摘要:
New pharmaceutical compositions in unit dosage form are disclosed for both intraoral and oral administration to a patient, said unit dosage form configured to be placed intraorally of said patient, which comprises: (a) as a first portion, at least one discrete molded triturate tablet comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient capable of intraoral administration; and (b) as a second portion located around the said first portion, a therapeutically effective amount of at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient capable of oral administration and which is releasable and orally ingestible by the patient after the molded triturate tablet has disintegrated or has dissolved intraorally.

摘要:
Compositions containing both a sedative compound and a non-sedative antihistamine are provided. More particularly, compositions for administration at bedtime containing a sedating antihistamine or other sedating compound in immediate release form and a non-sedating antihistamine in delayed-release form are described. Alternatively, a composition, for administrating upon awakening, containing a non-sedating antihistamine in immediate release form, and a sedating antihistamine or other sedative in delayed-release form is described. Methods of inhibiting the release of histamines by administration of the compositions to a mammalian subject are also provided. The dosage forms may comprise other medications, such as leukotriene receptor antagonists, to enhance the suppression of histamine symptoms.

摘要:
Novel pharmaceutical dosage forms provide for pulsatile delivery of an antiarrhythmic agent that releases the drug in spaced apart “pulses.” The dosage forms are comprised of first, second and optional third dosage units, with each dosage unit having a different drug release profile. The dosage forms may comprise capsules housing compressed tablets or drug-containing beads, granules, or particles or may comprise a single tablet with the first, second and optional third dosage units incorporated therein, or a “coated core” dosage form. Methods of treatment using the pharmaceutical dosage forms are provided as well.

摘要:
A topical spray or foam, methods of making the formulation, and methods of use thereof, has been developed. In one preferred embodiment, the composition includes one or more active agents and exhibits both antibacterial activity and antifungal activity. Excipients such as chemical disinfectants, anti-pruritic agents to minimize itching, and skin protective compounds may be added. The composition may be formulated to be dispensed as a spray or foam and the spray or foam may be administered either by a hand pump or by an aerosolizing propellant. A second single phase formulation has also been developed. The formulation comprises a first drug which is water soluble or hydrophilic and a second drug which is lipid soluble or hydrophobic, wherein at least one of the drugs is bound to an ion-exchange resin. The use of binding resins, such as ion-exchange resins, allows drugs with incompatible solvent requirements to be prepared in a single-phase formulation.
摘要:
A composition for anesthetizing oral or buccal tissues, especially periodontal pockets, is provided. The composition has a high concentration of topical anesthetic carried in a non-aqueous liquid vehicle containing a gelling agent. The anesthetics are optionally stabilized in the solution by ion-exchange complexation. The composition can anesthetize the gingivae for an extended period, such as 30 minutes or longer. Preferred anesthetics include tetracaine, benzocaine, butamben, and mixtures of these.
摘要:
A topical liquid aerosol formulation for accurate metered dose delivery has been developed which includes a concentrate comprising a local anesthetic in a non-alcohol solvent and a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) propellant. In the preferred embodiment, the concentration of the non-alcohol solvent in the concentrate is between about 75% and 85% by weight of the formulation. In the most preferred embodiment, the non-alcohol solvent is a water-soluble polyol such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, oligoalkylene glycols, liquid polyalkylene glycols, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the concentration of the local anesthetic in the concentrate is between about 15% and 25% by weight. In the preferred embodiment, the hydrofluorocarbon propellant is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane or combinations thereof, in a concentration between about 35% and 65% by weight of the final formulation, more preferably between about 45% and 55% by weight of the final formulation. A particularly preferred formulation includes benzocaine, tetracaine, and butylaminobenzoate, wherein the concentration of benzocaine in the concentrate is 14% by weight, the concentration of tetracaine in the concentrate is 2% by weight, and the concentration of butylaminobenzoate in the concentrate is 2% by weight. It has been found that the formulation is more stable in the substantial absence of oxygen. The formulation is preferably administered using a metered dose device for release of a controlled amount of the local anesthetic.
