The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of an FXR agonist and at least one lipid lowering agent (e.g., PPAR-alpha agonist, PPAR-delta agonist, PPAR-alpha and delta dual agonist, and/or statin). Also disclosed is use of the combination for the treatment or prevention of a FXR mediated disease or condition, such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), portal hypertension, bile acid diarrhea, NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease), NASH (non-alcohol-induced steatohepatitis), and other chronic liver diseases. The combination of the present invention is useful for the treatment or prevention of conditions related to elevated lipid and liver enzyme levels. The present invention also relates to packs or kits including the pharmaceutical combination.

A composition comprises: a base oil; an additive comprising a copolymer comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic units; and a drug. The copolymer may for example have a comb structure in which the hydrophobic units and hydrophilic units are pendant chains on a backbone of the copolymer. The hydrophobic units and hydrophilic units may for example comprise polydimethylsiloxane moieties and ethylene glycol residues respectively. The composition may for example be used as a tamponade or as a component for a tamponade administered to the eye. The invention is useful for solubilising and/or releasing drugs.
