Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0113898A2] The application discloses novel pharmaceutical formulations adapted for delaying the release of a pharmaceutically active agent. A delayed-release drug formulation encapsulates the active ingredient, which may be applied to microparticles or in tableted form, in a release-delaying coat comprising polymeric materials of predetermined swelling/permeability characteristics. In particular, acrylate and/or acrylic acid polymer blends modified with ionic groups may be used. One preferred embodiment uses a polymer of pH dependent permeability as a more permeable element of the coat. The delayed-release formulations are deployed in a single dosage form together with instant release or sustained release formulations, so that a unit dosage form, preferably an oral dosage form, can effectively administer two doses to a patient at different times.
