Abstract: The present invention provides oral pharmaceutical compositions that enable the successful delivery of drugs in a pharmaceutically effective amount, particularly poly (amino acids) such as peptides, peptidomimetics and proteins. e.g. hormones to a subject via oral administration to accomplish the desired therapeutic effect. The oral pharmaceutical composition comprising a poly (amino acid) as the active ingredient, e.g. a peptide or protein, shows a rapid disintegration and/or dissolution such that the active ingredient is able to attain a therapeutic effect.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for the effective oral delivery of a parathyroid hormone, PTH, as well as methods for administration of the compositions are provided. Additionally, methods for stimulating new bone formation and treating and/or preventing osteoporosis are also provided.

Abstract: Solid pharmaceutical compositions and methods of their use suitable for the oral delivery of pharmacologically active agents, e.g. peptides, comprising a therapeutically-effective amount of a pharmacologically active agent; a crospovidone or povidone; and a delivery agent for said pharmacologically active agent are disclosed. The compositions utilize micronized forms of the delivery agent which provides enhanced bioavailability of pharmacologically active agents, particularly calcitonin.

Abstract: Solid pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the oral delivery of pharmacologically active agents, e.g. peptides, comprising a therapeutically-effective amount of a pharmacologically active agent; a crospovidone or povidone; and a delivery agent for said pharmacologically active agent are disclosed. The compositions provide excellent oral bioavailability of pharmacologically active agents, particularly calcitonin.

Abstract: A method for orally administering a parathyroid hormone, PTH, comprising orally co-administering to a patient in need of PTH an effective amount of a PTH and an effective amount of a calcitonin. The method according to the invention allows for the oral administration of PTH without the hypercalcemia, hypercalcuria and nephrolithiasis side effects.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are tablets and methods of treatment comprising the administration of such tablets. The tablets are immediate release tablets that comprise about 400 mg of 5-methyl-2-(2′-chloro-6′-fluoroanilino)phenylacetic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where the 5-methyl-2-(2′-chloro-6′-fluoroanilino)phenylacetic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof comprises between 60 and 70% by weight of the tablet. The methods involve the administration of the tablets of the invention to individuals in need of administration of such tablets.
