Disclosed in certain embodiments is a solid oral dosage form comprising a heat-labile gelling agent; a thermal stabilizer; and a drug susceptible to abuse.

The present invention provides aqueous formulations containing an anti-infection agent, a biocompatible polysaccharide, an osmotic pressure regulator, a pH regulator, and water, wherein a gel containing the therapeutic agent is formed in situ upon instillation of the formulations onto the skin and a body cavity of a subject. The formulations of this invention are useful for treating infectious diseases of skin or a body cavity (e.g., eye, nose, or vagina) of a subject.

The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprising live bacteria of at least one Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) strain in combination with a filler that specifically supports their viability during storage and/or their ability to replicate after application to the skin. Preferably, the cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprises bacteria of at least one C. acnes strain selected from the group consisting of D1, A5, C1, C3, H1, H2, H3, K1, K2, K4, K6, K8, K9, L1, and F4. The invention also provides a method for treating or preventing acne by applying the skin care composition of the invention to a skin area in need of treatment. The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.

Disclosed are formulations comprising niclosamide. The formulations disclosed may be used as a unisex and hormone-free on-demand contraceptive.

This invention provides compositions for controlled localized depositing of one or more drugs within a subject. More particularly, described herein are compositions comprising a) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) composition having a first low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 200-500 Da) and a second low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 500-2000 Da) and b) a mucoadhesive in polymer. Alternatively, composition may comprise a) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) composition having a first low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 200-500 Da) and a second low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 500-2000 Da), b) a water insoluble polymer and c) a mucoadhesive polymer. Furthermore, the composition may further comprise one or more drugs. Also provided are methods of manufacturing and administering the compositions described herein, which are used as biodegradable, injectable mucoadhesive low-viscosity pastes.

Compositions and methods are provided for lamellar and defect reconstruction of corneal stromal tissue using supramolecular complexes that form a defined gel structure in situ. Such gels can serve as cellular or acellular matrices with or without certain encapsulated therapeutic factors to facilitate tissue regeneration such as multilayered re-epithelialization of wounded corneal stromal tissue.
