EP3698776A1 — Tamper-resistant dosage form with immediate release and resistance against solvent extraction

USPTO Abstract

The invention relates to a tamper-resistant pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a multitude of particles which comprise a pharmacologically active compound, preferably selected from opioids; a polyalkylene oxide having a weight average molecular weight within the range of from 200,000 g/mol to 2,000,000 g/mol, and a disintegrant; wherein the pharmacologically active compound is dispersed in a matrix comprising the polyalkylene oxide and the disintegrant; wherein the content of the disintegrant is more than 20 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the particles; wherein the content of the polyalkylene oxide is at least 25 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the particles; and wherein the dosage form provides under in vitro conditions immediate release of the pharmacologically active compound in accordance with Ph. Eur.
