TAMPER RESISTANT IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAPSULE FORMULATION COMPRISING TAPENTADOL

摘要

The invention is directed to an immediate release capsule which mitigates the abuse of Tapentadol or physiologically acceptable salt thereof by direct intravenous injection. The capsule comprises a tamper resistant formulation which when mixed with water and heated, results in a turbid, bubbling mixture that is not injectable with a standard insulin syringe.
