This invention provides a matrix composition for sustained drug delivery which is comprised of an active agent, a hydrophilic polymer and an enteric polymer. The enteric polymer is impermeable to gastric fluids and aids in retarding drug release in regions of low pH, thus allowing lower levels of hydrophilic polymer to be employed. At the pH range of intestinal fluids, this polymer will dissolve and thereby increase the permeability of the dosage form. This approach is useful in sustaining the release of numerous active agents whose solubility declines as the pH is increased, a characteristic of weakly basic drugs. By responding to changes in physiological pH, these sustained release dosage forms have acceptable performance, in spite of variability in the gastrointestinal transit times of the formulation.
本发明提供了一种用于持续给药的基质组合物,它由活性剂、亲水性聚合物和肠道聚合物组成。肠道聚合物对胃液无渗透性,有助于延缓药物在低 pH 值区域的释放,从而允许使用较低含量的亲水性聚合物。在肠液的 pH 值范围内,这种聚合物会溶解,从而增加剂型的渗透性。这种方法适用于多种活性药物的持续释放,这些药物的溶解度会随着 pH 值的升高而降低,这是弱碱性药物的特点。通过对生理 pH 值的变化做出反应,这些缓释制剂具有可接受的性能,尽管制剂的胃肠道通过时间会发生变化。
