Abstract: Provided herein are pharmaceutical formulations, methods, and systems for treating regional fat deposits and fat-related conditions and indications. Methods comprise administering a pharmaceutical formulation consisting essentially of a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, for example, salmeterol, suitable for subcutaneous administration. Methods further comprise administering a pharmaceutical formulation that is suitable for subcutaneous injection comprising: (a) a lipophilic long-acting selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and/or glucocorticosteroid, or a salt, optical isomer, racemate, solvate, or polymorph thereof; and (b) at least one subcutaneously acceptable inactive ingredient.

Abstract: Compositions, formulations, methods, and systems for treating regional fat deposits comprise contacting a targeted fat deposit with a composition comprising long acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a compound that reduces desensitization of the target tissue to the long acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, for example, glucocorticosteroids and/or ketotifen. Embodiments of the composition are administered, for example, by injection, and/or transdermally.

Abstract: Provided herein are lyophilized cake forms of fluticasone, salmeterol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a combination thereof which provides room temperature stability for an extended period of time. Upon reconstitution with an acceptable solvent (e.g., a carrier or diluent), the reconstituted pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulation provides a sterile, non-suspension form suitable for parenteral injectable administration, including subcutaneous injection.
