Abstract: Described are injectable formulations of nanoparticulate olanzapine that produce a prolonged duration of action upon administration, and methods of making and using such formulations. The injectable formulations comprise nanoparticulate olanzapine.

Abstract: A once daily controlled-release pharmaceutical formulation which contains therapeutic amounts of topiramate and which is capable of being administered to specific regions along the gastrointestinal tract used to treat various types of conditions, for example, partial seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, seizures associated with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome, migraines, and obesity.

Abstract: An abuse-resistant controlled release pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of discrete particles of an active capable of abuse, wherein surfaces of said particles are wetted with a water insoluble coating material, and preferably wherein said composition comprises a matrix, in which said particles are distributed, and which renders the abuse-capable compound within the matrix difficult to separate from the matrix; and a method for the preparation of a controlled release pharmaceutical composition having a reduced potential for abuse, comprising applying a pressure force to a mixture comprising a water insoluble material, and particles of a pharmaceutically active compound capable of inducing in a subject a reaction that is physiologically or psychologically detrimental if administered in an immediate release dosage form, thereby resulting in surface coated particles, and incorporating said surface coated particles into a pharmaceutical composition

Abstract: The present invention is directed to nanoparticulate compositions comprising griseofulvin. The griseofulvin particles of the composition preferably have an effective average particle size of less than about 2 microns.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition and an oral dosage form are disclosed comprising an opiate and an irritant. A method is also described for discouraging abuse of an opiate comprising combining a therapeutically effective amount of an opiate and an irritant into an oral dosage form. A method is also described for treating pain by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an opiate and an irritant in an oral dosage form.

Abstract: Nanoparticulate crystalline x-ray contrast agents are formulated with stabilizers to enhance contact between the crystalline x-ray contrast agents and the gastrointestinal tract.Nanoparticulate crystalline therapeutic substances also formulated with stabilizers to enhance contact between the crystalline therapeutic substances and the gastrointestinal tract and to provide extended therapeutic effect.

Abstract: Disclosed are x-ray contrast compositions for oral or retrograde examination of the gastrointestinal tract comprising nanoparticles of a barium salt having associated with its surface non-ionic and anionic stabilizers; and methods for their use in diagnostic radiology of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: Nanoparticulate crystalline therapeutic substances formulated with stabilizers and pharmaceutically acceptable clays to enhance contact between the crystalline therapeutic substances and the gastrointestinal tract and to provide extended therapeutic effect.

Abstract: Nanoparticulate crystalline therapeutic or diagnostic substances formulated with stabilizers and high molecular weight, linear poly(ethylene oxide) polymers, enhance contact between the crystalline therapeutic or diagnostic substances and the gastrointestinal tract providing site-specific and extended therapeutic or diagnostic effect.

Abstract: Nanoparticulate crystalline substances formulated with stabilizers and pharmaceutically acceptable clays to enhance contact between the crystalline substances and the gastrointestinal tract. These formulations have improved safety profiles, a low potential for absorption, are not viscous and are not contraindicated for GI perforations or intestinal obstructions. The properties of the surfactant stabilizers are independent of the crystalline drug used and largely determine the extent to which the formulation coats the GI tract.
