Abstract: A transungual patch/device useful for the treatment of onychomycosis includes: (i) a backing medium; and (ii) an adhesive matrix layer deposited thereon which contains (a) a thus effective amount of amorolfine active agent or derivative thereof essentially uniformly distributed therethrough, dissolved or dispersed in the adhesive, and (b) at least one absorption promoter for enhancing the absorption of the amorolfine or derivative into the nail onto which the patch/device is applied, the at least one absorption promoter comprising either exaltolide alone, or at least two such absorption promoters selected from among urea, N-acetylcysteine and lactic acid.

Abstract: Topically applicable, anhydrous and physically/chemically stable pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of disorders of the skin, notably psoriasis, contain a silicone agent; a therapeutically effect amount of a compound A, which is vitamin D or derivative thereof, solubilized in a solvent therefor; and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound B, which is the corticosteroids, also solubilized in a solvent therefor.

Abstract: Stable, topically applicable cosmetic/pharmaceutical skin depigmentation compositions contain a combination depigmentation effective amount of mequinol and adapalene, and optionally, at least one sunscreen, formulated as aqueous-alcoholic gels or gel-creams in topically applicable, physiologically acceptable media therefor.

Abstract: Topically applicable, anhydrous, hydrophobic and physically/chemically stable dermatological/pharmaceutical oleaginous ointments having effective release/penetration capacity and also having therapeutically effective amounts of calcitriol and clobetasol 17-propionate solubilized therein, are well suited for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract: Topically applicable, anhydrous and physically/chemically stable pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of disorders of the skin, notably psoriasis, contain a silicone agent; a therapeutically effect amount of a compound A selected from the group consisting of vitamin D or derivative thereof, solubilized in a solvent therefor; and a therapeutically effective amount of a compound B selected from the group consisting of the corticosteroids, also solubilized in a solvent therefor.

Abstract: Topically applicable cosmetic/dermatological compositions useful for the treatment of disorders of the skin, notably psoriasis, comprise inverse emulsions containing a glycol or water-glycol dispersed hydrophilic phase, a lipophilic continuous phase, an emulsifier having an HLB of between 2 and 7 and also having calcitriol and clobetasol 17-propionate dissolved therein.
