Patent number: 8784872Abstract: Formulations have been developed which assist individuals having an addiction such as smoking to reduce or quit engaging in the addictive behavior. Representative behaviors include smoking, excessive alcohol or food ingestion, drug addiction, and ingestion of caffeine or junk food providing quick “highs”. The formulations assist the smoker to become dissatisfied with smoking, until he or she willingly gives up the habit or at least cuts down on the number of cigarettes smoked per day as an initial step towards quitting in the future. The formulations can also be used in conjunction with other known formulations, such as nicotine gum or patch. The formulations contain hydrophilic polymers, for example, polyethylene glycol (PEG) alone or in combination or polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) (also known as povidone or polyvidone alone or in combination.), sweeteners and/or flavorings, viscosity modifiers/binders, and pH or buffering agents.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Comgenrx, Inc.Inventors: Bryan T.
