Definitions
- the present invention relates to extended release pharmaceutical compositions of doxazosin.
- the compositions include doxazosin, a low viscosity release retarding agent and a high viscosity release retarding agent.
- doxazosin a low viscosity release retarding agent
- a high viscosity release retarding agent a high viscosity release retarding agent.
- Doxazosin, l-(4-amino-6, 7-dimethoxy -2-quinazolinyl)-4-[(2,3-dihydro-l, 4- benzodioxin-2-yl)-carbonyl]-piperazine monomethanesulfonate and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,188,390.
- Doxaz sin is a quinazoline derivative that acts through selective inhibition of alpha- 1 adrenoceptors and is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents, urinary outflow obstruction and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Doxazosin is well absorbed after oral administration with a bioavailability of 65% and a mean plasma half-life of about 1 lhrs.
- doxazosin therapy is initiated at 1 mg standard immediate release dosage form per day. The dose is doubled every 7 to 14 days to a maximum recommended dose of 16 mg per day for hypertension and 8 mg per day for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- This regimen can require up to three to four titration steps to achieve therapeutically effective doses in a manner that is likely to avoid first dose side effects.
- This can be achieved by developing a formulation that has a sustained release of doxazosin which subsequently prolongs the Tmax and reduces the peak to trough blood level fluctuation levels of doxazosin when compared to the standard immediate release dosage form available.
- This problem was solved by the development of Cardura-XL osmotic dosage form by Pfizer.
- the Cardura-XL formulation utilizes an osmotic system to deliver doxazosin for extended period of at least about 24 hours. The advantages of this system are that the release of the drug is pH independent and gastrointestinal motility does not significantly affect the rate of release of the active ingredient.
- the active ingredient is released from said osmotic dosage form in a zero order thus controlling the active ingredient delivery rate.
- development of such a system requires sophisticated facilities for techniques, such as laser drilling, and requires skilled people to manufacture the dosage form. Such requirements have implications on overall costs and time of production when compared to a conventional matrix dosage form.
- the matrix formulations of the present invention are easy to manufacture, do not require skilled persons and manufacturing operations and are relatively simple and cost effective.
- the matrix formulations of the present invention releases the drug over extended period of time from about 12 hours to about 24 hours wherein there is a sustained release of doxazosin with a prolonged T max that has reduced peak to trough doxazosin blood level fluctuation. This enhances the pharmacokinetic profile and affords a simplified dosing schedule.
- the formulations of the present invention may be administered at higher initial daily dose (4 mg per day) than the standard doxazosin 1 mg immediate release tablet, while avoiding significant first pass side effects.
- the therapeutic effective levels of doxazosin can be reached more rapidly without excessive plasma levels and a more uniform plasma concentration is provided that has minimal peak to trough blood level fluctuation.
- European Patent No. 700285 discloses pharmaceutical compositions of alpha adrenoreceptor blocking agents which have a biphasic drug release profile.
- the pharmaceutical compositions have matrix compositions which include hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and an additional coating which is dissolved by conditions present in the colon.
- 4,259,314 discloses a dry pharmaceutical formulation containing a therapeutic agent and a dry carrier comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose. Also disclosed is the use of hygroscopic active ingredients with the formulations.
- European Patent No. 862437 discloses a controlled-release pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration consisting essentially of: an active drug compound; low molecular weight polyethylene oxide; hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose; tabletting excipients; and optionally one or more enteric polymers
- European Patent No. 0413061 discloses the sustained formulations containing active ingredient and combination of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose.
