Disclosed is a method for treating ear disorders, including the administration of (+)-azasetron, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof.

Provided is a novel compound that has an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect. More specifically, provided is a compound represented by formula (1a), (1b) or (11) having an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. By using this compound either in combination with a β-lactam drug or alone, a useful preventive or therapeutic agent for bacterial infections is provided. Also provided are useful preventive or therapeutic agents for treating various diseases with the combined use of the aforesaid compound and β-lactam drugs.

The present invention relates to specific doses of and dosing regimens for using a 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid compound in treating or preventing diseases associated with nonsense mutations. In particular, the invention relates to specific doses and dosing regimens for the use of 3-[5-(2-fluoro-phenyl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-benzoic acid in mammals having diseases associated with nonsense mutations.

The present invention relates to methods for preventing, reducing, or treating the incidence and/or severity of a disorder caused by stress-induced cellular damage in the ear of a subject, such as vestibular disorders, hearing impairment, and conditions related to hair cell degeneration or death. Specifically, this invention pertains to formulations comprising probucol or a probucol ester, a bioavailability-enhancing compound comprising a bile acid, and optionally a carrier. The administration of these formulations can treat hearing loss and/or hair cell degeneration or death.
