20080299048 | MIXED DRUG AEROSOL COMPOSITIONS - The present invention pertains to aerosols which comprise a first compound which is physiologically active and a second compound which is different from the first compound. Such aerosols may be produced “on demand” and can be used to control drug release, to improve vaporizability, or to reduce, modify or eliminate undesirable taste associated with a drug aerosol. The present invention also pertains to methods for producing such aerosols. | 12-04-2008 |
20080306285 | Heat-Labile Prodrugs - Disclosed herein are heat-labile prodrugs, their preparation and uses. | 12-11-2008 |
20080311176 | Drug Condensation Aerosols And Kits - The present invention provides novel condensation aerosols for the treatment of disease and/or intermittent or acute conditions. These condensation aerosols have little or no pyrolysis degradation products and are characterized by having an MMAD of between 1-3 microns. These aerosols are made by rapidly heating a substrate coated with a thin film of drug having a thickness of between 0.05 and 20 μm, while passing a gas over the film, to form particles of a desirable particle size for inhalation. Kits comprising a drug and a device for producing a condensation aerosol are also provided. The device contained in the kit typically, has an element for heating the drug which is coated as a film on the substrate and contains a therapeutically effective dose of a drug when the drug is administered in aerosol form, and an element allowing the vapor to cool to form an aerosol. Also disclosed, are methods for using these aerosols and kits. | 12-18-2008 |
20090062254 | Acute Treatment of Headache with Phenothiazine Antipsychotics - Methods of treating headache with antipsychotics are provided. A kit for treating headache is also provided, comprising an antipsychotic and a device for rapid delivery of the antipsychotic. | 03-05-2009 |
