  • Patent number: 9119793
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dosage forms, e.g., swell, float and bioadhesive, and methods that enhance the absorption of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. The oral dosage forms control the spatial and temporal delivery of doxycycline in the gastrointestinal tract. This controlled spatial and temporal delivery provides a site and rate of release, respectively, of the doxycycline into the gastrointestinal tract that enhances the amount of the doxycycline absorbed into the bloodstream.

  • Publication number: 20100215744
    Abstract: A method of producing a batch of a tetracycline-class component HPMC extended release pharmaceutical product having a desired dissolution profile, comprising: selecting a dissolution rate-controlling polymer comprising an HPMC component, the HPMC component having a selected % HP value; validating that the % HP in the selected HPMC component is such that a mean sample of the product complies with the desired dissolution profile over each time point in the dissolution profile, and preparing the product by preparing a formulation comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of the tetracycline-class chemical and the selected HPMC component with the % HP value. There is also provided a method of predicting the dissolution rate profile over a number of dosage forms.
