Abstract:
The present invention relates to stable once daily sustained release pharmaceutical compositions comprising pregabalin or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient wherein pharmaceutical composition is bioequivalent to conventional immediate release formulation of pregabalin administered twice daily. The present invention further relates to a composition comprising pregabalin and sugar esters as release retarding agent for maintaining uniform release rate of the drug and process for the preparation of such oral sustained release formulations.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a modified release dosage form of tacrolimus that releases two or more amount of tacrolimus upon oral administration, the first amount of tacrolimus releases from the immediate release dosage unit substantially immediately within 0-2 hours followed by a time interval ranging from about 1-10 hours during which substantially no amount of tacrolimus is released from the dosage form, after which a second amount of tacrolimus is released wherein said second amount is released from the delayed release dosage unit either immediately e.g. within 0-2 hours or over a period of time ranging from about 2-12 hours from its initial release from the delayed release dosage unit. The dosage form may further comprise additional amount of tacrolimus to provide additional pulse of tacrolimus. The dosage forms of tacrolimus exhibit improved bioavailability and reduced flux or fluctuation over existing composition of tacrolimus. A method of preparing the dosage forms is also described.
Abstract:
The invention refers to an oral bicalutamide-containing formulation with a modified release pattern. The composition is suitable for being administered in a twice-a-week, twice-a-week and once-a-week dosing schedule. The composition is used for producing an anti-androgenic effect.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a system for spatially and temporally programmable delivery of an active agent. When administered orally, the System can be retained in the gastric region for a prolonged period of time. It comprises of a core (I), one or more layers (II, IV, V) coated over the core and a preformed hollow space (III). The invention also concerns with a process for preparation of the System and a method for treating/preventing diseases, by administering to a subject in need thereof, the System of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses compositions having particles comprising, inorganic element; one or more active ingredient and optionally a release rate modulating agent, suitable for the delivery of active ingredients to human and animal tissues. The particles are nanoparticles or microparticles or mixtures thereof, made preferably by sol-gel method. The compositions are useful for application to the topical or mucosal surfaces preferably in the form of creams, gels, lotions, dry powders, spray, foam and other suitable forms.
Abstract:
This invention describes a post-recognition procedure to group text recognized by an Optical Character Reader (OCR) from a document image into zones. Once the recognized text and the corresponding word bounding boxes for each word of the text are received, the procedure described dilates (expands) these word bounding boxes by a factor and records those which cross. Two word bounding boxes will cross upon dilation if the corresponding words are very close to each other on the original document. The text is then grouped into zones using the rule that two words will belong to the same zone if their word bounding boxes cross upon dilation. The text zones thus identified are sorted and returned.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to liquid oral pharmaceutical compositions of lanthanum and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The present invention further relates to preparation of liquid oral pharmaceutical compositions of lanthanum and its salts and also provides use of such compositions in treating hyperphosphatemia in patients.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an oral film having reduced adherence to oral cavity comprising water-soluble polymer as an essential polymer base in combination with film former, wherein the ratio of water-soluble polymer to the film former is about 25: 1 to about 250: 1 that is suitable for delivering drugs from various pharmacological categories ranging from conventional small molecules to proteins or peptides. In particular the invention relates to oral films which are bioequivalent to conventional immediate release oral dosage forms and exhibiting one or more favorable properties such as fast dissolution time, improved drug loading, improved mechanical properties (burst strength, tensile strength, modules of elongation).
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the premix pharmaceutical formulation comprising anhydrous lanthanum carbonate. The present invention further relates to a stable pharmaceutical formulation comprising a therapeutically effective amount of anhydrous lanthanum carbonate and pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or excipients, with the proviso that the said formulation is substantially free of monosaccharides or disaccharides. Further the said formulation is substantially free of amino acids and/or stabilizers. The process of preparing such formulations is also described.
