The present invention is directed to a novel flavored extended release composition which forms a non-effervescent suspension when dropped into a liquid, and the methods of using said supplement, thereby minimizing and eliminating gastric discomfort. This flavored extended release composition provides the additional benefits of palatable taste and pleasant appearance.

Mineral supplement

An extended release pharmaceutical formulation adapted to approach zero order release of drug over a 12 to at least 24 hour period, comprised of a mixture of 0 to about 50% of an immediate release particle containing a drug, inert substrate and binder, coated with talc and up to 100% of an extended release particle comprising the immediate release particle coated with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizers and a film forming agent.

Extended release pharmaceutical formulations

A controlled-release organic nitrate formulation for once-per-day oral administration is provided by spheres having a core which includes an organic nitrate, and a membrane surrounding the core composed of a pharmaceutically acceptable, film forming polymer. The film forming polymer is effective to permit release of the organic nitrate from the spheres, over a daily dosing period, at a rate that achieves a therapeutically effective level of the organic nitrate, while effecting a drug holiday towards a latter portion of the daily dosing period so as not to induce tolerance.

Pharmaceutical formulation which does not induce tolerance

An extended release pharmaceutical formulation adapted to approach zero order release of drug over a 12 to at least 24 hour period, comprised of a mixture of 0 to aobut 50% of an immediate release particle containing a drug, inert substrate and binder, coated with talc and up to 100% of an extended release particle comprising the immediate release particle coated with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizers and a film forming agent.
