Abstract

This invention relates to an abuse deterrent dosage form of opioid analgesics, wherein an analgesically effective amount of opioid analgesic is combined with a polymer to form a matrix.

Claims (37)

1. A therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including (a) a water soluble drug susceptible to abuse at about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight; (b) gel-forming polymer at about 3 to about 40 percent by weight; (c) a disintegrant at about 2 to 25 percent by weight wherein the disintegrant is selected from the group consisting of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium; and (d) polysorbate 80 at about 1 to 10 percent by weight.

2. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the gel-forming polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.

3. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose has an average molecular weight ranging from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000.

4. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the disintegrant comprises croscarmellose sodium.

5. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , further comprising hydrogenated oil.

6. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dose form.

7. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in suppository, capsule, caplet, pill, gel, soft gelatin capsule, or compressed tablet form.

8. A therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including (a) a water soluble drug susceptible to abuse at about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight; (b) gel-forming polymer at about 3 to about 40 percent by weight; (c) a disintegrant at about 2 to 25 percent by weight wherein the disintegrant is selected from the group consisting of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium; (d) sorbitan monooleate at about 1 to 10 percent by weight; and (e) a lubricant including polyethylene glycol.

9. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the gel-forming polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.

10. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose has an average molecular weight ranging from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000.

11. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the disintegrant comprises croscarmellose sodium.

12. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , further comprising microcrystalline cellulose.

13. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dose form.

14. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in suppository, capsule, caplet, pill, gel, soft gelatin capsule, or compressed tablet form.

15. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , the lubricant further comprising hydrogenated oil.

16. A therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including (a) a water soluble drug susceptible to abuse at about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight; (b) gel-forming polymer at about 3 to about 40 percent by weight; (c) a disintegrant at about 2 to 25 percent by weight wherein the disintegrant is selected from the group consisting of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium; (d) polysorbate 80 at about 1 to 10 percent by weight; and (e) a lubricant including polyethylene glycol.

17. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the gel-forming polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.

18. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 17 , wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose has an average molecular weight ranging from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000.

19. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the disintegrant comprises croscarmellose sodium.

20. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , further comprising microcrystalline cellulose.

21. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dose form.

22. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in suppository, capsule, caplet, pill, gel, soft gelatin capsule, or compressed tablet form.

23. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 16 , the lubricant further comprising hydrogenated oil.

24. A therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including (a) a water soluble drug susceptible to abuse at about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight; (b) gel-forming polymer at about 3 to about 40 percent by weight; (c) a disintegrant at about 2 to 25 percent by weight wherein the disintegrant is selected from the group consisting of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium; (d) sorbitan monooleate at about 1 to 10 percent by weight; and (e) microcrystalline cellulose.

25. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 24 , wherein the gel-forming polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.

26. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 25 , wherein the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose has an average molecular weight ranging from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000.

27. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 24 , wherein the disintegrant comprises croscarmellose sodium.

28. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 24 , further comprising hydrogenated oil.

29. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 24 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dose form.

30. The therapeutic pharmaceutical composition of claim 24 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in suppository, capsule, caplet, pill, gel, soft gelatin capsule, or compressed tablet form.

31. A therapeutic pharmaceutical composition comprising: a mixture including (a) a water soluble drug susceptible to abuse at about 0.5 to about 25 percent by weight; (b) gel-forming polymer at about 3 to about 40 percent by weight; (c) a disintegrant at about 2 to 25 percent by weight wherein the disintegrant is selected from the group consisting of crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, and croscarmellose sodium; (d) polysorbate 80 at about 1 to 10 percent by weight; and (e) microcrystalline cellulose.
