An oral amphetamine extended release solid dose is described. The compositions contain a combination of an uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex, a barrier coated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex-matrix, and an uncomplexed amphetamine, wherein one or more of these components contains blends of different forms of amphetamines. Either the modified release coated and/or the uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex may have two forms of amphetamine in a complex with a single cation exchange resin. Following administration of a single dose of the composition, a therapeutically effective amount of amphetamine is reached by about one hour and the composition provides at least a thirteen hour effect post-dose.

Extended release amphetamine tablets

An oral amphetamine extended release liquid suspension is described. The compositions contain a combination of an uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex, a barrier coated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex-matrix, and an uncomplexed amphetamine, wherein one or more of these components contains blends of different forms of amphetamines. Either the modified release coated and/or the uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex may have two forms of amphetamine in a complex with a single cation exchange resin. Following administration of a single dose of the composition, a therapeutically effective amount of amphetamine is reached by about one hour and the composition provides at least a thirteen hour effect post-dose.

Extended release amphetamine compositions

An oral amphetamine extended release solid dose is described. The compositions contain a combination of an uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex, a barrier coated amphetamine&#x2014;cation exchange resin complex&#x2014;matrix, and an uncomplexed amphetamine, wherein one or more of these components contains blends of different forms of amphetamines. Either the modified release coated and/or the uncoated amphetamine&#x2014;cation exchange resin complex may have two forms of amphetamine in a complex with a single cation exchange resin. Following administration of a single dose of the composition, a therapeutically effective amount of amphetamine is reached by about one hour and the composition provides at least a thirteen hour effect post-dose.

An aqueous liquid suspension containing a coated drug-ion exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of an amphetamine complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin and an uncoated amphetamine-ion exchange resin complex is provided. The coated amphetamine-ion exchange resin complex is in admixture with a polymer to form a matrix. Methods of making the coated complex and the liquid suspension are described.

Modified release formulations containing drug-ion exchange resin complexes

A particulate, modified release barrier coated drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of a drug complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin is provided. Methods of making and products containing this coated complex are described.

A particulate, pH-independent, modified release barrier coated drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of a drug complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin is provided. Methods of making and products containing this coated complex are described.

Modified release formulations containing drug - ion exchange resin complexes

A particulate, barrier coated drug-anion exchange resin complex comprising a core composed of an acidic drug complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin is provided. The barrier coating contains a polyvinyl acetate polymer and a plasticizer. Methods of making and products containing this coated complex are described.

Modified release formulations containing drug&#x2014;ion exchange resin complexes

A tablet comprising a coated drug-ion exchange resin complex composed of methylphenidate complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin and an uncoated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex is provided. The coated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex is in admixture with a polymer to form a matrix. Also provided is a tablet comprising a coated drug-ion exchange resin complex composed of dexmethylphenidate complexed with a pharmaceutically acceptable ion-exchange resin and an uncoated dexmethylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex is provided. The coated dexmethylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex is in admixture with a polymer to form a matrix.

An oral methylphenidate powder which is reconstitutable into a final oral aqueous sustained release formulation containing at least about 50%, or at least about 80% by weight water based on the total weight of the suspension, is provided. The powder is a blend containing a combination of an uncoated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex, a barrier coated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex-matrix, and a water soluble buffering agent such that upon formed into an aqueous liquid formulation, the formulation has a pH in the range of about 3.5 to about 5, or about 4 to about 4.5. Following administration of a single dose of the oral aqueous methylphenidate suspension, a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate is reached in less than one hour and the composition provides a twelve-hour extended release profile.
