Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions are described for the treatment of hypogonadism in humans. The compositions can include testosterone and triamcinolone along with carriers and/or adjunct ingredients. In some embodiments, the compositions can be made by mixing testosterone with triamcinolone to form an admixture, adding a binding agent to the admixture to form wet granules, drying the wet granules to form bulk granules, milling the bulk granules, and combining the milled granules with a coating agent.

Abstract: A planar transformer including first and second parts of a core with least one of the first and second parts having a center post that resides in an aperture of a PWB. The PWB includes primary windings and secondary windings that surround the center post, are magnetically coupled by the core, and are electrically independent. Separating an uppermost winding from the first part of the core is a first prepreg structure and separating a lowermost winding from the second part of the core is a second prepreg structure. There being no windings disposed between the first and second prepreg structures and the core. This planar transformer structure inhibits the windings from electrically shorting through the core when the planar transformer is subjected to shock or vibration. One variant includes the use of pre-form adhesives sheets located between the solder mask layers of the PWB and the core that further inhibit the windings from shorting through the core.
