Abstract: Disclosed is a pharmaceutically-acceptable composition in the form of a solid, amorphous, mono-particulate powder comprising a mixture of: (a) a pharmacologically-effective dosage amount of an adrenergic receptor modulator, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof; and (b) a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier material, which carrier material comprises a maltodextrin with a dextrose equivalent (DE) that is above 15. Compositions are suitable for transmucosal drug delivery, including nasal delivery, by which said compositions may be loaded into a single-use nasal applicator. Compositions are preferably made by way of spray drying and may further include a disaccharide, such as lactose or trehalose which, along with the active ingredient and maltodextrin, may be spray-dried together in combination. Compositions may further comprise one or more alkyl saccharides. Preferred alkyl saccharides include sucrose esters, such as sucrose monolaurate.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a solid pharmaceutical composition formulation for nasal delivery of an opioid antagonist, comprising a pharmacologically-effective amount of an opioid antagonist and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The compositions are preferably in the form of a powder produced by spray-drying, which are subsequently loaded into single use nasal applicators. Preferred pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers in this regard include disaccharides (e.g. lactose or trehalose) and dextrins (e.g. cyclodextrins or maltodextrins), preferably spray-dried together in combination. Compositions may further comprise an alkyl saccharide, preferably a sucrose ester, such as sucrose monolaurate. The compositions and applicators may be employed in the treatment of opioid overdose in subjects.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutically-acceptable composition which is preferably in the form of a spray-dried powder comprising a mixture of: (a) a pharmacologically-effective dosage amount of at least one pharmaceutically-active compound; and (b) a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier material, which carrier material comprises a combination of a disaccharide and a polymeric material. Compositions are suitable for, for example, transmucosal drug delivery, including sublingual and nasal delivery. In the case of nasal delivery, said compositions may be loaded into single- or multiple-use nasal applicators. Preferred pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers in this regard include lactose or trehalose and dextrins (e.g. cyclodextrins or maltodextrins), which may be spray-dried together in combination. Compositions may further comprise one or more alkyl saccharides. Preferred alkyl saccharides include sucrose esters, such as sucrose monolaurate.
