Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel sustained-release oral formulation of morphine sulphate in the form of microgranules. Each microgranule comprises a neutral support grain coated with an active layer and with a sustained-release layer, characterized in that the sustained-release layer contains a copolymer of methacrylic acid and of methyl methacrylate ester, the relative proportion of the free carboxyl groups and of the ester groups of which is equal to 0.5 approximately, and a silica exhibiting a hydrophobic character. The present invention also concerns a process for preparing these microgranules which is carried out entirely in aqueous medium by emplacing on neutral support grains.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rapid-disintegrating tablet of the type which is intended to disintegrate in the mouth on contact with the saliva in less than 40 seconds, preferably in under 30 seconds, and which forms an easy-to-swallow suspension. The inventive tablet is made from at least one active material which takes the form of coated microcrystals or microgranules and a mixture of excipients in the form of grains. The aforementioned mixture of excipients has the following composition: between 60 and 85% of a diluent; between 3 and 20% of a decomposing agent; between 1 and 8% of a sweetening agent; between 0 and 5% of a gliding agent; between 0 and 10% of a binder; and between 0 and 10% of a permeabilising agent, a swelling agent and/or a lubricant. The above-mentioned percentages are weight percentages in relation to the total weight of the grains of the excipients.

Abstract: The present invention deals with a multiparticulate tablet, which disintegrates in the mouth containing: i) a proton pump inhibiting agent, in particular of the benzimidazole type, in the form of enteric coated microgranules, which enteric coated granules are overcoated with at least one barrier coating, such as for instance a methacrylic copolymer-based protective film; ii) at least one antacid in the form of granules, for instance based on CaCO3 and/or Mg(OH)2 and/or Al(OH)3; and, iii) a mixture of excipients comprising at least one disintegrating agent, one diluent agent, a lubricant, and optionally a swelling agent, a permeabilising agent, sweeteners, flavourings and colours. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to processes for the manufacture of the tablet and its use in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drinkable ibuprofen solution wherein the soluble fraction of the active ingredient contained therein is less than 10% by weight in relation to the weight of the suspension.
