  • Patent number: 9415054
    Abstract: A transdermal composition and method to be used as a treatment for plantar fasciitis is provided. Transdermal composition may include a combination of about 2% w/w to about 5% w/w of piroxicam and about 95% w/w to about 98% w/w of a natural permeation enhancement (NPE) composition. The NPE composition may increase the skin permeability, enhancing the transdermal delivery flux of piroxicam via a single transdermal application, thus, reducing the time of treatment. Transdermal composition may be applied upon an area of treatment, which may include myofascial trigger points linked to pain caused by plantar fasciitis, thus treating this condition more effectively. Moreover, employing a long acting NSAID such as piroxicam, in combination with the NPE composition, may act as a faster and effective treatment for an inflammatory process compared to typical treatments.

  • Publication number: 20160051495
    Abstract: Formulations for oral transmucosal compositions that include clomiphene-like selective estrogen receptor modulators (C-SERMs) in combination with transmucosal absorption enhancers are disclosed. Oral transmucosal compositions can be for fast release or slow release, and can be administered to increase bloodstream testosterone levels and thereby reduce symptoms of testosterone deficiency. Oral transmucosal compositions include liquid dosage forms, solid dosage forms, and chewing gums. Further dosage forms include mucoadhesive thin strips, thin films, tablets, patches, and tapes, among others. Other dosage forms are: mucoadhesive liquids such as gel-forming liquid; gel-forming; semisolids; and gel-forming powders, among other dosage forms that exhibit mucoadhesive properties, and provide oral transmucosal delivery of C-SERMs. Oral transmucosal compositions allow the delivery of C-SERMs directly into the patient's bloodstream, thereby providing high bioavailability of C-SERMs; therefore, required dose is lower.
