A suspo-emulsion dosage form of anthelmintic drug such as Ivermectin or niclosamide with essential oils was proposed to be used for administration to the nasal cavity and lungs. The suspo-emulsion formulation is to be administered using a suitable medical device. The composition may be used to treat or prevent viral infections such as Covid-19.

A pharmaceutical composition is disclosed, including: an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, wherein the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is a protein or a peptide; a buffer; and optionally one or more additional components each selected from the group consisting of a stabilizer and a tonicity modifier, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is adapted for administration via inhalation. Kits including the pharmaceutical composition of same and method of using same for treating an inflammatory disorder of lower airways in a human subject are also disclosed.

Provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, minimizing and/or substantially inhibiting inflammation associated with a respiratory virus such as COVID-19 and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), comprising administering to the lungs of a subject, by inhalation, a composition comprising an effective amount of an active agent such as a corticosteroid (for example, loteprednol etabonate (LE)). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an active agent, such as a corticosteroid (for example, loteprednol etabonate (LE)) in an amount effective to treat, minimize and/or substantially inhibit inflammation associated with the respiratory virus, such as COVID-19 and/or ARDS.

The present invention is directed to methods of treating nasal and/or ophthalmic diseases, symptoms, or disorders that are therapeutically responsive to corticosteroid therapy by delivering aqueous solution formulations comprising a corticosteroid to nasal and ophthalmic tissues. The invention is also directed to methods, systems, devices, and compositions for delivering aqueous solution formulations comprising a corticosteroid and an antihistamine to nasal and ophthalmic tissues.

In alternative embodiments, provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising combinations of drugs, including products of manufacture and kits, and methods for using them, for treating, preventing, ameliorating, slowing the progress of, decreasing the severity of or preventing a coronavirus infection, or a COVID-19 or a 2019-nCoV (or so-called Wuhan coronavirus) infection, or an infection caused by a virus in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, or a virus in the family Coronaviridae, or a virus in the order Nidovirales. In alternative embodiments, combinations, or cocktails, of a drug or drugs as provided herein are administered either enterally, parenterally and/or by inhalation. In alternative embodiments, combinations, or cocktails, of drugs as provided herein are used to block intracellular metabolic pathways and prevent progression of the infection to clinical illness and death. In alternative embodiments, novel aerosol, spray or mist or powder formulations for inhalation are provided. In alternative embodiments, provided are therapeutic combinations of drugs or a drug, a pharmaceutical dosage form, a drug delivery device, or a product of manufacture, comprising: opaganib or YELIVA™, or opaganib or YELIVA™ and oral and/or inhaled chloroquine (or ARALEN™) chloroquine phosphate, chloroquine diphosphate and/or hydroxychloroquine (optionally, PLAQUENIL™), with or without azithromycin, wherein optionally each or all of the opaganib, the chloroquine (or ARALEN™), chloroquine phosphate, chloroquine diphosphate and/or hydroxychloroquine (optionally, PLAQUENIL™), and/or azithromycin, and others, are in or formulated as a formulation for inhalation, for example, formulated as an aerosol, spray, mist, liquid or powder.

The present invention provides methods of treating airway reflux using an HIV protease inhibitor that is capable of binding to and inhibiting the enzymatic activity of pepsin. Compositions comprising aerosolized formulations of HIV protease inhibitors are also provided.

The application belongs to the field of natural medicines, and particularly relates to a Tibetan four-ingredient lung-clearing mixture, its raw material consists of Rhododendron anthopogonoidesoides, Gentiana flower, Berberis bark and Herba Corydalis to obtain extracts thereof as an active ingredient. The combination of Rhododendron anthopogonoidesoides, Gentiana flower, Berberis bark and Herba Corydalis could realize synergy effects in effectively improving the anti-inflammatory effects and treatment effects of chronic obstructive pneumonia, and could also improve the lung injury repair function.

The present disclosure provides for methods of treating a patient with a CYP3A4 substrate drug, wherein the patient is treated with posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient stops posaconazole treatment, waits for at least 2 days, and then is treated with the CYP3A4 substrate drug as soon as it is safe to do so. In some embodiments, treatment with the CYP3A4 substrate drug is delayed for about 2-42 days after stopping posaconazole. In some embodiments, the patient is treated with a reduced dose of the CYP3A4 substrate drug for about 2-42 days.

The invention provides the use of a formulation containing cyclodextrine, quercetin and zinc, at appropriate concentrations to mitigate infections by enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2, influenza and HIV/AIDS, when administered via pulmonary and dermal route. While the different forms of cyclodextrin prevent the entry of coated virus into host cells by extracting and sequestering cholesterol molecules at the virus coat and at the host cell plasma membrane, the natural plant-based ionophore quercetin in the formulation, enables cellular entry of zinc, inhibiting viral replication by altering polymerase activity in the host cell. Hence cyclodextrine, and quercetin plus zinc, either in combination or in tandem order of administration, serves both as prophylactic and therapeutic.

The invention relates to a vaping compound which is comprised of a vaporizing base which is formed from the following ingredients propylene glycol, MCT oil and vegetable glycerin, or combination of the oils, flavoring, water and one or more active ingredients.
