Abstract: Dosage forms and methods for providing a substantially ascending rate of release of paliperidone or risperidone are provided. The sustained release dosage forms provide therapeutically effective average steady-state plasma paliperidone or risperidone concentrations when administered once per day. This once-a-day dosing regimen results in only one peak plasma paliperidone or risperidone concentration occurrence in each 24 hour period. In addition, the peak plasma paliperidone or risperidone concentration occurs at a later time following dose administration and exhibits a lesser magnitude than the peak plasma paliperidone or risperidone concentration that occurs following administration of paliperidone or risperidone in an immediate-release dosage form.

Abstract: Disclosed are dosage forms and methods comprising benzisoxazole derivatives. More particularly, disclosed are dosage forms, methods, and new uses of benzisoxazole derivatives that substantially reduce or substantially eliminate certain side effects of the benzisoxazole derivatives when dosed to a patient.

Abstract: Disclosed are osmotic dosage forms and methods that provide for fast release of drugs together with controlled release of drugs. In an aspect, disclosed are osmotic dosage forms including: a semi-permeable membrane; a lubricating subcoat located within the semi-permeable membrane; an orifice in the semi-permeable membrane located at an end of the semi-permeable membrane; a drug layer located adjacent to the orifice and within the lubricating subcoat; a push layer located within the lubricating subcoat and on a side of the drug layer opposite from the orifice; wherein an area of the orifice is greater than or equal to about 1,600 mil2; and wherein the drug layer comprises from about 20 wt % to about 90 wt % microcrystalline cellulose, and less than or equal to about 10 wt % of a drug, based on the total weight of the drug layer. Also disclosed are methods of making osmotic dosage forms.
