Abstract:
Methods for formulating and compositions of immediate and sustained release liposomal products which comprise a surfactant that interacts with liposomes to effect drug release therefrom, and delivery of such for treatment of respiratory tract infections and other medical conditions, and devices and formulations used in connection with such are described.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to formulations, compositions, aerosols and kits used to provide habitual tobacco users with products, methods and apparatus to reduce and eventually terminate their dependence on nicotine containing products. More specifically, the invention relates to a nicotine-based medicament and dosage forms thereof formulated in such a way as to effectively reduce or eliminate the sensations of craving associated with addictive nicotine use.
Abstract:
Methods for formulating a liposome comprised of a surfactant and a cryopreservative that can be frozen for long term stability, and upon thawing provides an immediate and sustained release delivery profile. Specific liposome formulations include anti-infectives and delivery of such for treatment of respiratory tract infections and other medical conditions, and devices and formulations used in connection with such are described.
Abstract:
An aerosolizable formulation comprised of a drug, a carrier and pH affecting component is disclosed. The drug is dissolved in the formulation at a concentration above which it remains in solution at neutral pH. This increases the concentration of the drug in solution making it possible to administer larger amounts of drug with the same or a smaller volume of formulation. When the formulation is aerosolized to small particles and inhaled into human lungs in small volumes (e.g. 0.05 to 0.5 mL) the fluids in the lungs neutralize the formulation causing the drug to participate out of solution. This results in the drug being delivered at a controlled rate below the rate at which drug is administered from a formulation initially at a neutral pH.
Abstract:
Administration of aerosolized Treprostinil formulations may provide a more homogeneous lung deposition of treprostinil, whereby making deep lung delivery possible.
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to a system, kit and method for treating conditions responsive to nicotine therapy. More specifically, the invention relates to pulmonary administration of a nicotine containing formulation to effect smoking cessation.
Abstract:
A system for generating aerosol, comprises a multiple-dose container (44), a device for aerosol generation (14), with a means for delivering the aerosol (43) and a disposable package (1) comprising single doses of medicament. The package having a means for drug uptake (52), loadable onto the device and filled with medicament from the multi-dose container.
Abstract:
An antibiotic formulation for use in treating a subject diagnosed with bronchiectasis and chronic respiratory bacterial infections, with at least one strain of a bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in an airway sample taken from the subject; the use comprising (a) administering to the subject over a plurality of days (such as 28 days) by inhalation a formulation comprised of the un-encapsulated and encapsulated antibiotic, such as ciprofloxacin; (b) discontinuing the administering over a plurality of days; (c) repeating the administering over a plurality of days; (d) whereby an antibacterial impact of the formulation on the bacteria is not decreased with each repeating step (c).
