Abstract: The present invention relates to a periodontal gel composition, more particularly to a liquid composition having a low viscosity at ambient temperature, which upon warming to body temperature solidifies into a viscous gel and then releases a therapeutic agent, e.g., an antibacterial agent, in a sustained release manner; and to a method of use.

Abstract: A transdermal patch formulation of a viscous liquid that includes an active agent of incretin or incretin mimetic peptide, a stabilizer, a buffer, a water soluble thickening agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also, a patch adapted for transdermal delivery of the active agent and having a drug reservoir compartment of the transdermal patch formulation and a system for facilitating transdermal delivery of the active agent through the skin of a subject. The system includes the patch and an apparatus capable of generating a plurality of micro-channels in an area on the subject's skin. The patch and apparatus are used in methods of treatment for reducing blood glucose level, lowering plasma glucagon levels, reducing food intake, or reducing gastric motility in a subject in need of the same by extending the release of the incretin or incretin mimetic peptide in the subject.
