In one aspect, the present invention features a process for making a tablet including a pharmaceutically active agent wherein the tablet has both an immediate release region and a modified release region. The method includes the steps of: (a) forming a tablet shape including a powder blend containing a pharmaceutically active agent and a thermally-sensitive material; and (b) applying energy in different amounts to different regions of the tablet shape to form the tablet in a manner such that: (i) a first region of the tablet shape is exposed to said energy for a sufficient period of time to melt the thermally-sensitive material within the first region to form said modified release region of said tablet; and (ii) a second region of said tablet shape is not so exposed to the energy such that said second region forms the immediate release region of said tablet.
摘要:
A composition comprising a high molecular weight, water soluble polymer having a cloud point from about 20 to about 90° C. and at least one carrageenan is provided. The composition may be used as a component of a pharmaceutical dosage form, such as the shell of a dosage form, to provide burst release of active ingredient contained therein.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to liquid coating compositions and dosage forms having a continuous shell portion of a first composition and at least one discontinuous shell portion that is compositionally different located within the continuous shell portion. The present invention also provides a process for preparing a dosage form, which comprises coating a core with a continuous shell portion having a first composition and at least one discontinuous shell portion that is compositionally different located within the continuous portion, and then cooling the coated core. The coating compositions are particularly suited for forming shell coatings on solid pharmaceutical dosage forms.

A free-flowing savory flavor granule which comprises a core composition comprising a nonsweet carbohydrate and a coating on the core comprising savory flavor.
摘要:
The present invention is a process for purifying polydextrose to remove manufacturing contaminants such as glucose, sorbitol, citric acid, oligomers, 1,6-anhydroglucose, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and other low molecular weight constituents by reverse osmosis wherein an aqueous solution of polydextrose is filtered by pressing it tangentially over a porous membrane at high pressure. This invention process produces a purified polydextrose with the 1,6-anhydroglucose content therein reduced to less than about 0.2% (W/W) and a reduction in the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content to below detectable levels or loss than about 0.01% (W/W), thereby virtually eliminating any bitter taste or musty off-flavor.
摘要:
The present invention features the present invention features a tablet including at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, wherein the shape of said tablet includes at least one major face wherein: (i) the peak penetration resistance at the perimeter of said major face of the tablet is at least about 10% greater than the peak penetration resistance at the center of said major face; and (ii) the tablet disintegrates in the mouth when placed on the tongue in less than about 30 seconds, and a machine and method for manufacture of such tablet.
摘要:
The present invention features a process for making a lozenge product including the steps of forming a powder blend containing an amorphous carbohydrate polymer into the desired shape of the lozenge product and applying radiofrequency energy to the shape for a sufficient period of time to soften or melt said amorphous carbohydrate polymer to fuse the shape into said lozenge product.
摘要:
The present invention features the present invention features a process for making a tablet by compacting a powder blend in a die platen to form a tablet shape, wherein the powder blend includes a pharmaceutically active agent and a water-containing material, and applying energy to the tablet shape for a sufficient period of time to heat the water-containing material within the tablet shape above its dehydration temperature to form the tablet.
