Methods of using at least one α3 β4 nAChR antagonist and formulations comprising at least one α3 β4 nAChR antagonist, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are included.08-28-2008
20090214599PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR FORMULATIONS, AND METHODS OF PREPARING AND USING SUCH FORMULATIONS - Pharmaceutical formulation comprising at least one proton pump inhibitor structured and arranged to provide an initial pH-dependent delayed release, and a pH-dependent extended release of the at least one proton pump inhibitor.08-27-2009
20090246233Treatment of Gastroparesis and Nonulcer Dyspepsia With GABAB Agonists - The present invention relates to formulations comprising a therapeutically effective amount of baclofen or (R)-baclofen, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of their use. The present formulations and methods are designed to release a therapeutic amount of baclofen in a manner that maximizes its therapeutic effect. The methods and formulations are especially suitable for treating gastroparesis and nonulcer dyspepsia.10-01-2009
20090269400Nanoparticulate and Controlled Release Compositions Comprising a Cephalosporin - The present invention is directed to compositions comprising a nanoparticulate antibiotic having improved bioavailability. Preferably, the antibiotic comprises nanoparticulate cephalosporin particles with an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm and are useful in the treatment of bacterial infection. The invention also relates to a controlled release composition comprising a cephalosporin or a nanoparticulate cephalosporin that in operation delivers the drug in a pulsed or bimodal manner for the treatment of bacterial infection. The nanoparticulate cephalosporin particles may be formulated as a controlled release drug delivery system whereby the particles are coated one or more times with one or more natural or synthetic hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymer coating materials or dispersed throughout a natural or synthetic hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic polymer matrix.10-29-2009
20090297596Nanoparticulate and Controlled Release Compositions Comprising a Platelet Aggregation Inhibitor - The present invention provides a composition comprising a platelet aggregation inhibitor, for example, cilostazol, or a salt or derivative thereof, useful in the treatment and prevention of ischemic symptoms. The invention provides a composition which comprises nanoparticulate particles comprising the platelet aggregation inhibitor and at least one surface stabilizer. The nanoparticulate particles have an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm. The invention provides also a composition that delivers a platelet aggregation inhibitor, or nanoparticles comprising the same, in a pulsatile or continuous manner.12-03-2009
20100278917Formulations and Methods of Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Methods and formulations for treating inflammatory bowel disease are disclosed. The methods and formulations include, but are not limited to, methods and formulations for delivering effective concentrations of 4-aminosalicylic acid and/or 5-aminosalicylic acid to affected areas of the intestine. The methods and formulations comprise modified-release elements, providing for drug delivery to the affected or desired area. Diseases and conditions treatable with the present invention include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.11-04-2010
