This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. whereas a beadlet comprises a slow release core coated by No. 10/630,446, filed Jul. 29, 2003. a controlled release coating. The Sustained release core is FIELD OF INVENTION coated with an immediate release layer. 0002 This invention relates to a dosage form comprising 0011 Richard Ting and Charles Hscao describes in U.S. of a high dose, high Solubility active ingredient as modified Pat. No. 6,372,254 B1 a press coated, pulsatile active release and a low dose active ingredient as immediate ingredient delivery System which comprises a core of imme release where the weight ratio of immediate release active diate release, enveloped by an extended release compart ingredient and modified release active ingredient is from 1:1 ment. to 1:15000 and the weight of modified release high dose high solubility active ingredient per unit is from 500 mg to 1500 0012. The need to use active ingredients with different mg and the weight of immediate release active ingredient is and complementary mechanisms of action frequently arises up to 500 mg, a proceSS for preparing the formulation. Low in treatment of diabetes. There are Several reasons to do this, dose active ingredient in present invention can optionally be namely, the disease itself is progressive, with deterioration also in a form of modified release. of glycemic control over time; mono-therapeutic attempts to achieve and maintain glycemic control often fail in the long BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION run; multiple defects in the disease and consequently pri 0.003 Combining two active ingredients in one pharma mary drug failures (1,2,3). ceutical unit to improve patient compliance is known in 0013 Current guidelines for combination therapy advise literature. It can be either in the form of two or more active the use of agents with differing and complementary mecha ingredients in immediate release form or a combination of nisms of action in order to maximize therapeutic activity and immediate release and modified release form. There are reduce toxicity. Earlier introduction of combination therapy various techniques by which the combination of immediate is increasingly being recommended. The commonly com release and modified release is formulated in Single dosage bined active ingredients include biguanides (metformin)+ form. sulphonylureas, biguanides+PPAR agonists(thiazolidinedi 0004 Several examples of formulations having combi ones), Sulphonylureas--thiazolidinediones, non-Sulfonylurea nation of immediate release active ingredient and modified Secretagogues (repaglinide)+biguanides etc. Fixed dose release active ingredient are described below. combinations of many of the above mentioned co-administer active ingredients have also been approved by the FDA. 0005 Shoichi Higo and Kazuo Igusa describes in U.S. Most of these combinations are conventional formulations Pat. No. 5,985,843 various types of pharmaceutical formu combined together into a Single tablet. However, because of lations, which consists of a delayed release of Sucralfate and the disparity in the duration of action (half-life), these an immediate release fraction of another active ingredient. combinations are given twice or thrice a day. The pharmaceutical dosage forms are a tablet formulation containing immediate release and delayed release granules, 0014) To reduce this disparity in the duration of action, a a two or three layer tablet; a tablet with delayed release core novel Strategy would be to combine a Sustained release Surrounded by immediate release shell; a delayed release formulation of one active ingredient (shorter duration of tablet/granule coated with a film of immediate release active action) with conventional formulation (long duration of ingredient. action) of another active ingredient. This would make it possible to give the active ingredients in Same dosing 0006 Similarly Jurgen Zeidler et. al describes in U.S. frequency. Pat. No. 6,001,391 a process for producing solid combina tion tablets, which have at least two phases.

The formulation is modified release and low dose active ingredient into imme in the form of inlay tablet or bilayered tablet or a capsule diate release or modified release form where the weight ratio containing pellets. of low dose active ingredient and high dose, high Solubility US 2006/0024365 A1 Feb. 2, 2006 active ingredient is from 1:1 to 1:15000 and the weight of weight of modified release active ingredient per unit is from modified release active ingredient per unit is from 500 mg to 500 mg to 1500 mg.
