USPTO Abstract

A pharmaceutical composition comprising spheroids comprising a water-soluble active ingredient or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, microcrystalline cellulose and a sugar. Preferably the active ingredient is hydromorphone hydrochloride and the sugar is lactose. Surprisingly the incorporation of a sugar improves the dissolution rate of the spheroid formulation instead of reducing the dissolution rate by competing with the active ingredient for solubilization.
