Abstract:
The present invention provides a formulation of fenofibrate with enhanced oral bioavailability, simplicity of design and manufacture and absence of food effect. The formulation comprises fenofibrate dissolved in a lipophilic surfactant, with a hydrophilic surfactant optionally added. The formulation can be effectively used in the management and treatment of conditions such as hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia, and can also be effective at lower doses as compared to commercially available products. The invention additionally relates to the process of manufacture of the formulation and to dosage forms comprising the same.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising micronized bupropion having controlled particle size in the range between 1-60 μm. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises micronized bupropion having median particle size less than 40 micron, which exhibits outstanding bioavailability via nasal and pulmonary route even without any need for blending the micronized bupropion with large carrier particles. The composition of the present invention comprises micronized bupropion -and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, surfactants, a dispersing agents, or dispersants, which can be administered in an aerosol formulation as a dry powder for nasal and pulmonary inhalation. Particularly, the composition of the present invention for nasal delivery comprises bioadhesive microparticles of bupropion and carbohydrates like pullulan to prevent and treat diseases such as depression, premenstrual syndrome, premature ejaculation and as an aid to smoking cessation. The invention also provides a process of preparing the compositions of the present invention.
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 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:
The invention provides a method and a composition for producing an anti-androgenic effect in a mammal. The method comprises administering a modified release pharmaceutical composition of bicalutamide to a mammal, with a reduced dosing frequency, for improved patient convenience and compliance. The composition of the invention also provides for a higher bioavailability and improved pharmacokinetic profile as compared to a conventional bicalutamide composition.
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, one or more layers coated over the core and a preformed hollow space. 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 invention describes a modified release oral dosage form of desmopressin which upon administration releases two or more amounts of desmopressin. The dosage form comprises of individual dosage units, such as an immediate release dosage unit and one or more delayed release dosage units, each comprising of a suitable amount of desmopressin, released after a predetermined time interval. The dosage form of the invention provides a release profile, adapted such that the dosage form exhibits improved efficacy for a prolonged duration of action and provides for an overall superior management of antidiuretic therapy. The invention also provides for method of manufacture of the dosage form of the invention and also method of treatment of diseases such as diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis, nocturia and urinary incontinence in a mammal in need of such treatment.
