Abstract: This invention relates to body orifice moisturizing compositions and kits and methods of their use. More particularly, it relates to vaginal moisturizing compositions and kits and methods of their use. The vaginal moisturizing compositions of this invention are preferably in the form of a soft gelatin capsule containing therein a lubricating fluid, said soft gelatin capsule being capable of insertion into a body orifice. It will provide sustained lubrication to the body orifice.

Abstract: This invention relates to substantially anhydrous warming, non-toxic and nonirritating lubricating compositions containing polyhydric alcohols and an insulating agent. The invention also relates to methods of using such compositions for lubrication, administration of active ingredients and for preventing or treating dysmenorrhea.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions, methods of use, regimens and kits for treating local fungal and bacterial infections that are susceptible to treatment administered either locally or topically and systemically. The methods of this invention relate to ways in which to relieve symptoms of such infections in an unexpectedly shorter timespan than with conventional treatment with greater predictability than those methods currently known.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for treating vulvovaginitis and vaginosis. The compositions of this invention contain antifungal agents as well as a buffering system that, when administered to a patient's vagina, maintains the pH of the vagina so as to achieve a healthy environment that encourages the growth of appropriate flora. Antifungal agents that are useful in the compositions of this invention include azole antifungal agents. Buffering systems include gluconodeltalactone.

Abstract: This invention relates to personal lubricant compositions that are at least between three and eighteen times more lubricious than the compositions known previously. The compositions of this invention contain one or more polyhydric alcohols, one or more water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose, water and, optionally, preservatives and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal bases. The compositions of this invention can provide a vehicle for delivering medicaments for contraception and for the treatment and prevention of disease. This invention also relates to methods of using the personal lubricant compositions of this invention.
