20080206155 | STABLE NON-ALCOHOLIC FOAMABLE PHARMACEUTICAL EMULSION COMPOSITIONS WITH AN UNCTUOUS EMOLLIENT AND THEIR USES - A stable non-alcoholic foamable pharmaceutical emulsion composition includes an unctuous emollient, at a concentration of about 0.5% to about 49% by weight; at least one multi-active agent; at a concentration of about 0.5% to about 15% by weight; water; an effective amount of an active pharmaceutical agent having a degree of solubility in the emulsion composition; and at least one liquefied or compressed gas propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 25% by weight of the total composition; wherein the unctuous emollient comprises a petrolatum alone or in combination with other unctuous agents; wherein the multi active agent is selected from the group consisting of (a) two or more complex emulgators wherein there is a difference of about 4 or more units between the HLB values of two of the emulgators or there is a significant difference in the chemical nature or structure of two of the emulgators; (b) a surfactant and a foam adjuvant or co surfactant, wherein the surfactant has a HLB close to the required HLB of the oil phase; (c) a surfactant and a liquid wax, wherein the surfactant has a HLB close to the required HLB of the oil phase; (d) a surfactant and a polymeric agent other than starch or a modified starch ester, wherein the surfactant has a HLB close to the required HLB of the oil phase; (e) a polymeric agent and a foam adjuvant or co surfactant, which can cooperate to stabilize the emulsion; (f) a single surfactant without a long polymeric side chain that is composed of a mixture of esters having a HLB close to the required HLB of the oil phase; combinations of any of the above, and wherein the composition is substantially flowable is stored in an pressurized container and upon release expands to form a breakable foam. | 08-28-2008 |
20080206159 | COMPOSITIONS WITH MODULATING AGENTS - The present invention relates to a waterless composition and foam as a vehicle in which an active pharmaceutical or cosmetic agent, when added is stable or stabilized by or its destabilization is impeded by the presence of a modulating agent. The pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition and foam, includes: a waterless solvent, a modulating agent and one or more active pharmaceutical or cosmetic agents. The present invention also relates to a method of treatment administering the waterless composition and foam. | 08-28-2008 |
20080206161 | QUIESCENT FOAMABLE COMPOSITIONS, STEROIDS, KITS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to an emulsion steroid composition as a foamable vehicle in which the vehicle is stable or stabilized by the presence of at least one quiesence agent; therapeutical kit containing such composition; to methods of treatment using such composition; to methods of enhancing the stability of such composition. | 08-28-2008 |
20080253973 | SENSATION MODIFYING TOPICAL COMPOSITION FOAM - This invention relates to foamable compositions that are capable of producing a sensation or sensation modifying effect upon application on a body surface. More particularly the invention relates to foamable pharmaceutical, therapeutic and cosmetic compositions, comprising an active agent, having a sensation or sensation modifying affect on a body surface, upon application. More particularly, the invention relates to foamable compositions comprising: (a) a foamable carrier; (b) at least one sensation or sensation modifying agent, selected from the group of a cooling agent; a warming agent; a relaxing or soothing agent; stimulating or refreshing agent; or mixtures thereof and (c) a propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 45% by weight of the total composition. The foamable carrier can be an emollient emulsion foamable vehicle, a foamable gel vehicle and can also be a substantially non aqueous foamable vehicle. | 10-16-2008 |
20080260655 | SUBSTANTIALLY NON-AQUEOUS FOAMABLE PETROLATUM BASED PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS AND THEIR USES - The present invention relates to stable substantially non-aqueous, non-alcoholic, non-silicone, foamable carrier compositions comprising petrolatum or mixtures thereof, at least one foam agent, at least one propellant, and with and without the addition of an active agent. The formulations may contain a solvent substantially miscible therein. The present invention further provides a method of treating, alleviating or preventing a disorder of mammalian subject in need thereof, comprising administering the above-mentioned compositions to an afflicted target site of said mammalian subject. | 10-23-2008 |
20080292560 | SILICONE IN GLYCOL PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS WITH ACCOMMODATING AGENT - A carrier, composition or foam formulation comprising; a silicone; about 25% to about 98% of a solvent selected from the group consisting of (1) a propylene glycol or derivative and (2) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) or derivative or mixtures thereof; 0% to about 48% of at least one secondary solvent; and an Accommodating Agent or Complex; and methods of treatment. A hygroscopic silicone in glycol containing composition includes at least one hygroscopic substance at a concentration sufficient to provide an Aw value of at least 0.9 and a therapeutic agent. | 11-27-2008 |
20080299220 | HYDROPHILIC, NON-AQUEOUS PHARMACEUTICAL CARRIERS AND COMPOSITIONS AND USES - A waterless composition suitable for delivery of an active agent to a body surface or cavity includes a vehicle having about 70% to about 99% by weight of a hydrophilic polar solvent, said hydrophilic solvent selected from the group consisting of (i) a mixture of two or more different polyethylene glycols (PEGs), wherein at least one PEG is a high molecular weight PEG having a melting point greater than 25° C.; and (ii) propylene glycol (PG); about 0% to about 10% of at least one surface active agent; about 0% to about 5% of a polymeric agent; about 0% to about 30% of a secondary hydrophilic solvent; and about 0% to about 5% of a silicone oil; and about 3% to about 25% hydrophobic propellant. The composition is otherwise substantially free of a hydrophobic solvent and includes at least one of a surface active agent and a polymeric agent.
