Abstract: Pharmaceutical ophthalmic compositions comprising active ingredient(s) such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) or combinations and processes for making such compositions and the use of these compositions in patient populations including pediatric populations. A process for preparing an ophthalmic composition comprising a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, which comprises a) preparing a slurry comprising a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a surfactant; b) preparing a polymer slurry comprising a polymer and water; c) preparing a solution comprising tonicity and preservative agents; d) mixing the polymer slurry of step b and the solution of step c, to form a vehicle concentrate and adjusting pH; e) adding the slurry of step a, to the vehicle concentrate of step d and mixing to homogenize; f) autoclaving the mixture of step e; g) sizing the mixture of step f, under aseptic condition.

Abstract: A sustained release pharmaceutical composition comprising; a core including memantine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and one or more pharmaceutical acceptable excipients, and a sustained release coating comprising a water insoluble substance and a water soluble substance where the ratio of the water insoluble substance to the water soluble substance is from about 1:0 to about 3:5:1, optionally containing an immediate release coating having memantine where the immediate release coating is applied over the sustained release coating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral controlled release pharmaceutical compositions comprising Bepotastine. The oral controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprises Bepotastine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and at least one release controlling agent. The present invention also provides the use of oral controlled release pharmaceutical compositions of Bepotastine for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and for the treatment of pruritus caused by urticaria.

Abstract: A dry taste masked powder composition comprising a steroid or its salts or derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The taste-masked powder may be used for suspension compositions suitable for use as a liquid suspension for children and elderly patients.

Abstract: An oral controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprising Blonanserin and release controlling agent(s) and optionally pharmaceutically acceptable excipients is provided. The present invention further relates to a controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprising Blonanserin and release controlling agent(s) such that the composition releases not less than about 80% of Blonanserin within 20 hours, when dissolution is carried out in 900 ml, 0.1 N HCl, USP apparatus Type II (Paddle) at 50 rpm for 20 hrs. The controlled release pharmaceutical composition of the invention releases 50% of Blonanserin between about 4 to 14 hours, when dissolution is carried out in 900 ml, 0.1 N HCl, USP apparatus Type II (Paddle) at 50 rpm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to controlled release formulation of dronedarone or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, metabolites, prodrugs or enantiomers thereof and controlled release polymers. The use of controlled release formulations of Dronedarone would improve the bioavailability and the patient compliance with reduction in number of dosages to be taken per day.

Abstract: A once daily controlled release pharmaceutical compositions comprising tapentadol, wherein preferably the mean Tmax of tapentadol is reached after 10 hours of administration of the composition. The composition comprises tapentadol, such that it maintains serum concentration of tapentadol of at least about 20 ng/ml for at least about 17 hours after oral administration of the composition. According to one embodiment the controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprises tapentadol, which is gastroretentive.

Abstract: A slow release pharmaceutical composition comprising iloperidone or its active metabolites and a slow release agent is described. Also disclosed is slow release pharmaceutical composition comprising iloperidone or its active metabolites, wherein the slow release composition is a combination of a controlled release composition and an immediate release composition.
