PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MELOXICAM
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.
METHYLENE BLUE AND RIBOFLAVIN FOR PROPHYLACTIC AND THERAPEUTIC ANTI-VIRAL THERAPY
Viral epidemic infections due to influenza, or coronaviruses, particularly influenza A and SARS-CoV-1 and -2 virus cause significant morbidity and mortality. The significant mutation rate of this group of viruses renders existing vaccines or antiviral drugs often useless, creating a need for broad acting, viral DNA or RNA sequence independent antiviral drugs. This invention describes the repurposing of methylene blue and riboflavin, two FDA approved drugs with an excellent safety profile. Using a virus neutralization assay of H1N1 Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2, the significant viricidal activity of both drugs at pharmacological dose and under physiological conditions is demonstrated. In vivo prophylactic and therapeutic use of the drugs for anti-viral application in an animal model is described.
