A method of providing sustained-release topical treatment of a condition affecting an internal body cavity is provided. The method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a thermoreversible hydrogel and an active pharmaceutical ingredient to an internal body cavity of the urinary tract. After administration, the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in urothelium of the internal body cavity is increased when compared to the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient in urothelium of the internal body cavity following administration of a control composition comprising the same dose and concentration of active pharmaceutical ingredient in water.

Methods for using compositions comprising a Granzyme B inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for treating and/or preventing blistering and/or peeling of a skin of a subject are provided. Also provided are methods for using the compositions to improve the healing of a blistered or area of peeled skin of a subject. The compositions can be formulated for oral administration, nasal administration, topical administration, subcorneal administration, intra-epidermal administration, sub-epidermal administration, or for administration by injection.

A method for treating influenza is described. The disclosed method generally involves administering an effective amount of a compound, for example baloxavir marboxil, to a subject having influenza, where the compound is administered initially at least about 48 hours after an onset of influenza. Generally, the effective amount is sufficient to alleviate a symptom of influenza in the subject as compared to a symptom that the subject has when the compound is first administered to the subject.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and pharmaceutical articles comprising such compositions wherein the compositions comprise multiple dosage forms each comprising a core and an enteric coating, wherein the core comprises at least one compound stimulating enteroendocrine cells to release at least one enterokine, wherein the size of the dosage forms, with respect to the largest dimension of the dosage forms, provides for entry of the dosage forms into the intestine of a subject independent of gastric emptying mechanisms, and wherein the composition further comprises one or more gelling agents. The invention also relates to the treatment and/or prevention of conditions amenable to stimulation of enterokine release by enteroendocrine cells.
