In one embodiment, the solid pharmaceutical composition includes a solid carrier, the solid carrier including a substrate and an encapsulation coat on the substrate. The encapsulation coat can include different combinations of pharmaceutical active ingredients, hydrophilic surfactant, lipophilic surfactants and triglycerides. In another embodiment, the solid pharmaceutical composition includes a solid carrier, the solid carrier being formed of different combinations of pharmaceutical active ingredients, hydrophilic surfactants, lipophilic surfactants and triglycerides. The compositions of the present invention can be used for improved delivery of hydrophilic or hydrophobic pharmaceutical active ingredients, such as drugs, nutrionals, cosmeceuticals and diagnostic agents.Field of SearchImplant or insertDepot, pellet, matrix, or suppository Anal, rectal (e.g., suppositories, etc.) Mouth Candy, candy coated or chewing gum Capsules (e.g., of gelatin, of chocolate, etc.) With claimed designated perfecting feature in contents (e.g., excipient, lubricant, etc.) Tablets, lozenges, or pills With claimed perfecting feature in contents (e.g., excipient, lubricant, etc.) Containing solid synthetic polymers Particulate form (e.g., powders, granules, beads, microcapsules, and pellets) Coated (e.g., microcapsules) Cellulose or derivative Coated capsules Where particles are granulated Containing solid synthetic polymers Containing waxes, higher fatty acids, higher fatty alcohols, or derivatives thereof Containing waxes, higher fatty acids, higher fatty alcohols, or derivatives thereof (e.g., chocolate) | |
