Abstract: The main object here is the use of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (as ethyl esters, hereinafter called “n-3 PUFA”) as a medicament, either alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for reducing mortality for a cardiovascular cause, in particular arrhythmia or for reducing hospitalization for any cause, in particular a cardiovascular cause and for the daily administration to patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) for more than 3.5 years.

Abstract: A composition is disclosed which is suitable for the prevention and/or treatment of cell and tissue abnormalities of exogenous, toxic or metabolic origin and suitable for reducing the toxic effects of cyclosporin-A and other immunosuppressive agents, which may take the form of a food supplement or of an actual medicine, containing as its active ingredients in combination or separately packaged: (a) propionyl L-carnitine or one of its pharmacologically acceptable salts, and (b) an amino acid selected from the group consisting of glycine, serine, alanine and arginine, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of acetyl L-carnitine in combination with an anti hypertensive drug, and a statin, for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or delay of onset of type 2 diabetes and its complications, in pre-diabetic patients with insulin resistance.

Abstract: A food selected from the group comprising milk and dairy products derived from milk, comprising a carnitine in an effective amount to stimulate, through the natural fatty acid metabolic processes that take place in a consumer of said food, the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids from the saturated fatty acids originally contained in the food.

Abstract: A composition is disclosed which is suitable for the prevention and treatment of kidney dysfunctions and diseases and which can therefore take the form of a food supplement or of an actual medicinal drug comprising a combination of acetyl L-carnitine and propionyl L-carnitine or their pharmacologically acceptable salts.

Abstract: A method for preventing and/or treating peripheral neuropathies induced by the administration of an anticancer agent of the family of platin compounds, taxanes, epothilone class, vinca alkaloids, said method comprising the administration in a co-ordinated manner to a subject suffering from said peripheral neuropathies, or expected to suffer from said peripheral neuropathies, an effective amount of acetyl L-carnitine or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In case of prevention, acetyl L-carnitine is administered to a subject, in view of the need of a treatment with an anticancer agent, immediately before or immediately after surgical removal of the tumor, but in any case before the administration of the anticancer agent. Acetyl L-carnitine can enhance the supportive effect of physiological NGF during chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, thus avoiding the problem of the local and general side effects of the exogenous administration of NGF which are a major problem of this neuroprotective strategy.

Abstract: The invention concerns a package (1) for at least two different products, to be sold (and used) together, said package providing at lease one first housing (2) for a first pre-packaged product and second housing for a pre-packages product, said first and second housing being coupled to each other.

Abstract: This invention disclosed the use of acetyl L-carnitine or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the preparation of a medicament for preventing and/or treating peripheral neuropathies induced by the administration of a peripheral neuropathy—inducing anticancer agent. In particular said anticancer agent is selected from the group consisting of the family of platin compounds, taxanes, epothilone class and vinca alkaloids, farnesyl transferase inhibitors, thalidomide, 5-fluorouracil, cryptophycin analogues, proteasome inhibitors. Said medicament can be administered in a co-ordinated manner to a subject suffering from said peripheral neuropathies, or expected to suffer from said peripheral neuropathies. Beneficial effects on the patient's quality of life are achieved and an improvement of therapeutic index of the anticancer agent is obtained.
