  • Patent number: 10596118
    Abstract: An ospemifene solid dispersion for enhancing solubility and bioavailability, and methods of preparation thereof are disclosed. The solid dispersion comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient, such as ospemifene, and a hydfophilie carrier, such as copovidone, hypromellose acetate succinate, polyvinylpyrrolidine, a polyvinylpyrrolidine/vinyl acetate co-polymer, hydroxyl propyl methylcellulose, hypromellose acetate succinate, a Eudragit® compound, hydroxypropylcellulose, a polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate polyethylene glycol graft co-polymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, and mixtures thereof, and optionally a surfactant The ospemifene solid, dispersions can be used in methods of treating a symptom related, to menopause, such as vaginal dryness or sexual dysfunction, or in methods of treating osteoporosis.

  • Publication number: 20040126412
    Abstract: A small, cylindrical-shaped, disposable or reusable, and flexible bladder, cooled or frozen before applied to the anus of the user, and held in place by the user's buttocks. Said bladder is composed of a plastic, rubber or other flexible material sealed at its ends. A cooling agent or compound is contained within the bladder, which is intended to be cooled or frozen in one's refrigerator, icebox or freezer. Upon application, the bladder provides instant relief to the user by cooling the exposed hemorrhoidal tissue and by accelerating the shrinkage of said tissue.
