Direct compression metformin hydrochloride tablets

Metformin Hydrochloride (herein referred to as metformin HCl) that may be 98.5%-100% pure is a high dose drug capable of being directly compressed with specific excipients into tablets having desired, hardness, disintegrating ability, and acceptable dissolution characteristics. Metformin HCl is not inherently compressible and thus presents formulation problems. Excipients used in the formulation enhance the flow and compaction properties of the drug and tableting mix. Optimal flow contributes to uniform die fill and weight control. The binder used ensures sufficient cohesive properties that allow metformin HCl to be compressed using the direct compression method. The tablets produced provide an acceptable in-vitro dissolution profile.

Stable pharmaceutical composition of immediate-release glimepiride and extended-release metformin

This invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a tablet with improved stability, as well as the process for obtaining said composition. The tablet of the present invention comprises two active ingredients comprising two oral hypoglycemic agents: one phase with a sulphonylurea, such as immediate release Glimepiride, and a second phase with a biguanide, such as extended-release Metformin hydrochloride (Metformin HCl). The biphasic tablet, which can include over 500 mg of Metformin HCl (i.e. up to 1,000 or 1,500 mg, depending on the daily requirements of each patient), is to be orally administered once or twice a day. The combination of these hypoglycemic agents has a synergic effect and therefore a greater effectiveness in controlling the blood glucose level in patients with diabetes mellitus, type 2.

Metformin glycinate salt for blood glucose control

The present invention relates to metformin glycinate salt and pharmaceutical compositions thereof for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The method includes administration of the metformin glycinate salt by various routes selected from oral, intravenous injectable, intramuscular injectable, nasal, intraperitoneal, or sublingual, in order to achieve a reduction in blood glucose levels. The invention further relates to the synthesis of a new 1,1-dimethylbiguanide glycinate salt, called Metformin Glycinate. The resulting salt exhibits advantages over other metformin salts. These advantages are due, in the first place, to the fact that the glycine counterion exhibits hypoglycemic effects by itself. Moreover, the salt exhibits more rapid absorption, reaching higher plasma concentrations than those produced with metformin hydrochloride.
