A method administers quaternary ammonium anti-cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonists in combination with acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitors to treat either cognitive impairment or acute delirium. This therapy results in a modification of a cognitive disorder or disease, namely a slow down in the disease progression. In one preferred embodiment, the disease is dementia with Lewy Bodies. New formulations for quaternary ammonium anti-cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonists are also disclosed.

Provided in some embodiments are titration packages, kits, and methods of treating pulmonary arterial hypertension comprising prescribing and/or administering to a patient in need thereof 2-(((1r,4r)-4-(((4-chloropbenyl)(pbenyl)carbamoyloxy)methyl)cyclohexyi)methoxy)acetic acid (Compound 1), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, via a titration scheme that comprises the up-titration of Compound 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, over a period of no more than about nine weeks until an optimized dose is administered.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides and/or compounds that modulate the expression of and/or function of Filaggrin (FLG), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Filaggrin (FLG). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and/or compounds and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of FLG.

A drug delivery system is provided in the form of a controlled release, bioerodible pellet for subdermal implantation. The pellet is bioerodible, and provides for the sustained release of a pharmacologically active agent over an extended time period. As such, the drug delivery system finds significant utility in chronic drug administration. Bioerosion products are water soluble, bioresorbed, or both, obviating the need for surgical removal of the implant. Methods for manufacturing and using the drug delivery system are also provided.

The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system for the transdermal administration of an active agent comprising an active agent-containing layer structure, said active agent-containing layer structure comprising: A) a backing layer; B) an active agent-containing layer comprising at least one acrylic polymer; C) a skin contact layer; and wherein the skin contact layer is an adhesive layer comprising a silicone gel adhesive.
