  • Publication number: 20060217316
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer comprises administering to a patient suffering from advanced prostate cancer an androgen suppressing amount of a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist analog and an amount of calcitriol sufficient to enhance the effectiveness of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist analog against the cancer relative to treatment with the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist analog alone. Preferably the calcitriol is in the form of a stabilized, injectable solution of calcitriol in isotonic saline containing about 1 to about 30 milligrams per milliliter of calcitriol and a sufficient quantity of nonionic surfactant to solubilize the calcitriol therein. Preferably the a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist analog is a nonapeptide or decapeptide agonist, such as leuprolide, goserelin or salts thereof.

  • Patent number: 6087362
    Abstract: The treatment of sexual dysfunction in human patients by an oral therapy regimen of administration of apomorphine and sildenafil is disclosed. This treatment optimizes the efficacy of each drug and substantially minimizes the undesirable side effects associated individually therewith. Apomorphine and sildenafil can be co-administered with a combination dosage unit or administered sequentially in separate dosage units, substantially prior to sexual activity. Other erectogenic agents can be administered along with apomorphine and sildenafil.

  • Patent number: 5994363
    Abstract: Symptoms of Parkinson's disease and psychogenic male erectile dysfunction (MED) can be ameliorated through the use of apomorphine. The adverse side effects of apomorphine administration, such as nausea, vomiting, yawning, and cardiovascular effects, can be significantly reduced by a dose escalating method of acclimatization. An initial dose of apomorphine is administered to the patient, and subsequently increased over a period of time until a final apomorphine dose in excess of a desired therapeutic dose has been received by the patient. Thereafter a therapeutic dose of apomorphine, less than the final apomorphine dose, is administered to the patient with attendant reduced side effects.
