Estimating the term…
The present invention provides solid pharmaceutical compositions for improved delivery of a wide variety of pharmaceutical active ingredients contained therein or separately administered. 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.
A pharmaceutical composition in the form of a solid carrier comprising a substrate and an encapsulation coat on the substrate, wherein the encapsulation coat comprises an admixture of a therapeutically effective amount of a hydrophobic pharmaceutical active ingredient, an effective solubilizing amount of at least one hydrophilic surfactant, and a lipophilic additive selected from the group consisting of lipophilic surfactants, triglycerides, and combinations thereof, wherein the effective solubilizing amount of the at least one hydrophilic surfactant is an amount effective to partially or fully solubilize the pharmaceutical active ingredient in the encapsulation coat.
A pharmaceutical composition in the form of a solid carrier comprising an admixture of a hydrophobic pharmaceutical active ingredient an effective solubilizing amount of at least one hydrophilic surfactant, and a lipophilic additive selected from the group consisting of lipophilic surfactants, triglycerides, and combinations thereof, wherein the effective solubilizing amount of the at least one hydrophilic surfactant is an amount effective to partially or fully solubilize the pharmaceutical active ingredient in the solid carrier.
