摘要:
Formulations are described that are viscous and will benefit from needle-free delivery at high driving pressures. Conventional delivery of these viscous formulations by hypodermic syringes is inconvenient as well as painful. Formulations include those which have a viscosity of about 5 cS or more at about 20° C. and which can have 0.5 ml or more administered by a needle-free injector in about 0.1 second±0.02 seconds.

Systems and methods are described for treating un-met medical needs in migraine and related conditions such as cluster headache. Included are treatments that are both rapid onset and long acting, which include sustained release formulations, and combination products. Also included are treatments for multiple symptoms of migraine, especially headache and nausea and vomiting. Systems that are self contained, portable, prefilled, and simple to self administer at the onset of a migraine attack are disclosed, and preferably include a needle-free injector and a high viscosity formulation, to eliminate such issues as fear of self administration with needles, and needle stick and cross contamination.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the production of medicinal aerosol compositions which are made up of a homogenous solution of aerosol propellants, a surfactant and a pharmaceutically active compound, where the process comprises purifying the surfactant, removing the water from the surfactant, and dispersing the surfactant in an aerosol propellant with a hydrophilic pharmaceutical composition and a controlled amount of water. The present invention also provides medicinal aerosol compositions produced by this method which are a homogenous solution of the pharmaceutically active compound contained in reverse micelles made up of the surfactant; and methods of using the medicinal aerosols to provide an effective amount of a therapeutic agent.

The need for the delivery of insulin by injection can be reduced or eliminated by delivering an aerosolized monomeric insulin formulation. Repeatability of dosing and more particularly the repeatability of the blood concentration versus time profile is improved relative to regular insulin. The blood concentration versus time profile is substantially unaffected by specific aspects of the patient=s breathing maneuver at delivery. Further, the rate at which blood glucose is lowered is increased by the use of monomeric insulin. Particles of insulin and in particular monomeric insulin delivered to the surface of lung tissue will be absorbed into the circulatory system. The monomeric insulin may be a dry powder but is preferably in a liquid formulation delivered to the patient from a hand-held, self-contained device which automatically releases an aerosolized burst of formulation. The device includes a sensor which is preferably electronic which measures inspiratory flow and volume which measurement can be used to control the point of drug release.
摘要:
A system is disclosed which makes it possible for a patient to be delivered gradually reduced amounts of nicotine over time thereby allowing the patient to be gradually weaned off of dependence on nicotine and quit smoking. The system is comprised of a means for aerosolizing a formulation and containers of formulation. The formulation is comprised of nicotine in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably, a plurality of containers are produced wherein the concentration of nicotine in the different containers or different groups of containers is reduced. The patient uses containers with the highest concentration initially and gradually moves towards using containers with lower and lower concentrations of nicotine until the patient's dependence on nicotine is eliminated.
