Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of oral dosage forms and in particular the field of rapidly disintegrating oral dosage formulations that disintegrate rapidly in the saliva of the buccal cavity and can be swallowed easily with or without drinking water. As used in this application the term “rapidly disintegrating” means that the dosage formulation dissolves in an aqueous media within 5 minutes, preferably less than two minutes and most preferably less than one minute.
- Antihistamines are a well known class of pharmaceutically active compounds, some of which are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,869,479, 5,691,370 and Remington's 20th Ed., pages 1464-1470 which are incorporated herein by reference. Piperidinoalkanol derivatives which are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,996,061 and incorporated herein by reference are a particular class of antihistamine. Loratadine is a specific type of piperidinoalkanol and is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,282,233 as an antihistamine with little or no sedative effect. Schering Corporation currently markets a rapidly disintegrating form of loratadine under the tradename CLARITIN REDITABS. CLARITIN REDITABS contain 10 mg of micronized loratadine and disintegrate in the mouth within seconds after placement on the tongue, allowing its contents to be subsequently swallowed with or without water. CLARITIN REDITABS also contain citric acid, gelatin, mannitol and mint flavoring. See Physicians' Desk Reference, 52nd Ed., pp. 2613-2615.

The processing aids are generally added to the dosage formulation in small amounts (less than 2 weight percent) and do not materially affect the properties of the final dosage formulation. The following example illustrates the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
- An antihistamine tablet containing loratadine is prepared according to the following procedure:
- Stage I Homogenation
- 0.333 kg of Povidone K-30 is added to purified water while homogenizing with a homogenizer for 5 minutes at a speed greater than about 1,200 r.p.m. to form a solution.
- 0.033 kg of sodium lauryl sulfate is added to the solution. The homogenizer speed is reduced to below 800 r.p.m. in order to prevent excess foaming and homogenization is continued for about 2 minutes.
- 3.333 kg of micronized loratadine is slowly added to the solution and homogenized until the loratadine is completely dispersed.
- The homogenizer is rinsed and replaced with a mechanical stirrer and the suspension is stirred continually throughout the entire process.
- Stage II Coating
- 1.633 kg of Mannitol and 4.667 kg of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel™ PH101) are loaded onto a fluidized bed coater and the drug suspension is sprayed onto the substrates. The inlet air temperature is between 30 and 60° C., outlet air temperature is between 20 and 45° C., atomization pressure is between 0.8-3.5 bar, and the pump rate is about 20-120 ml/minute.
- After the suspension is consumed, the pump is stopped and the granules are dried in the fluidized bed coater for 20 minutes at 30-40° C. product temperature. If the amount of loss on drying is greater than 2.5% then the granules are placed in an oven. The granules are then placed through a co-mil equipped with a #1143 screen and a 0.175″ spacer at 800 to 1500 r.p.m. and collected.
- Stage III Blending/Granulation
- The following materials as shown in TABLE I as blended for 10 minutes at 32 r.p.m.
TABLE I D-Mannitol 1.865 kg Colloidal silicon dioxide (Cab-O-Sil) 0.214 kg Citric Acid 0.088 kg Aspartame 0.188 kg Artificial Cherry Flavor 0.188 kg Crospovidone (Polyplasdone) 0.588 kg Lactose, monohydrate 3.5 kg - The blended mixture is passed through a comil equipped with a #1143 sized stainless steel screen with a 0.175 spacer at 1200-1800 r.p.m. forming a powder blend.
- The loratadine granules from STAGE III and powder blend are blended for 10 minutes at 32 rpm.
- Sodium stearate is passed through a 30 mesh screen and blended for 10 minutes at 32 r.p.m. Unit dose samples are then collected in separate containers.
- Stage IV Compression
- The blend is then compressed into tablets on a tablet press using a ¼ inch round flat-faced beveled-edge die. The tablet hardness should range between 0.5 and 2.0 kPa, and preferably around 0.75 to 1.5, most preferably about 1.2 kPa, measured by techniques commonly used in the art.
- The dosage form described herein can be used to provide fast relief from colds, Flu, allergies, and other respiratory diseases. In order to achieve fast release, the tablet is placed inside the mouth of the patient. The tablet will rapidly disintegrate upon contact with any aqueous media. In the mouth, the disintegrated tablet is carried to the stomach where the drug is absorbed and utilized by the patient to provide antihistamine therapy.
- While certain preferred and alternative embodiments of the invention have been set forth for purposes of disclosing the invention, modifications to the disclosed embodiments may occur to those who are skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments of the invention and modifications thereof which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
