Abstract:
Modified release formulations of HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors, which provide reduced incidence of rhabdomyolysis, renal toxicity and other side effects by increasing hepatic bioavailability and decreasing systemic availability upon oral administration. The modified release pharmaceutical formulation comprises a therapeutically effective amount of HMG CoA reductase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s), polymorph(s), solvate(s), hydrate(s), prodrug or metabolite thereof, one or more release modifying agent(s) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s), wherein the modified release formulation provides reduced incidence of adverse effects and improved efficacy when compared to the immediate release formulation upon oral administration.
Abstract:
A stable, taste-masked, ready-to-use suspension comprising rifaximin dispersed in a suspension base and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additive(s). Also provided is a process for preparing a stable, taste-masked, ready-to-use suspension of rifaximin comprising the steps of mixing rifaximin with the suspension base and further sizing the particles of rifaximin by milling the suspension to obtain a homogenously dispersed rifaximin suspension.
Abstract:
A novel pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of active principle(s) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or enantiomer or polymorph thereof, optionally one or more release controlling agent(s) and pharmaceutical acceptable excipient(s) thereof, wherein the composition is formulated to increase the residence time of the said pharmaceutical composition and/or active principle(s) in the gastrointestinal tract. A novel pharmaceutical composition comprising at least two entities wherein one entity is an immediate release/fast release and the other is controlled release. A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least two entities wherein one entity is an immediate release/fast release and the other is bioadhesive. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: at least two entities wherein one entity is controlled release and the other is bioadhesive All the three compositions are formulated to increase the residence time of active principle(s) in the gastrointestinal tract. A multilayered composition with active in a layer which provides immediate release or controlled release of active principles and layer providing increased residence time in the GI tract.
Abstract:
A controlled release pharmaceutical compositions comprising Milnacipran or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof is provided. The pharmaceutical composition comprises an immediate release core comprising Milnacipran or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and a coating on the immediate release core comprising rate controlling agents.
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:
A solid dispersion of rifaximin comprising rifaximin and pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the solid dispersion of rifaximin.
Abstract:
A taste masked pharmaceutical composition of clindamycin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s), hydrate(s), solvate(s) and physiologically functional derivative(s) and precursors thereof, which includes all polymorphic forms, whether crystalline or amorphous comprising polyhydric alcohol(s); and one or more other pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s). A process for preparation of a taste masked pharmaceutical composition of clindamycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s) thereof the said process comprising the steps of a) dry mixing clindamycin, polyhydric alcohol and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s) to get a dry mixture; b) granulating the dry mixture above with a granulating liquid prepared by mixing the suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s) with aqueous/non-aqueous fluid to obtain a wet mass; c) drying the wet mass to obtain the discrete particles; d) lubricating the discrete particles obtained with a suitable lubricating agent and/or flavor(s).
