Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a novel solid oral dosage form that contains a low dose active ingredient in immediate release form and a high dose, high solubility active ingredient in modified release form. The weight ratio of the two active ingredients is from 1:5 to 1:5000. The dosage form has a small size, is convenient for swallowing, and prevents separation of layers. The invention also provides a method for treating animals and humans with the dosage form. The technical effects of the invention include effective control of the release rate of the modified release active ingredient, use of small quantity of release controlling agents, and use of hydrophobic release controlling agents.

Problems solved by technology

There are several reasons to do this, namely, the disease itself is progressive, with deterioration of glycemic control over time; mono-therapeutic attempts to achieve and maintain glycemic control often fail in the long run; multiple defects in the disease and consequently primary drug failures (1, 2, 3).
However, because of the disparity in the duration of action (half-life), these combinations are given twice or thrice a day.
The techniques described above do not work well when the difference in the dose of active ingredients are high for example where the weight ratio of active ingredients in immediate release and modified release is from 1:10 to 1:15000 and the dose of modified release active ingredient per unit is from 500 mg to 1500 mg.
The techniques described in the prior art do not give good results when the active ingredient is highly soluble.
The weight of the dosage form becomes very high, or complicated process for manufacturing is required, or accurate dosing of low dose active ingredient is difficult when the techniques reported in the prior art are utilized to make formulation with high dose, high solubility active ingredient in the form of modified release and small dose active ingredient into immediate release form where the weight ratio of immediate release active ingredient and modified release active ingredient is from 1:10 to 1:15000 and the weight of modified release active ingredient per unit is from 500 mg to 1500 mg and also it is inconvenient to swallow due to large size.
