Dosage forms, compositions and methods for the controlled release of oxycodone over a prolonged period of time are described. The present invention discloses a novel means for delivering varying doses of oxycodone using a drug composition having only oxycodone, a polymer carrier and varying amounts of salt to provide a particular viscosity of the hydrated drug core for delivery of the drug at the desired release rate. The present invention functions by modulating the viscosity of the hydrated drug layer in operation by the addition or reduction of salts in the drug composition. The system is independent of solubility enhancers or pH modifiers. The sustained release dosage forms provide therapeutically effective average steady-state plasma oxycodone concentrations when administered once per day.
                            本发明描述了长时间控制释放
羟考酮的剂型、组合物和方法。本发明公开了一种新颖的方法,可使用仅含有
羟考酮、聚合物载体和不同量盐的药物组合物来递送不同剂量的
羟考酮,以提供
水合药物核心的特定粘度,从而以所需的释放速率递送药物。本发明通过在药物组合物中添加或减少盐来调节
水合药物层的粘度。该系统与溶解度增强剂或 pH 值调节剂无关。这种缓释剂型每天给药一次,可提供治疗有效的平均稳态血浆
羟考酮浓度。
