Pharmaceutical semi-solid composition of isotretinoin
DCFirst Claim
1. An oral pharmaceutical composition, comprising isotretinoin, and at least an oil and a glycerol macrogolglyceride of HLB of at least 10, wherein said oral pharmaceutical composition is substantially devoid of food effect when the amount of isotretinoin dissolved attains at least 70% of the oral pharmaceutical composition after about four hours of dissolution in a USP dissolution apparatus number 2 at a paddle speed of 100 rpm, and a dissolution media composed of 900 ml of pH 7.5 buffer containing 0.11% pancreatin, 4.7% cholic acid, 0.14% sodium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.5% sodium hydroxide at 37°

Abstract
The invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition of isotretinoin at least two excipients, one of the excipients being a hydrophilic excipient having an HLB value greater than or equal to 10 and the other excipient being an oily vehicle. The oral pharmaceutical composition is substantially devoid of food effect as characterized by a dissolution profile wherein at least 70% of the oral pharmaceutical composition is dissolved after about four hours in a USP2 dissolution apparatus at a paddle speed of 100 rpm, and a dissolution media composed of 900 mL of pH 7.5 buffer containing 0.11% pancreatin, 4.7% cholic acid, 0.14% sodium dihydroxide phosphate and 0.5% sodium hydroxide at 37° C.
