  • Publication number: 20150010629
    Abstract: Controlled release and taste masking compositions containing one or more active principles inglobated in a three-component matrix structure, i.e. a structure formed by successive amphiphilic, lipophilic or inert matrices and finally inglobated or dispersed in hydrophilic matrices. The use of a plurality of systems for the control of the dissolution of the active ingredient modulates the dissolution rate of the active ingredient in aqueous and/or biological fluids, thereby controlling the release kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Publication number: 20140302139
    Abstract: The invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent, a macroscopically homogeneous structure and a gastro-resistant coating. The macroscopically homogeneous structure comprises at least one hydrophilic compound and at least one lipophilic compound and/or at least one amphiphilic compound. The macroscopically homogeneous structure controls the release of the active ingredient, and the gastro-resistant film prevents release of the active agent in the stomach.
