Microneedle arrays for introducing an active ingredient through a skin surface of a patient can include a base layer, a plurality of microneedles projecting from the base layer, and a shell layer having an active ingredient. Each of the microneedles includes an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, in which the proximal portion is attached to the base layer. Each of the microneedles can also include at least one dissolvable polymer. The active ingredient is incorporated in the shell layer, which extends around at least a portion of the elongate body.

The present invention relates to antibodies that bind to TRPV1. The invention also relates to certain epitopes of the protein TRPV1. The invention also relates to immunoconjugates and compositions comprising such antibodies. The invention also provides methods of producing such antibodies. The invention further provides the use of such antibodies for therapeutic purposes, for example in the treatment of pain.

A pharmaceutical composition generally includes a therapeutic antibody, or fragment thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The therapeutic antibody specifically binds to a target peptide that mediates pain in a subject. The composition may be administered to a subject experiencing pain to at least partially alleviate the pain.

An aqueous composition for intranasal administration by spray including a mixture of (a) sufentanil, a salt and/or analogs thereof and (b) ketamine, a salt and analogs thereof in solution. Also, an aqueous composition for intranasal administration by spray including (a) sufentanil, a salt and/or analogs thereof in solution and an aqueous composition for intranasal administration by spray including (b) ketamine, a salt and/or analogs thereof in solution, for use in a method for the treatment or prevention of pain in a child. The composition is useful for treating or preventing pain in a child of 17 years or younger. The composition is delivered from a nasal spray device to treat or prevent the pain such as procedural pain in a child.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage forms, for example to a tamper resistant dosage form including an opioid analgesic, and processes of manufacture, uses, and methods of treatment thereof.

The present invention relates to a peptide with anti-inflammatory activity, wherein the peptide comprises at least one amino acid sequence among SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179, the peptide has above 80% homology of amino acid sequence with above-mentioned sequences, or the peptide is the fragment of the above-mentioned peptides. The present invention also relates to an inflammatory composition comprising the above mentioned peptides. According to the present invention, the peptides that have at least one amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179 shows outstanding efficacy in both suppressing inflammation and in prophylactic means. Therefore, the composition comprising the peptides of this invention can be used as anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical compositions or as cosmetic compositions, in turn, treating and preventing a variety of different types of inflammatory diseases.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a plurality of substantially spherical microspheres comprising at least one API substantially dispersed in at least one polymer and a lyoprotectant on an outside surface of the plurality of substantially spherical microspheres, wherein the plurality of substantially spherical microspheres have a D99[num] particle diameter of less than about 10 μm; a D90[num] circularity value of from about 0.8 to about 1.0; and comprise API in a weight of about 20 to about 40 wt. % of the polymer. Other embodiments relate to injectable compositions comprising such microspheres and methods of treating a number of conditions by administering such injectable compositions to a subject.

The present invention relates to an anti-IL-6 agent for use in a method of preventing or treating post-operative pain in an individual.
