Abstract: The present invention includes a package for a medicament for treating infectious disease. The package comprises a first vessel and a second vessel. The first vessel contains a solid mixture of a biguanide antimicrobial agent and a polyol. The polyol has a melting point above room temperature. The ratio of biguanide antimicrobial agent to polyol is a maximum of about 1:5 and a minimum of about 1:1000. The solid mixture comprises less than 10 wt. % water based upon its total weight. The second vessel comprises an aqueous diluent. The present invention includes methods of manufacturing the package and methods of treating infection.

Abstract: A composition useful for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease condition involving abnormal angiogenesis comprises at least two therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of compounds that interact with and inhibit a downstream activity of extracellular VEGF, compounds that interact with at least a VEGF receptor and render it substantially unavailable for interacting with VEGF, and compounds that reduce a level of expression of VEGF. The invention also includes a method for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease condition involving abnormal angiogenesis using such a composition.
