In one embodiment, an active pharmaceutical ingredient in at least one of the pharmaceutical layers is selected from bupropion, zonisamide, naltrexone, topiramate, phentermine, metformin, olanzapine and fluoxetine.

Abstract: Provided is a method of treating binge eating disorder (BED) in a patient in need thereof comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, to the patient.

Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising (1R,55)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form. The compositions are formulated for providing a sustained release of enantiomerically pure (1R,5S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.O)]hexane. The compositions are substantially free of the other (—) enantiomer of the compound.

Abstract: Provided are methods of using (1R,5S)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating a blood glucose condition involve identifying a suitable subject and administering an effective amount of a composition that contains one or more of an opioid antagonist, an anticonvulsant, and a psychotherapeutic agent. The compositions can include insulin. In some embodiments, such methods and compositions can be used to modulate a blood glucose level. In preferred embodiments, such methods and compositions are useful for increasing a subject's sensitivity to insulin.

Abstract: Devices and methods of detecting gas and volatile organic compounds from skin are disclosed. One system for detecting emissions through skin includes a sensing device having a housing having a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion having a concave-shaped bottom surface creating a cavity region, the at least one light source arranged to emit a spectral range of wavelengths of light into the cavity region, and at least one sensor disposed to receive light emitted by the at least one sensor after the light propagates through at least a portion of the cavity region, the at least one sensor configured to generate a signal based on the received light. The sensing device may also include a communication module configured wirelessly transmit the spectral information to a mobile device for determining a characteristic, for example, a blood glucose level.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for reducing food cravings, comprising a first compound and a second compound, where the first compound is an opioid antagonist and the second compound is an ?-MSH agonist. Also disclosed are methods of reducing food cravings, comprising identifying an individual in need thereof and treating that individual to antagonize opioid receptor activity and to enhance ?-MSH activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting native and promiscuous uptake of biogenic amine neurotransmitters with triple reuptake inhibitors in the treatment of conditions affected by monoamine neurotransmitters.

Abstract: Provided are methods of using (1R,5S)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.

Abstract: Methods and systems for administration of pharmaceuticals using a unit dosage package that includes a first unit dosage that has a first drug and a second drug, a second unit dosage that has the first drug and the second drug, where the second unit dosage includes a different amount of the second drug than the first unit dosage and a unit dosage package is configured to hold the first unit dosage and the second unit dosage. In preferred embodiments the methods and systems are used for administration of weight loss medications.

Abstract: Provided are methods of treatment for nicotine dependency and nicotine withdrawal effects (e.g., a method of smoking cessation) in a human in need thereof comprising administering to the human an effective amount of (1R,5S)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.
