Abstract: Provided, among other things, is a method of treating acute, delayed or anticipatory emesis for a sustained period in an individual, which involves applying to a portion of intact skin on the individual a composition of i. an antiemetically effective amount of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist; ii. a permeation enhancing amount of permeation enhancer comprising 0.5% to 15% by weight of the skin-contacting layer; and iii. an adhesive.

Abstract: This invention relates to substantially anhydrous warming, non-toxic and nonirritating lubricating compositions containing polyhydric alcohols and an insulating agent as well as gel and jelly compositions related thereto. The invention also relates to methods of using such compositions for lubrication, administration of active ingredients and for preventing or treating dysmenorrhea.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions, methods of use, regimens and kits for treating local fungal and bacterial infections that are susceptible to treatment administered either locally or topically and systemically. The methods of this invention relate to ways in which to relieve symptoms of such infections in an unexpectedly shorter timespan than with conventional treatment with greater predictability than those methods currently known.

Abstract: The ointments and methods of the invention treat oral and vaginal fungal and yeast infections. Ointments comprise antifungals and/or antibacterials, and a mixture of water-soluble, and water-insoluble components, which effectively treat oral and/or vaginal infections in a single dose or multiple doses comprise retaining antifungals and/or antibacterials for an effective time above a minimum concentration. Methods of treating the infections in a single dose comprise methods for determining whether ointments will be effective in a single dose test blood for concentration of antifungals and antibacterials at set time intervals.
