Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition capable of being disintegrated in an acidic environment, which comprises calcium polycarbophil and 1 to 80% by weight of a cellulose derivative such as carboxymethylcellulose or low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose based on the calcium polycarbophil. The pharmaceutical composition in a form of a tablet, a capsule, or granules is useful as a bulk-forming laxative or an antidiarrheic agent since it can be disintegrated readily in the stomach and form a complete dispersion of polycarbophil in the digestive tract.

Abstract: A gel composition for cleaning and sanitizing the teats and udder of an agricultural animal for machine milking. Residual surface water, a source of milk contamination and mastitis, is eliminated from the teats and udder by use of the gel composition. The composition is constituted of water, a germicide added to the water in concentration sufficient to kill environmental bacteria which cause mastitis, and an aqueous gelling agent added to the water in concentration sufficient to form a palpable jelly-like mass, or gel. The composition preferably also includes a soap, detergent or other agent for the reduction of surface tension, and a skin softener and moisturizer. It preferably also contains a coloring agent. In application, the composition is applied to the teats and udder to soften and emulsify the particulate foreign matter, and kill the bacteria which cause environmental mastitis, without the separation therefrom of a separate liquid phase.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for reducing cardiovascular damage caused by hypoxic or ischemic events such as heart attack and cardiac arrest. This method involves the administration of disulfiram, or a suitable salt or analog of disulfiram, to a mammal in need of such treatment. Disulfiram can inhibit enzymes such as xanthine oxidase which would otherwise generate oxygenated free radicals, which are highly reactive chemical compounds that non-specifically attack and damage essential molecules and cells. It can also chelate copper and iron, thereby suppressing lipid peroxidation and protecting cell membranes from destruction. It also generates metabolites such as tryptophol which reduce the rate of metabolic activity in neurons and affected tissue, which can be useful during cytotoxic events. This invention also discloses injectable formulations that rapidly release disulfiram into the circulating blood.
