastic membrane providing desired characteristics for drug release and mechanical strength to maintain tablet integrity.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides extended release trihexyphenidyl compositions suitable for once- or twice-daily administration. The compositions comprise a core comprising at least one organic acid; at least one drug layer comprising trihexyphenidyl or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof over the core; and a functional coat over the drug-layered core. The compositions of the disclosure provide extended release with reduced Cmax, a Cmin:Cmax ratio of ?0.4, Fluctuation Index of ?1, while providing and maintaining at least a minimum therapeutically effective plasma concentration, of the trihexyphenidyl or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for at least about 10 hours. The compositions of the disclosure improve solubility of the trihexyphenidyl or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a pH of greater than or equal to 5, to provide and maintain at least a minimum effective concentration of the drug at such pH.
