An extended release acetaminophen composition comprises particles containing acetaminophen coated on sugar/starch seeds. The particles are present as a blend of both an immediate release and a controlled release form. The composition, when contained within a gelatin capsule and assayed in a USP Apparatus I rotating basket at 50 rpm in 900 mL of phosphate buffer at pH 5.8 and a temperature of 37° C., exhibits about 40 percent acetaminophen dissolution at one-half hour, about 55 percent acetaminophen dissolution at one hour, and substantially complete dissolution of acetaminophen at six hours. A process for treating a human patient with the extended release acetaminophen composition is also disclosed. |
