Abstract: The present invention relates to topical compositions that can be used to treat melanin or pigmentation disorders and methods of using the compositions.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to compositions, kits and methods for non-surgical reduction of localized subcutaneous fat such as that associated with a cosmetic fat accumulation. The methods employ compositions having specific concentrations of a salt of deoxycholic acid which provides a superior fat cell necrosis with modest adverse effects. Examples of localized subcutaneous fat are found in the submental area, in particular under the chin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition that can be used to treat skin laxity, cellulite and to firm, smooth and/or tone skin.

Abstract: Provided herein are poly(ether ester) multi-block copolymers (PEE-MBCP). Also provided herein are injectable delivery systems or pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a PEE-MBCP provided herein, either alone or in combination with a binding protein, such as abicipar. Also provided herein are methods of using these injectable delivery systems or pharmaceutical compositions provided herein for the treatment of ocular disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition that can be used to treat skin aging of the neck and décolletage area.

Abstract: Formulations and methods for providing progestin-only contraception to a woman including transdermally administering to a woman a formulation having a contraceptively effective amount of progestin-only hormonal agents as part of a contraceptive regimen.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a variety of disorders related to fat accumulation in humans with pharmaceutical formulations containing deoxycholic acid.

Abstract: Bile acids and related compositions and methods of synthesis and use. More specifically, deoxycholic acid and related compositions, said compositions being free of all moieties of animal origin and free of pyrogenic moieties.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an aqueous pharmaceutical formulation comprising less than about 5% w/v sodium deoxycholate maintained at a pH sufficient to substantially inhibit precipitation of the sodium deoxycholate. Also disclosed herein, are methods for inhibiting precipitation of sodium deoxycholate in an aqueous solution comprising less than about 5% w/v of sodium deoxycholate, said method comprising maintaining pH of the solution of from at least about 8.0 to about 8.5.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising from about 0.4% w/v to less than about 2% w/v of a salt of deoxycholic acid, wherein the composition is maintained at a pH from about 8.1 to about 8.5 such that the composition is stabilized against precipitation. Also disclosed herein, are methods for stabilizing an aqueous pharmaceutical composition comprising from about 0.4% w/v to less than about 2% w/v of a salt of deoxycholic acid against precipitation, said method comprising maintaining pH of the solution from about 8.1 to about 8.5.
