Abstract: Compressed tablets for oral administration containing raltegravir in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt are described. The tablets comprise: (A) an intragranular component comprising (i) an effective amount of an alkali metal salt of raltegravir, (ii) optionally a first superdisintegrant, and (iii) a binder; and (B) an extragranular component comprising (i) a second superdisintegrant, (ii) a filler, and (iii) a lubricant. Methods for preparing the tablets and the use of the tablets, optionally in combination with other anti-HIV agents, for the inhibition of HIV integrase, for the treatment or prophylaxis of HIV infection, or for the treatment, delay in the onset, or prophylaxis of AIDS are also described.

Abstract: Novel pharmaceutical compositions are comprised of the salt or ion pair formation of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and an antihistamine or other decongestant. The physico-chemical characteristics of these compositions show them to be substantially different from their parent acid or base and will enable the preparation of dual action sustained or enhanced relief therapy regimens. The compositions also possessed enhanced stability and therefore the multi-symptom relief can be incorporated into a number of dosage forms such as capsules, tablets, elixirs, ointments and the like.

Abstract: Penetration of various drugs through living membranes is improved by their use in transdermal compositions containing certain penetration-enhancing systems. A new delivery device is also described.

Abstract: The penetration of various drugs through living membranes, eg., skin, is improved by their use in topical compositions containing certain penetration-enhancer systems.

Abstract: Saturated or unsaturated fatty acids of 8-18 carbon atoms or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl ester thereof in an aqueous system are described as skin absorption enhancers resulting in effective and non-irritating transdermal compositions comprising the above in combination with a therapeutically active ingredient.

Abstract: A method of enhancing penetration of a drug through the skin or other biological membranes using lecithin is herein described along with pharmaceutical compositions containing effective amounts of lecithin as a penetration enhancer.

Abstract: The use of permeation enhancers permits the formulation of transdermal dosage forms for calcium antagonists. These dosage forms are administrable to humans and other mammals, e.g., bovines.

Abstract: 3-phenoxypyridine and its salts are useful in transdermal formulations as cognition activators.
