摘要:
Composition of matter for application to a body surface or membrane to administer fluoxetine by permeation through the body surface or membrane, the composition comprising fluoxetine to be administered, at a therapeutically effective rate, alone or in combination with a permeation enhancer or mixture. A preferred embodiment is directed to the transdermal administration of fluoxetine at reduced skin irritation levels wherein fluoxetine, preferably provided as fluoxetine acetate, is coadministered with a corticosteroid such as hydrocortisone. Also disclosed are drug delivery devices containing the fluoxetine or fluoxetine and enhancer composition and methods for the transdermal administration of the fluoxetine and fluoxetine/enhancer composition.
摘要:
A composition for the treatment of impotence via delivery to the urethra comprises a vasoactive prostaglandin and a polyethylene glycol dispersant having sufficient viscosity to be retained without spillage from a urethra receivable insert. The composition can additionally contain an .alpha.-blocker. Suppositories can be formulated that are small enough for administration to the male urethra, and that dissolve, melt or bioerode within the urethra to release the active agent(s). The suppositories can contain vasodilators other than prostaglandins as the active for the treatment of impotence. Suppositories can also be formulated that contain active agents useful in the treatment of priapism or Peyronie's syndrome.
摘要:
A composition of matter for application to a body surface or membrane to administer oxybutynin by permeation through the body surface or membrane, the composition comprising, in combination, the oxybutynin to be administered, in a therapeutically effective amount; and a permeation-enhancing mixture comprising a monoglyceride or a mixture of monoglycerides, and a lactic ester or a mixture of lactate esters; present in specific concentrations.
摘要:
Diffusional delivery devices are constructed in two or more compartments, each containing a separate drug or other beneficial agent, and each arranged to permit diffusion of the agent out of the device through an individually-characterized agent-permeable wall segment. The diffusion rates of the various agents relative to one another are set and controlled by the parameters of the individual wall segments, such as the surface area of the wall segment, the average thickness of the wall segment, and the permeability of the wall segment for the particular agent. The permeability may be varied by variations in the chemical composition of the wall segment. Using these parameters rather than blending the agents at calculated ratios in a single formulation for diffusion through a single wall permits a wider range of, and greater flexibility in, variation between the diffusion rates of the different agents. This is of value when the simultaneous administration of agents at a specified ratio is desired.
