[0087]The clonidine—resin complex matrix was prepared by first adding 80 L of purified water into a vessel and dissolving clonidine HCl therein by continuous mixing. A sodium polystyrene sulfonate ion exchange resin (AMBERLITE™ IRP-69) was dispersed with continuous mixing to form a slurry and the mixing was continued for 60 minutes to permit formation of a clonidine—ion exchange resin complex. Water from the slurry was removed by filtration. The wet resin complex was rinsed twice using purified water and then dried until the moisture content was about 10% to abo...

Abstract

An oral clonidine dosage unit providing a twenty-four hour extended release profile following a single dose administration is provided. The dosage unit comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of a coated complex comprising clonidine bound to a cationic exchange resin, which is characterized by a twenty-four hour release profile with a single peak, wherein said oral clonidine dosage unit provides a therapeutically effective plasma concentration for at least about 70%, or at least 85% of the twenty-four hour period following the single dose administration. Both liquid and solid formulations are provided, as are methods of treating a patient by a single administration of a formulation of the invention so as to achieve a therapeutic effect for 24-hours.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 908,796, filed Oct. 20, 2010, now pending. This application is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to formulations containing clonidine, and more specifically, to a formulation providing a twenty-four hour release profile in a single daily dosage unit.[0003]Clonidine (known chemically as N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine) is characterized by the structure:The pharmaceutical product containing the hydrochloride salt of clonidine is commercially available as Catapres® (USP from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, clonidine hydrochloride or 2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-2-imidazoline hydrochloride, MW 266.56). Catapres® is a centrally acting alpha-agonist hypotensive agent available in tablet form for oral administration in three dosage strengths: 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg and 0.3 mg. The 0.1 mg t...
