Abstract: The invention provides a 3,11b-cis-dihydrotetrabenazine of the formula (Ib): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of anxiety.

Abstract: This application describes method of treating dementia and cognitive deficits associated with dementia that involve administration of dihydrotetrabenazine, and isomers and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a pharmaceutical composition that includes tetrabenazine and a release-retarding agent; and a method of treating a hyperkinetic movement disorder (e.g., Huntington's disease, chorea associated with Huntington's disease, hemiballismus, senile chorea, tic disorders, tardive dyskinesia, myoclonus, dystonia and/or Tourette's syndrome). The method includes administering an effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition, for a period of time effective to treat the hyperkinetic movement disorder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a tablet core comprising a combination of actives selected from the group consisting of bupropion hydrochloride and escitalopram oxalate, bupropion hydrobromide and citalopram hydrochloride, bupropion hydrobromide and escitalopram oxalate, and bupropion hydrobromide and quetiapine fu-marate, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and a control-releasing coat surrounding the tablet core, wherein said composition surprisingly provides for a synchronous release of the combination of active agents in-vitro. The once-daily pharmaceutical composition surprisingly also provides for enhanced absorption of bupropion hydrobromide when administered to a subject in need of such administration.

Abstract: The invention provides a compound for use in treating multiple sclerosis wherein the compound is a 3, 11b-cis-dihydrotetrabenazine of the formula (Ia): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions, formulations and medicaments comprising a bupropion salt, in particular, modified-release tablets comprising an effective amount of bupropion hydrobromide, and the use of the bupropion salt to prepare a medicament to treat a condition.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition useful for making oral dosage forms capable of dissolving in the mouth in less than 40 seconds without the need for a conventional super disintegrant and having a friability of less than 1%; wherein the composition includes liquiflash particles and an excipient mass. A preferred excipient mass according to the invention contains a directly compressible inorganic salt; a cellulose derivative or a combination of a directly compressible inorganic salt and a cellulose derivative. Preferably, the liquiflash particles and the excipient mass are combined in proportions such that the active ingredient remains substantially within the microspheres when the composition is compressed to obtain a dosage form having a hardness of 20 to 50 N. The compositions of the invention allow for the fabrication of oral dosages having improved hardness and friability.

Abstract: Bupropion hydrobromide formulations as well as their use for the treatment of conditions is described.
