Abstract: Disclosed are novel formulations for the treatment of otic infections in an animal comprising a triazole anti-fungal compound, a quinolone antibiotic and a corticosteroid such as mometasone furoate monohydrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel Piperidine and piperazine Derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the Piperidine and piperazine Derivatives and the use of these compounds of formula (I) for treating or preventing treating allergy, an allergy-induced airway response, congestion, a cardiovascular disease, an inflammatory disease, a gastrointestinal disorder, a neurological disorder, a cognitive disorder, a metabolic disorder, obesity or an obesity-related disorder, diabetes, a diabetic complication, impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose.

Abstract: A liquid suspension comprising an antifungally effective amount of the micronized compound represented by the chemical structural formula I: at least one thickening agent, a non-ionic surfactant, and a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier is disclosed.

Abstract: An improved weight and growth stimulant for domesticated animals such as cattle, pigs and sheep is comprised of an anabolic agent that is subcutaneously administered in the form of a dual release implant formulation. Increased gains are particularly improved when zeranol is administered in an immediate-release and controlled-release formulation which allows for a one-time dosage injection.

Abstract: A dermal, transdermal, mucosal or transmucosal delivery device is provided. The device includes a backing layer, defining an ingredient containing reservoir, a cover for the reservoir having at least one opening therethrough, an adhesive layer and a liner layer. Upon removal of the liner layer, the device may be placed over the desired area of the skin or mucosa and adhesively applied thereto allowing the ingredients to flow from the reservoir through the at least one opening to the dermis or mucosa.

Abstract: An orthotic is disclosed. The orthotic may include a cushioning layer configured to extend from at least the metatarsal region to the proximal heel region, the cushioning layer having a heel region with a protruding heel piece integrally molded as part of the cushioning layer. The orthotic may also include an outer shell layer fixedly coupled to the cushioning layer, the outer shell layer extending longitudinally from at least the medial cuneiform-first metatarsal joint region to the calcaneus bone region of the user, the outer shell layer configured to receive the protruding heel piece.

Abstract: A low ether gel composition for application to skin comprising a keratolytic agent, in particular salicylic acid, and comprising a nitrocellulose and one or more volatile ingredients, which forms a film on contact with skin adequate to form a protective barrier for the keratolytic agent for a period of time necessary to provide treatment to the skin; methods of treating using such compositions, and dispensers containing such compositions.

Abstract: Novel trifluoromethanesulfonanilide oxime ether compounds useful for controlling endo and/or ectoparasites in the environment are provided, together with methods of making the same, and methods of using the inventive compounds to treat parasite infestations in vivo or ex vivo.
