Abstract:
This invention provides for a unit dosage form of treprostinil at a dosage of between 0.1 mg/mL and 25 mg/mL in a sterile fluid composition formulated for subcutaneous or intravenous injection, which composition does not comprise an antimicrobial preservative. Selectively activatable patch-pump assemblies comprising a sealed prefilled drug-reservoir containing the unit dosage form is described as are methods for reducing pain at a site of subcutaneous or intravenous infusion of treprostinil in a subject in need thereof, and methods of reducing irritation, inflammation or a combination thereof at a site of subcutaneous or intravenous infusion of treprostinil in a subject in need thereof. The invention also provides a method of treating pulmonary hypertension, and methods for treating, or reducing the severity or reducing the pathogenesis of Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a subject making use of the compositions as herein described.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an infusion-patch comprising; a cannula; a base; at least one adhesive region in said base suitable for skin attachment; at least one skin-access area within said base; and at least one conduit in fluid connection with said at least one skin access area, wherein said at least one conduit in fluid connection with said at least one skin access area facilitates the transfer of an anesthetic substance within at least a first anesthetic-reservoir which may be removably attached and in fluid connection with said at least one contact area, promoting delivery of said anesthetic substance to said at least one skin-access areas, and wherein said anesthetic substance delivered to said skin-access areas may be at least partially replenished without removing said infusion-patch.
