  • Publication number: 20140256762
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method of treating individuals suffering from microbial infections, including a viral infection such as Dengue Fever, using an improved Artemisinin Combination Therapy (ACT), known as Tri-ACT. The improved ACT therapy includes administering a combination of three drugs. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method includes administering to an individual a first composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an artemether spray sublingually. The individual is then administered a second composition, a therapeutically effective amount of artesunate. A third composition, an effective amount of berberine, or its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts is then administered to the individual.

  • Publication number: 20060280761
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stable nanosuspension for delivery of a biologically active agent, particularly vitamin B-12, into the bloodstream of a subject is disclosed. A nanofluidizable mixture containing vitamin B-12 is initially formed and processed via a nanofluidization process to form the stable nanosuspension, which may be administered via the transmucosal membranes or other suitable routes of administration. This product demonstrates increased bioavailability, enhanced period of onset, and enhanced stability for a controlled-release product.

  • Patent number: 6861066
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stable nanosuspension for delivery of a biologically active agent into the bloodstream of a subject is disclosed. A microfluidizable mixture is initially formed and processed via a microfluidization process to form the stable nanosuspension, which may be administered via the buccal mucosa or other suitable routes of administration. This product demonstrates increased bioavailability, enhanced period of onset, and enhanced stability for a controlled-release product.
