MULTI-PHASE PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS OF POOR WATER-SOLUBLE DRUGS FOR REDUCED FEEDING / FASTING VARIABILITY AND ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY

摘要

Pharmaceutical formulations are disclosed comprising a multi-phasic pharmaceutical composition comprising an active pharmaceutical ingredient, wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient is in a particulate state, a solubilized state, or in both a particulate state and in a solubilized state; a solvent; a non-miscible liquid; a stabilizer, and water; wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is an oral dosage form. Such pharmaceutical formulations are capable of reducing the fed/fast variability and improving oral bioavailability to which a number of active pharmaceutical ingredients are susceptible. The pharmaceutical formulations of the invention, therefore are bioequivalent in fed and fasted states and improved oral bioavailability.
