1. An orally ingestible solid dose composition comprising:
- (A) barrier coated particulates which provide a modified release profile which comprises;
(i) a particulate drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising at least one drug bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin, said complex being in a matrix which further comprises a water insoluble polymer or copolymer, or hydrophilic polymer, wherein the particulate drug-cation exchange resin complex-matrix is capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, and(ii) about 20 wt % to about 50 wt %, based on the weight of the drug-cation exchange resin complex, of a high tensile strength, water permeable, water insoluble, non ionic, modified release polymeric diffusion barrier coating which provides a modified release profile to said at least one drug in the drug-cation exchange resin complex-matrix defined in (i), said barrier coating having an elongation factor of about 125% to about 400%, wherein said at least one drug is amphetamine or dextro-amphetamine; and
(B) at least one of (iiia) and/or (iiib);
(iiia) an uncoated particulate dextro-amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex of a size capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, wherein said uncoated dextro-amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex is dextro-amphetamine bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin,(iiib) an uncoated particulate amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex of a size capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, wherein said uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex is amphetamine bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin,and optionally at least one of (iiic) and/or (iiid);
(iiic) amphetamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is not complexed with an ion exchange resin, and/or(iiid) dextroamphetamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is not complexed with an ion exchange resin.

11. An orally ingestible solid dose composition comprising:
-
(A) barrier coated particulates which provide about a twelve-hour release profile which comprises; (i) a particulate drug-cation exchange resin complex comprising at least one drug bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin, said complex being in a matrix which further comprises a water insoluble polymer or copolymer, or hydrophilic polymer, wherein the particulate drug-cation exchange resin complex-matrix is capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, and (ii) about 30 wt % to about 50 wt %, based on the weight of the drug-cation exchange resin complex, of a high tensile strength, water permeable, water insoluble, non ionic, modified release polymeric diffusion barrier coating which provides a modified release profile to said at least one drug in said drug-cation exchange resin complex-matrix, said barrier coating having an elongation factor of about 125% to about 400%, wherein said at least one drug is amphetamine or dextro-amphetamine; and (B) at least one of (iiia) and/or (iiib); (iiia) an uncoated particulate dextro-amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex of a size capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, wherein said uncoated dextro-amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex is dextro-amphetamine bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin, (iiib) an uncoated particulate amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex of a size capable of passing through a number 40 mesh screen, wherein said uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex is amphetamine bound to a pharmaceutically acceptable water insoluble cation exchange resin, and optionally at least one of (iiic) and/or (iiid); (iiic) amphetamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is not complexed with an ion exchange resin, and/or (iiid) dextroamphetamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is not complexed with an ion exchange resin. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
