  • Publication number: 20060127476
    Abstract: Tranexamic acid formulated in an oral dosage form with at least one agent that decreases tranexamic acid release in the stomach. Such formulations minimize nausea, vomiting, and other adverse gastric effects that may accompany tranexamic acid therapy, for example, to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. One embodiment is an extended release formulation with waxes, polymers, etc. that prevent a bolus release of tranexamic acid in the stomach. An alternative embodiment is a delayed release formulation with polymers that prevent release of tranexamic acid in the acid environment of the stomach and delay its release until the formulation reaches the less acid environment of the intestines. Such formulations enhance patient compliance with therapy because adverse effects of tranexamic acid therapy are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20050080076
    Abstract: A pharmaceutically active N-desmethyl levomepromazine (abbreviated NDM LMP) and method of use. NDM LMP has substantially the same therapeutic effects as the parent levomepromazine but is subject to less disposition (e.g. presystemic and systemic metabolism) and thus has improved properties over the parent.
