The present invention relates to a composite agent comprising polmacoxib and pregabalin. The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition and a drug or pain reliever, which each comprise the two active ingredients of polmacoxib and pregabalin and, more particularly, to a drug or pain reliever for treatment of moderately severe, acute, chronic, or neuropathic pain attributed to inflammation and various factors, an effect thereof, and a use thereof.

Oral formulations comprising at least one botanical extract of a psychotropic macrofungus and at least one mouthfeel experience enhancer are described. For example, methods and materials for preparing a dissolvable lozenge comprising a combination of psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin, psilocin, norpsilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, serotonin, bufotenin, β-carboline alkaloids, muscarine, muscimol, muscazone, and ibotenic acid extracted from one or more psychotropic fungi and Szechuan peppercorn or an extract thereof are provided.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a T.sub.max of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

An oral methylphenidate extended release tablet is described, which can be scored and still retain its extended release profile. The tablet contains a combination of an uncoated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex, a barrier coated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex-matrix, and an uncomplexed methylphenidate active component. Following administration of a single dose of the extended release methylphenidate chewable tablet, a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate is reached in less than about 20 minutes and the composition provides a twelve-hour extended release profile.

The present invention relates to a tableted chewing gum composition for oral administration of cannabinoids, the composition comprising water-soluble chewing gum ingredients and water-insoluble gum base located in a plurality of particles, wherein the chewing gum composition comprises one or more cannabinoids, and wherein the chewing gum composition generates saliva and delivers more than 20% by weight of the one or more cannabinoids to the oral mucosa during the first 5 minutes of chewing.

The present disclosure generally relates to preservation and delivery of a bioactive composition to a biological subject. In some embodiments, the bioactive composition include bioactives of at least one of microbes, cells, tissue, vaccines, probiotics, antibiotics, vitamins, or mRNA. Some embodiments include preserving the bioactive composition using vitrification of the bioactive composition in a vitrifying mixture of intrinsically disordered proteins and saccharides. The vitrified bioactive composition is configured to release the bioactive composition from the vitrifying mixture. Some embodiments include administering the vitrified bioactive composition to the biological subject, such that the administering includes applying the vitrified bioactive composition to a microbiome of the biological subject. Some embodiments may further include providing an enteric encapsulation of the vitrified bioactive composition that is configured to protect the vitrified bioactive composition from a first set of environmental conditions, but release the vitrified bioactive composition in a second set of environmental conditions.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising an NSAID such as meloxicam and/or rizatriptan in combination with a cyclodextrin and/or a carbonate or a bicarbonate. These compositions may be orally administered, for example, to improve the bioavailability or pharmacokinetics of the NSAID for the treatment of pain such as migraine, arthritis, and other conditions. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating pain, such as migraine, comprising administering meloxicam and rizatriptan to a human being suffering from pain, such as migraine. For migraine, these methods may be particularly useful when the meloxicam and rizatriptan are administered while the human being is suffering from an acute attack of migraine pain or migraine aura. In some embodiments, the combination of meloxicam and rizatriptan may be administered in a manner that results in a T.sub.max of meloxicam of 3 hours or less.

Described herein are unit oral dose compositions that reduce the severity of heartburn and/or upset stomach or the risk of the occurrence of heartburn and/or upset stomach in a human in need of taking ibuprofen or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the treatment of acute pain wherein the human is not experiencing heartburn and/or upset stomach prior to the oral administration of the unit oral dose composition comprising orally administering to the human of a unit oral dose composition comprising (i) ibuprofen or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the amount of ibuprofen or the conjugate base of ibuprofen of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ibuprofen is a dosage from about 50 mg to about 400 mg per unit oral dose composition and (ii) famotidine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein famotidine or the conjugate acid of famotidine of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of famotidine is at a dosage from about 3 mg to about 20 mg per unit oral dose composition, wherein the dissolution rate of famotidine or the conjugate acid of famotidine of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of famotidine in the unit oral dose composition in said human at a specified time within 45 minutes of administration of said unit oral dose composition to said human is greater than the dissolution rate of ibuprofen or the conjugate base of ibuprofen of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of ibuprofen in the unit oral dose composition in said human at the same specified time.

The present invention relates to methods for treating, preventing, or reducing the risk of microbial infections while minimizing adverse gastrointestinal effects using a two-stage dosing regimen comprising about 1 to about 7 days of intravenous administration followed by about 1 to about 14 days of oral administration of an antimicrobial agent.

The invention provides a method for treating T2DM, obesity or overweight or for weight management control by administering to an mammal (e.g. a human) in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition twice daily in an oral dosage form, wherein the pharmaceutical composition contains 2-[(4-{6-[(4-cyano-2-fluorobenzyl)oxy]pyridin-2-yl}piperidin-1-yl)methyl]-1-5 [(2S)-oxetan-2-ylmethyl]-1H-benzimidazole carboxylic acid, or a pharmaceutically salt thereof [such as its tris salt]. Moreover, the invention provides oral compositions/formulations for the methods of treatment described herein.
