Compositions for the treatment of shock, autodigestion, multi-organ failure, intestinal ischemia, or intestinal hypoperfusion are provided.

This invention discloses a pharmaceutical formula for arthritis treatment and/or prevention. The formula contains the following raw materials: a selenium-containing inorganic compound and a zinc-containing inorganic compound. The pharmaceutical formula described herein could be manufactured for topic application and provide a faster and safer treatment for various inflammatory joint pains. Pharmacodynamics results show that the invented pharmaceutical formula can significantly reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines in the joint synovial fluid in arthritis rabbit model, and the formulated ointment can achieve better efficacy compared with Voltaren™ (diclofenac) ointment; therefore the proposed formula has promising clinical application.

The present invention is directed to a method of treating a fungal infection comprising administering topically, to a subject in need thereof, an anti-fungal effective amount of roflumilast. Preferably, topically administered roflumilast is used to treat fungal infections, fungal growth of and/or hypersensitivity to the fungi Malassezia spp. Patients may also be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, dupilumab facial redness, Tinea versicolor, Pityriasis versicolor, Tinea circinata, Tinea pedis, Tinea unguium, Tinea manus, Tinea cruris, Tinea corporis, Tinea faciei, Tinea capitis, and/or Tinea incognito. Topically administered roflumilast is a quick and effective antifungal agent and presents a viable alternative to current antifungal treatments.
