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.

Embodiments described herein relates to compositions and methods of preventing and/or treating itch in a subject using a therapeutically effective amount of a MRG receptor antagonist. e.g., a tripeptide QWF. In one embodiment, the itch is a non-histamine mediated itch.

The present invention relates to extended release compositions of an amino-C2-C6-alkyl nitrate and of pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in particular 2-aminoethyl nitrate, and to fixed dose combinations with further pharmaceutically active drug substances. 2-Aminoethyl nitrate does not provoke nitrate tolerance, but has a very short half life in physiological systems.

The present invention relates to transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) for the transdermal administration of fingolimod.

A method for treating influenza is described. The disclosed method generally involves administering an effective amount of a compound, for example baloxavir marboxil, to a subject having influenza, where the compound is administered initially at least about 48 hours after an onset of influenza. Generally, the effective amount is sufficient to alleviate a symptom of influenza in the subject as compared to a symptom that the subject has when the compound is first administered to the subject.

A drug delivery system is provided for transdermally administering a psychedelic active agent to a subject to provide continuous microdose plasma levels of the active agent or a metabolite thereof during an extended drug delivery time period. The transdermal drug delivery system comprises a drug reservoir that houses a formulation containing the active agent, a combination of a solubilizer-type permeation enhancer and a plasticizer-type permeation enhancer, and a pH stabilizing agent. The pH stabilizing agent brings the pH of the formulation, at the system-skin interface, and/or within the skin as the active agent is transported across the skin from the skin surface to the bloodstream, to within 25% of the pKa of the active agent. Formulations and methods of use are also provided.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for the treatment of a patient suffering from spasticity comprising administering to said patient a modified release dosage form comprising tizanidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention relates to a method of administering a transdermal patch preparation comprising tizanidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject in need thereof, wherein the transdermal patch preparation releases about 4 mg to about 36 mg of tizanidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for at least about 24 hours.

The present technology relates to methods of treating one or more behavioral symptoms (for example, anxiety) of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in a subject by administering, e.g., transdermally, an effective amount of cannabidiol (CBD) to the subject wherein one or more behavioral and/or psychiatric symptoms of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are treated in the subject

The present invention relates to a mucoadhesive layer, preferably mucoadhesive buccal layer, comprising a non-nanoparticulate macrolide. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a mucoadhesive film, preferably mucoadhesive buccal film, comprising a mucoadhesive layer comprising a non-nanoparticulate macrolide, and further comprising a backing layer. The present invention also relates to a mucoadhesive film, preferably mucoadhesive buccal film, comprising a mucoadhesive layer, a backing layer, and an intermediate layer. The present invention further relates to a mucoadhesive layer or mucoadhesive film for use as a medicament and for use in preventing and/or treating transplant rejection. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method of preparing a mucoadhesive film.

Transdermal drug delivery systems and methods of fabricating such systems are provided. The active pharmaceutical ingredient can be lenalidomide or other immunomodulatory agents. More particularly, the present invention is directed to improving the solubility of lenalidomide and other immunomodulatory imide compounds and improving the permeation of such compounds through the skin.
