Methods of weight management for a subject are provided. Generally the methods comprise: administering an effective amount to the small intestine and/or large intestine of the subject of at least one agent that increases oxygen tension and/or redox potential and/or pH in the colon of the subject to thereby manage the weight of the subject. Also provided are compositions comprising at least one agent that increases oxygen tension and/or redox potential and/or pH, wherein the composition is formulated for delivery of an effective amount of the at least one agent to the small intestine and/or large intestine of a subject following oral administration of the composition to the subject.

Disclosed are compositions, methods of treatment using the compositions and methods of preparing the compositions for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The compositions include succinic acid and an API selected from the group consisting of salicylic acid, azelaic acid, picolinic acid, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotic, retinoid and combinations thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation. The compositions that include the combination of succinic acid and another API produce improved efficacy in treating acne vulgaris.

Dental treatments and methods, including treating gum disease, using peroxide gel and a viscous antibacterial agent including tetracycline to chemically debride and curettage a treatment area. Treatments and methods include non-surgically scaling and root plaining the treatment area with dental tools such as periodontal scalers and/or curettes during the active period of the chemical debridement. The working surfaces of dental tools can be sharpened for optimal root and tooth surfacing during treatment. Treatment can include instructions for co-therapy by or on behalf of treatment subjects between visits and for maintenance care.
