EXAMPLES In the following embodiments of the invention, the below listed quantities of drug substances and additional components are combined using standard pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques. The resulting formulations are used to compress into tablets.
Tablet formulation:
Method of manufacture: The ezetimibe, simvastatin and starlac are granulated using binder solution of butylated hydroxy anisole and ethanol in planetary mixer, rapid mixer granulator; or other suitable granulator. This wet mass may be then dried. The dried granulation may be then milled to acheive the desired particle size distribution and then blended with the other ingredients. This blend is compressed into tablets. These compressed tablets are coated using a non aqueous solution of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose-15cps, purified talc, lake brilliant blue, titanium dioxide and triacetin by using autocota, neocota; or other suitable coating pan.
