Abstract: Described herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising diclofenac and therapeutic methods for using them effective with once daily administration.

Abstract: Described herein are mucoadhesive pharmaceutical compositions of corticosteroids, as well as methods of making such pharmaceutical compositions, and therapeutic methods using them. The compositions typically comprise a corticosteroid in a mucoadhesive system, wherein the mucoadhesive system comprises a rheology-modifying agent and a vehicle for the corticosteroid. The compositions are particularly useful for treating inflammatory conditions of the esophagus, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, or inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: The invention discloses compositions and methods for ensuring in both women of fertile age where it ensures also a contraception with additional health benefits and in postmenopausal women where it offers a hormonal therapy with additional medical benefits such as the potential for lower risk of thrombosis. The aforementioned compositions comprising NES as a potent progestational and antiovulatory agent with no androgenic nor estrogenic nor glucocorticoid effect, and combined with estradiol formulated for non-oral transdermal administration as specific daily doses.

Abstract: The subject invention provides improved diclofenac gel formulations.

Abstract: The subject invention provides improved testosterone gel formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to compositions or formulations for transdermal or transmucosal administration of anticholinergic agents such as oxybutynin. The invention utilizes a novel delivery vehicle and is a substantially malodorous-free and irritation free transdermal formulation which is substantially free of long chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters. A method is disclosed for treating a subject for urinary incontinence with these formulations while reducing the incidences of peak concentrations of drug and undesirable side effects associated with oral anticholinergics.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel transdermal or transmucosal pharmaceutical formulation having an active agent of testosterone which reduces the occurrences of contamination of other individuals and the transference to clothing of the user. The solvent system of the formulation includes a monoalkylether of diethylene glycol and a glycol present in specified ratios, and a mixture of water and alcohol. The invention also relates to a method for inhibiting or delaying crystallization of the active agent in a pharmaceutical formulation.

Abstract: The subject invention provides improved testosterone gel formulations.

Abstract: A formulation for transdermal or transmucosal administration of an active agent. The formulation includes an active agent and a delivery vehicle comprising a C2 to C4 alkanol, a polyalcohol, and a permeation enhancer of monoalkyl ether of diethylene glycol present in an amount sufficient to provide permeation enhancement of the active agent through dermal or mucosal surfaces. The formulation is substantially free of long-chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids, and long-chain fatty esters in order to avoid undesirable odor and irritation effects caused by such compounds during use of the formulation. Also, the active agent is testosterone that is present in an amount of about 1%, the alkanol is ethanol that is present in an amount of about 46.28% to about 47.5% of the formulation; the polyalcohol is propylene glycol that is present in an amount of about 6% of the formulation; and the permeation enhancer is diethylene glycol monoethyl ether that is present in an amount of about 5% of the formulation.

Abstract: A delivery vehicle for topical pharmaceutical formulations that include a C2 to C4 alkanol, a polyalcohol, and a monoalkyl ether of diethylene glycol present in relative amounts sufficient to provide permeation enhancement of an active agent through mammalian dermal or mucosal surfaces. Preferably, the delivery vehicle as well as the formulations that contain it are substantially free of long-chain fatty alcohols, long-chain fatty acids and long-chain fatty esters in order to avoid potential undesirable odor and irritation effects caused by such compounds during use of the formulation.
