摘要:
Dosage forms and methods for the controlled release of oxycodone over a prolonged period of time are described. The sustained release dosage forms provide therapeutically effective average steady-state plasma oxycodone concentrations when administered once per day. This once-a-day dosing regimen results in only one peak plasma oxycodone concentration occurrence in each 24 hour period that occurs at a later time after administration and exhibits a lesser magnitude than the peak plasma oxycodone concentration that occurs following administration of oxycodone in an immediate-release dosage form and other prior art extended release dosage forms.
摘要:
Disclosed are dosage forms and methods for sustained release of a drug including : a delay layer comprising a polymeric matrix, and microencapsulated drug, wherein the delay layer is substantially free of non-microencapsulated drug; and a second layer including a polymeric matrix, and non-microencapsulated drug matrix; wherein the second layer is located adjacent to the delay layer.
摘要:
The present invention includes an expandable osmotic layer and a coating suspension for providing an expandable osmotic layer, both of which are useful for the manufacture of controlled release dosage forms. The expandable osmotic layer of the present invention may be produced using the coating suspension of the present invention. Advantageously, the coating suspension of the present invention can be used to coat expandable osmotic layers under both wet and dry process conditions without sacrificing the quality of the expandable osmotic layers produced, and therefore provides a relatively robust coating suspension that facilitates commercial production of controlled release dosage forms including a coated expandable osmotic layer.

A bilayer and trilayer tablet and a dosage form are disclosed for administering a controlled and increasing dose of drug over time. A method is disclosed also for administering an increasing dose of drug over time.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to maintaining a therapeutic agent comprising a drug in its preferred polymorphic form for providing an indicated therapy. The therapeutic agent is maintained in the polymorphic form by blending a polymer with the therapeutic agent which lessens the conversion of the therapeutic agent from the desired form to a different, undesired form.
摘要:
Oxycodone formulations are provided which produce substantially flat in vivo steady state plasma profiles. Tolerance levels associated with such profiles and tolerance levels associated with biphasic profiles are shown not to be statistically different. The substantially flat in vivo steady state plasma profiles are produced by dosage forms having substantially zero order in vitro release profiles. Such release profiles produce low single dose in vivo Cmax levels which can reduce the probability of adverse side effects.

摘要:
A dosage form is described having a drug core, an inner, fluid-permeable membrane surrounding the drug core, and an outer, semipermeable membrane having exit means formed or formable therein surrounding the inner membrane. The drug core forms a solution with imbibed fluid through the membranes and dissolves the inner membrane over time, thereby furthering the maintenance of controlled, sustained delivery of drug from the dosage form.
