Drug delivery involving hydrogels as used for various medical conditions, and includes hydrogels formed in an eye with extended drug release times. An embodiment of the invention is a method of delivering a therapeutic agent to a tissue comprising forming a hydrogel in situ in an eye with a therapeutic agent dispersed in the hydrogel, the agent having a low solubility in water. The agent may be essentially insoluble in water. The hydrogel may be made so that 50% to 100% w/w of the agent is released when the hydrogel is from 100% to 50% persistent, with the persistence being a measure of the dry weight of the hydrogel relative to an initial dry weight of the hydrogel.

Provided herein are stable amlodipine oral liquid formulations. Also provided herein are methods of using amlodipine oral liquid formulations for the treatment of certain diseases including hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

Dosage forms, drug delivery systems, and methods related to sustained release of dextromethorphan or improved therapeutic effects are disclosed. Typically, bupropion or a related compound is orally administered to a human being to be treated with, or being treated with, dextromethorphan.

A pharmaceutical composition which comprises therapeutically effective amount of a aminopyridine dispersed in a release matrix, including, for example, a composition that can be formulated into a stable, sustained-release oral dosage formulation, such as a tablet which provides, upon administration to a patient, a therapeutically effective plasma level of the aminopyridine for a period of at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hour or more and the use of the composition to treat various neurological diseases.

A method for treating AR+ breast cancer in a subject comprising administering to the subject an AR agonist (e.g., SARMs such as RAD140), or in combination with one or more therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of cdk4/6 inhibitors, m-TOR inhibitors, PI3k inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, and MCL-1 inhibitors.

Disclosed herein are veterinary compositions including imidacloprid or an analogue thereof; a pyrethroid; a solvent selected from the group consisting of N-methyl pyrrolidone, N-ethyl pyrrolidone and mixtures thereof; and dimethyl sulfoxide. The veterinary compositions of the invention are useful in methods of controlling parasites on or within warm-blooded domesticated animals.

The present invention provides a compound having an excellent efficacy for controlling pests. According to the present invention, a compound represented by formula (I) [wherein Q represents a group represented by Q1, or a group represented by Q2 (where • represents a binding site to a benzene ring), E represents a C5-C6 cycloalkenyl group and so on, L represents an oxygen atom or NH, a combination of R.sup.1 and n represents a combination where R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, and n is 1, and so on, and R.sup.2 represents a methyl group and so on] or its N-oxide, or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof has an excellent efficacy for controlling pests.
