  • Patent number: 6814979
    Abstract: Disclosed is an osmotic pharmaceutical delivery system comprising (a) a semi-permeable wall that maintains its integrity during pharmaceutical delivery and which has at least one passage therethrough; (b) a single, homogeneous composition within said wall, which composition consists essentially of (i) a pharmaceutically active agent, (ii) at least one non-swelling solubilizing agent which enhances the solubility of the pharmaceutically active agent; (iii) at least one non-swelling osmotic agent and (iv) a non-swelling wicking agent dispersed throughout the composition which enhances the surface area contact of the pharmaceutical agent with the incoming aqueous fluid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2004
    Assignee: Shire Laboratories, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6110498
    Abstract: An osmotic drug delivery system, preferably in tablet form, which dispenses a therapeutic agent having limited water solubility in solubilized form. The delivery system comprises a core that is free of swellable polymers and comprises nonswelling solubilizing agents and wicking agents. The solubilized therapeutic agent is delivered through a passageway in the semipermeable coating of the tablet.
