The current invention is based on the determination that a S1P receptor modulator compound of formula (I):

##STR00001##

decreases the heart rate of a subject to which it is administered by about 5 beats/min or less daily, or about 4 beats/min or less daily, or about 3 beats/min or less daily, or about 2 beats/min or less daily, wherein the S1P receptor modulator is administered at an initial daily dosage which is substantially the same as the standard daily therapeutic dosage.

A method for treating patients with COVID-19 and/or other respiratory conditions includes administering eighty-five milligrams of dapsone twice daily for twenty-one days. A variety of dapsone formulations and delivery devices are disclosed, including an inhaler, nasal spray, nasal gel, otic formulation, intravenous formulation, oral solution, oral suspension, patch and suppository.

Embodiments of stable topical compositions for administering fenoldopam (compound (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof are disclosed for immediate or continued slow release administration, over prolonged periods of time with safe minimal systemic exposure of fenoldopam (reducing the risk for lowering blood pressure). The compositions include those compositions that increase the stability and skin absorption of the drug, particularly anhydrous semi-solid compositions and creams. This is accomplished by incorporating fenoldopam in soluble or dispersed form into semi-solid compositions like ointments or anhydrous gels that are not irritative. Embodiments of methods for using the topical compositions in the treatment of dermatological disorders including psoriasis, alopecia atopic dermatitis and vitiligo are disclosed. ##STR00001##

A method for delivering a therapeutic agent to a subject from a transdermal delivery system is described, where the therapeutic agent (i) has a half-life in the blood when delivered orally of greater than about 48 hours and (ii) is for the treatment of a chronic condition. The transdermal delivery system achieves transdermal delivery of the therapeutic agent at steady state that is bioequivalent to administration of the therapeutic agent orally, wherein bioequivalency is established by (a) a 90% confidence interval of the relative mean Cmax and AUC of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery between 0.70 and 1.43 or between 0.80 and 1.25, or (b) a 90% confidence interval of the ratios for AUC and Cmax of the therapeutic agent administered from the transdermal delivery system and via oral delivery between 0.70 and 1.43 or between 0.80 and 1.25.

The present invention relates to a transdermal absorption preparation that can maintain a blood concentration sufficient to exert the efficacy of tandospirone, and also shows good storage stability against heat, humidity, and light. According to the present invention, a transdermal absorption preparation containing tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and levulinic acid, which is superior in the skin permeability of tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the preparation, and shows good preservation stability against heat and light can be provided.

Transdermal medicaments containing cannabidiol (CBD) for use in the amelioration of conditions, including anxiety, depression, pain, inflammation, epilepsy, parkinson's disease, oxidative injury and nausea; and a method for preparing same.

To provide a transdermal drug delivery patch that can be suitably used for an immediate release application of a pharmaceutical with a comparatively low molecular weight. A transdermal drug delivery patch, provided with a matrix and at least one drug disposed within the matrix, wherein the matrix has a water holding capacity of 10 mg/cm.sup.2 or less, and the drug is a pharmaceutical having a molecular weight of 5000 or less.

The present disclosure relates to a medicinal composition and related methods using Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) as a key active ingredient for treating pain associated with chemotherapy-induced palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (Hand-Foot Syndrome). The medicinal composition may be administered topically as a gel, ointment, cream, lotion, suspension, spray, transdermal patch or liquid alone or in combination with other topical steroids, topical NSAIDS, antiarrhythmics, moisturizers, capsaicin, emollients, herbal remedies and essential or carrier oils. The medicinal composition eliminates the pain and burning sensation experienced with palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia and allows patients to carry on with normal daily activities after a session of chemotherapy.

A method for treating an influenza virus infection is described. The disclosed method generally involves administering an effective amount of a compound, for example baloxavir marboxil, to a subject having an influenza virus infection and at least one complication risk factor. Generally, the amount is effective such that a reduction in a time to improvement of at leat one symptom of an influenza virus infection is statistically significant as compared to that of a non-treated subject.

Described herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising diclofenac and therapeutic methods for using them effective with once daily administration.
