Abstract: A process for treating a bacterial infection with an antibiotic, comprising: administering to a patient with a bacterial infection a product that includes a modified release dosage form containing an antibiotic, said product being administered once-a-day in a dosage and for a number of days that provides a Total T>MIC sufficient to achieve at least the minimum amount of bacterial eradication for treatment of said bacterial infection.

Abstract: Disclosed are once-a-day penicillin-type antibiotic products comprising at least one modified release dosage form comprising penicillin-type antibiotics and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, which compositions provide T>MIC90 in the serum for at least 5 hours (preferably for at least five consecutive hours), within a 24-hour dosing interval, for a given bacterial pathogen's MIC90, while providing a total dosage of the penicillin-type antibiotic for a 24-hour dosing interval.

Abstract: A punch and die set include a die with a single large cavity which can receive dry particles of relatively large dimensions or large arching indexes as compared to the transverse dimensions of the tablets formed by the particles, e.g., 1.5 mm diameter and 1 mm height. The upper and lower punches are configured to form an array of interconnected tablets. The punch and dies compress the particles in the die cavity into the array. The tablets are interconnected by an array of links formed by tangential regions of adjacent cylindrical tablets or by links or bridges of finite length, width and thickness dimensions as defined by the punch configurations. The tablets of the arrays are separated by forces created by vibratory or tumbling action. Various embodiments of different shaped tablets and mating punch and die sets are disclosed.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition of a pharmaceutically acceptable trospium salt, with upon administration to a human patient generates an average steady state blood levels of trospium with a minimum (Cmin) and maximum (Cmax) blood levels of about 0.5-2.5 ng/ml and about 2.0-6.0 ng/ml, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed are products and methods for improving the plasma profile in a patient being treated with a pharmaceutical active agent that is subject to a limited window of absorption, which products and methods comprise orally administering the active agent in multiparticulate form, such that at least a portion thereof is delivered to the intestine while the patient is in the fed condition.

Abstract: An antibiotic product is comprised of at least three dosage forms, each of which has a different release profile, with the Cmax for the antibiotic product being reached in less than about twelve hours after the initial release of antibiotic. In one embodiment, there are two delayed release dosage forms, as well as a delayed sustained release dosage form, with each of the dosage forms having a different release profile, wherein each reaches a Cmax at different times.
