Abstract: A blister pack wherein the material between the blisters is reinforced to confer rigidity relative to flexing deformation of the blister pack. The reinforcement may take the form of a reinforcing slab or sheet, or ribs in the blister pack material. The invention facilitates handling by users with weak or deformed hands.
Abstract: A composition is provided for ingestion by mammals for in vivo conversion of alpha-D-galactoside comprising an amount of alpha-galactosidase effective to hydrolyze alpha-D-galactoside to D-galactose, and non-toxic, ingestible excipient(s) for said alpha-galactosidase. Gastric distress in mammals due to ingestion of foods containing alpha-D-galactoside may be reduced by ingesting the foregoing composition of alpha-galactosidase and non-toxic, ingestible excipient contemporaneously with the ingestion of said food in an amount effective to hydrolyze the alpha-D-galactoside to D-galactose.
Abstract: Compounds of 1,4,5-substituted imidazole wherein one of the substituents can be a substituted pyrimidine, pyridazine or 1,2,4-triazine. These compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions are used in treating cytokine mediated diseases by inhibiting the production of IL-1 (interleukin-1), IL-8 (interleukin-8), and TNF (tumor necrosis factor).

Abstract: Acidic oral compositions having reduced tooth erosion characteristics, especially acid beverages such as fruit juice drink concentrates, or oral healthcare products such as mouthwashes, are prepared by adding a calcium compound to the acid composition so that the mol ratio of calcium to acid ranges from 0.3 to 0.8, and the pH of the composition, if necessary after adjustment with an alkali, is from 3.5 to 4.5.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a swallow tablet or capsule formulation comprising paracetamol, sodium bicarbonate, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
Abstract: This invention relates to novel spiro compound derivatives of benzoisothiazolyl-urea and -thiourea and compositions thereof. These compounds are useful in the treatment of disease states mediated by the chemokine, Interleukin-8 (IL-8).
Abstract: This invention relates to the novel pyrazole compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
This invention also relates to a method of inhibiting cytokines by a compound of formula (I) and the treatment of cytokines mediated diseases, in mammals, by administration of said compound.
