Definitions

  • the present invention relates to extended release tablets for oral administration comprising clarithromycin and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and processes for their preparation.
  • Background of the Invention Oral ingestion is one of the primary routes used for drug administration. This route provides a convenient method of effectively achieving both local and systemic effects. In conventional oral drug delivery systems there is little or no control over the release of the drug and an effective concentration can only be maintained by repeated administrations. Controlled release systems provide a uniform concentration of drug at the absorption site for an extended period of time and thus, after absorption, allow maintenance of plasma concentrations within a desired therapeutic range. This reduces the frequency of administration. The advantages of controlled release dosage forms for extended or sustained action are well known.
  • the macrolide antibiotics are known for their anti-bacterial activity against a number of micro-organisms and are typically administered as immediate release (IR) compositions two or three times a day for about 10 to 14 days.
  • IR immediate release
  • Clarithromycin (6-O-methylerythromycin A), in particular, has a very bitter metallic taste which can result in poor compliance of the dosing regimen or selection of another therapeutic agent, possibly making it a less effective therapeutic agent.
