Pantoprozole XR/Protonix XR

Rexista
Rexista is one of IntelliPharmaCeutics non-generic development products. It is an abuse- and alcohol-resistant, controlled-release oral oxycodone formulation. This product is covered by pending patent applications. Rexista™ is a unique dosage form, designed to be resistant to well-documented abuse that is experienced with current oxycodone products. This includes abuse by injection when combined with solvents and by nasal inhalation when crushed or powdered. Rexista™ is also designed to resist release of the entire dose when consumed with alcohol, a significant problem with some opioid drugs, such as hydromorphone.

The pilot clinical trial produced the following results :


 * The Rexista™ product demonstrated sustained release pharmacokinetic activity, with blood plasma concentrations at clinically significant levels over a 24 hour period.


 * The bioavailability of a single dose of the Rexista™ product, as measured by Cmax and AUC, was comparable to that of two doses of Oxycontin® dosed at 12 hour intervals. Both Cmax and AUC were in the 80% - 125% range as compared to Oxycontin®, demonstrating effective bioequivalence with the branded product.
