261 results about "Opioid" patented technology

Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects. Medically they are primarily used for pain relief, including anesthesia. Other medical uses include suppression of diarrhea, replacement therapy for opioid use disorder, reversing opioid overdose, suppressing cough, as well as for executions in the United States. Extremely potent opioids such as carfentanil are only approved for veterinary use. Opioids are also frequently used non-medically for their euphoric effects or to prevent withdrawal.

Sustained release opioid formulations and method of use

The invention combines two different subunits with different release profiles in novel sustained-release oral dosage forms. In particular, the oral dosage forms include a subunit that comprises an opioid analgesic and a sustained-release material, wherein the dissolution rate in-vitro of the subunit, when measured by the standard USP Drug Release test of U.S. Pharmacopeia XXVI (2003) <724>, is less than about 10% within about 6 hours and at least about 60% within about 24 hours; less than about 10% within about 8 hours and at least about 60% within about 24 hours; less than about 10% within about 10 hours and at least about 60% within about 24 hours; or less than about 10% within about 12 hours and at least about 60% within about 24 hours; the dosage form providing a duration of therapeutic effect of about 24 hours.

Morphine controlled release system

InactiveUS20070003617A1Low administration frequencyAffecting extent of drug bioavailabilityBiocideNervous disorderMorphineDissolution
A composition for controlled release of an opioid from a pharmaceutical composition, the method comprises controlling the release of at least one opioid into an aqueous medium by erosion of at least one surface of a pharmaceutical composition comprising I) a matrix composition comprising a) polymer or a mixture of polymers, b) an opioid and, optionally, c) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, and (i) a coating. The matrix composition has a conus-like shape so the surface area exposed to the aqueous medium increases at least during initial erosion of the matrix composition, and the dissolution of the opioid-when tested in a Dissolution Test as described herein with or without application of sinkers-results in a zero order release of at least 80% of the opioid contained in the composition. Such compositions are especially suitable for controlled release of an opioid to obtain a delayed pead concentration and a prolonged therapeutically effective plasma concentration upon oral administration. Once or twice daily administration is possible. The matrix typically comprises PEO and the active substance is typically an opioid such as morphine or a glucuronide thereof.

Topical anesthetic formulation

The topical medicament gel formulation of the present invention includes an anesthetic, an anti-microbial, an oxidant, a nutrient, a diuretic, an opioid, an anti-emetic, an anti-seizure drug, and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), USP in a molecular, as opposed to a salt form, as the active ingredient. Additional constituents illustratively include a skin penetration enhancer and a gelling agent. This invention deals with problems commonly associated with topical application of local medicaments such as: slow onset of action; need for occlusion; and rapid loss of effect due to rapid systemic dispersion. The invention permits enhanced penetration of the medicament and thereby allows for a lesser total dosage of pharmaceutically active ingredient. The use of a lesser total dosage also decreases systemic toxicity.

Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions of opiods and other drugs

Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions have been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. The tamper-resistant compositions retard the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.
