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.

Compositions for the treatment of wounds and/or scars are described herein. The compositions contain between 1 and up to 30% by weight, more preferably between 1 and 20%, most preferably between about 5 and 10% by weight particles, such as titanium dioxide or a similar material in a pharmaceutically acceptable base or carrier, such as petrolatum. The compositions are less greasy than petrolatum alone, and thus are more aesthetically pleasing. The compositions exhibit occlusive properties comparable to petrolatum. The compositions are absorbed into the skin, unlike petrolatum, and exhibit significant wound healing characteristics not observed with petrolatum alone. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable base is petrolatum and the particles are titanium dioxide. The compositions can be used to treat complex, hard to heal wounds, such as diabetic ulcers; pressure sores, such as bed sores; lacerations; bite wounds; burns; penetrating wounds; surgical wounds, etc. The composition can also be used to promote normal healing of scar tissue. The compositions can also be used for the topical delivery of one or more active agent. The compositions can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and to rehydrate skin or to treat dry skin.

The pharmaceutical formulations of the invention for masking the odor from the sulfur-containing active agent comprise at least one sulfur-containing active agent, an effective amount of at least one flavoring agent. Any flavoring agent or combinations of flavoring agents may be used in the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention. The flavoring agent may be natural flavors, natural fruit flavors, artificial flavors, and mixtures thereof. The pharmaceutical formulation may contain an artificial sweetener, a natural sweetener or mixtures thereof. The pharmaceutical formulations are provided in liquid dosage form or a dry powder dosage form for reconstitution in water. Stabilizer added as one of expicients can extend the stability of the pharmaceutical formulation liquid dosage form for a period of at least 30 days when the formulation is stored below room temperature. The pharmaceutical formulations of the invention are palatable and particularly useful for the administration of sulfur-containing drugs to very small children that are in need of such medications. Methods of forming a liquid dosage form of pharmaceutical formulation by adding water to the dry powder form, methods to prepare an odor-masking pharmaceutical formulation and methods for treating lead poisoning or Wilson's disease using the odor-masking pharmaceutical formulation are also provided.
摘要:
A topical composition and the method using the composition, which contains an antifungal agent and a low potency anti-inflammatory steroid which is safe and effective such as desonide or its derivative. The low potency steroid agent does not cause side effects such as skin atrophy, striae and hypopigmentation. In a representative example, the low potency anti-inflammatory steroid has the following structure: wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 taken independently can be H, C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 alkenyl, C3-C10 cycloalkyl, and phenyl groups; R1 and R2 taken together can be C3-C10 cycloalkyl; and R3, and R4 taken independently can be H, C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 alkenyl, C3-C10 cycloalkyl, phenyl, C7-C10 phenylalkyl, carboxylate, sulfonyl, phosphoryl, and phosphonyl groups. The composition can be formulated in a dosage form such as a cream, ointment, gel, lotion, foam, powder, aerosol, spray, shampoo, or liquid solution. The composition can be used to treat a fungal disease such as tinea pedis, tinea capitis, tinea corporis, tinea versicolor, tinea cruris, and candidiasis as well as intertriginous dermatitis complicated by candidiasis.
