A method for preparing the compound bitter melon peptide (BMP) oral medicine is also provided.

The present invention relates to a composition/formulation for reducing uremic toxins, particularly protein bound uremic toxins in chronic kidney disease (CKD). More particularly, the pharmaceutical composition/formulation comprises a synergistic combination of Inulin and Betaine or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts for reducing protein bound uremic toxins. The present application also provides various compositions/formulations and process of preparing the same.

A fulvestrant pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof are provided. The fulvestrant pharmaceutical composition contains fulvestrant solid particles. The particle size of the fulvestrant solid particles satisfies that Dv(10) is selected from 0.400 micrometers to 6.000 micrometers, Dv(50) is selected from 0.700 micrometers to 6.000 micrometers, and Dv(90) is selected from 1.000 micrometers to 6.000 micrometers, provided that Dv(10) is not 0.400 micrometers, Dv(50) is not 0.700 micrometers, and Dv(90) is not 1.000 micrometers. The fulvestrant pharmaceutical composition has a long-acting sustained release.

A cannabis composition is disclosed. The cannabis composition comprises a cannabis extract, which comprises a cannabis phytocompound. A functional composition comprising the cannabis composition and a carrier is also provided, and adapted for administration to a subject via topical or oral application. A method of preparing the functional composition is also provided. A method of ameliorating a condition with the functional composition is further provided, and comprises administering the functional composition to a subject in an amount effective to elicit a biological response from the subject. The cannabis composition can be a multi-hemp extract composition. The multi-hemp extract composition generally comprises a first hemp component comprising a hemp dehydrate, a second hemp component different from the first hemp component, with the second hemp component comprising a hemp juice, and a third hemp component different from the first and second hemp components, with the third hemp component comprising a hemp extract.

Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., oral dosage formulations) comprising (S)-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-((2-fluoro-4-((3-morpholinoazetidin-1-yl)methyl)benzyl)amino)isoindoline-1,3-dione, or an enantiomer, mixture of enantiomers, tautomer, isotopolog, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a carrier or diluent. Also provided herein are methods of preparing and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions.

Nitric oxide (NO) generating compositions can include a nitrite component, an acidifying component, and a support material configured to carry one of the nitrite component and the acidifying agent. In some examples, the support material can minimize NO generation prior to addition of an activating amount of a suitable solvent.
