The present invention provides an osmotic device containing controlled release alprazolam in the core optionally in combination with an anti-psychotic agent, in a rapid release external coat. A wide range of anti-psychotic agents can be used in this device. Particular embodiments of the invention provide osmotic devices having predetermined release profiles. One preferred embodiment of the osmotic device includes an external coat that has been spray coated rather than compression coated onto the device. The device with spray coated external coat is smaller and easier to swallow than the similar device having a compression coated external coat. The device is useful for the treatment of depression, anxiety or psychosis related disorders.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif osmotique contenant de l'alprazolame à libération régulée dans le noyau, éventuellement associé à un agent antipsychotique dans un enrobage extérieur à libération rapide. On peut utiliser une grande variété d'agents antipsychotiques dans ce dispositif. Des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention concernent des dispositifs osmotiques qui présentent des profils de libération prédéterminés. Un mode préféré de réalisation du dispositif osmotique comprend un enrobage extérieur appliqué par vaporisation plutôt que par compression sur le dispositif. Le dispositif à enrobage extérieur appliqué par vaporisation est plus petit et plus facile à avaler que le dispositif analogue à enrobage extérieur appliqué par compression. Ce dispositif est utilisé pour le traitement de la dépression, de l'anxiété ou de troubles liés à la psychose.
