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.

The present invention provides liquid oral dosage form of lipid lowering agent suitable for oral administration to human or animals.

The present invention discloses a solution formulation for aerosol inhalation of naringenin and preparation method thereof. The formulation is prepared from 1 part by weight of naringenin, 15-30 parts by weight of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, a buffer-salt solution and an appropriate amount of an excipient. The preparation method includes: preparing a buffer-salt solution of a pH value of 7-8.5 by using the buffer salt, adding the naringenin into the buffer-salt solution, then adding the hydroxypropyl P-cyclodextrin, shaking in a constant-temperature air bath till complete dissolving and coating, adding an appropriate amount of the excipient, filtering, filling and sterilizing. The present invention, by firstly increasing the solubility of the free naringenin in the solvent by adjusting the pH value, and then coating the naringenin with the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, significantly increases the overall concentration of the naringenin in the solvent.

An inhalable dry powder formulation containing SAE-CD and an active agent is provided. The formulation is adapted for administration by DPI. The SAE-CD serves as a carrier rather than as an absorption enhancer. The average particle size of the SAE-CD is large enough to preclude (for the most part) pulmonary deposition thereof. Following release from the DPI device, the SAE-CD-containing particles dissociate from the active agent-containing particles in the buccal cavity or throat, after which the active agent-containing particles continue deeper into the respiratory tract. The physicochemical and morphological properties of the SAE-CD are easily modified to permit optimization of active agent and carrier interactions. Drugs having a positive, neutral or negative electrostatic charge can be delivered by DPI when SAE-CD is used as a carrier.
