Abstract: A multilayered tablet having three or more layers is provided which is useful for cholesterol lowering and reducing the risk of a myocardial infarction, which includes a first layer containing aspirin, another layer containing pravastatin, and a middle barrier layer, which preferably contains a buffering agent, which separates the first layer containing aspirin from the other layer containing pravastatin, and prevents or minimizes interaction of aspirin with pravastatin. A method for lowering cholesterol and reducing risk of a myocardial infarction employing such composition is also provided.

Abstract: A biphasic controlled release delivery system for pharmaceuticals which have high water solubility, such as the antidiabetic metformin HCl salt, is provided which provides a dosage form that has prolonged gastric residence so that a dosing regimen of at least one gram metformin, once daily, may be achieved while providing effective control of plasma glucose.

Abstract: Extended-release nefazodone compositions containing nefazodone hydrochloride, ionic and non-ionic gelling polymers, an insoluble hydrophilic agent, and optional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients demonstrate pH-modulated release of nefazodone. These compositions are formulated into unit dosage forms for improved oral administration. The improvements comprise an extended drug release profile providing comparative levels of nefazodone with respect to immediate release dosage forms and, additionally, demonstrating the lack of a food effect.

Abstract: Novel salts of the antidiabetic agent metformin acre provided which are metformin salts of dibasic acids (2:1 molar ratio), preferably metformin (2:1) fumarate and metformin (2:1) succinate, which may be employed alone or in combination with another antihyperglycemic agent such as glyburide, for treating diabetes. A method for treating diabetes employing the novel metformin salt by itself or in combination with another antidiabetic agent is also provided.

Abstract: A buoyant controlled release pharmaceutical powder formulation is provided which may be filled into capsules and releases a pharmaceutical of a basic character at a controlled rate regardless of the pH of the environment, which formulation includes a basic pharmaceutical, up to about 45% by weight of a pH dependent polymer which is a salt of alginic acid, such as sodium alginate, up to about 35% by weight of a pH-independent hydrocarbon gelling agent having a viscosity of up to about 100,000 centipoises in 2% solution at 20.degree. C. and excipients.
