Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA61K 009/58A61K 009/60 Foreign Application Priority Data1984-10-30 IEAbstractA controlled release powder containing discrete micro-particles for use in edible, pharmaceutical and other controlled release compositions is disclosed. The micro-particles have an average size in the range of from 0.1 to 125 μm. Each of the micro-particles is in the form of a micromatrix of an active ingredient uniformly distributed in at least one non-toxic polymer. The micro-particles have a predetermined release of active ingredient when the dissolution rate thereof is measured according to the Paddle Method of U.S. Pharmacopoeia XX at 37° C. and 75 r.p.m.Field of SearchNatural or synthetic resinSynthetic polymer Acrylic acid and derivatives Polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, etc.) Contains solid synthetic resin Contains waxes, higher fatty acids, higher fatty alcohols Containing solid synthetic polymers CONTAINING DESIGNATED INGREDIENT TO REDUCE NOXIOUS EFFECTS OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT (E.G., TASTE MASKING, ODOR REDUCING, ETC.) | |
