Abstract: Described herein is a method of transdermally administering one or more pharmaceutically active agents to a mammal. The method comprises administering one or more active pharmaceutical agents to the skin of the subject, in conjunction with microneedles and one or more COX inhibitors, whereby the COX inhibitors facilitate the absorption of the active pharmaceutical agents by prolonging the pore opening created by the application of the microneedle.

Abstract: An abuse deterrent transdermal patch comprising a multilaminate. The multilaminate can comprise a first layer comprising an opioid analgesic compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable pressure sensitive adhesive. The multilaminate can further comprise a second layer comprising an opioid antagonist, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable adhesive. In addition, the multilaminate can further comprise a barrier layer disposed between the first and second layers.

Abstract: Described herein are abuse-resistant multi-layer transdermal patches comprising opioids and opioid prodrugs having a barrier layer located between the layer containing opioid or opioid prodrug and a layer containing an opioid antagonist or opioid antagonist prodrug.

Abstract: Described herein are cannabidiol prodrugs, methods of making cannabidiol prodrugs, formulations comprising cannabidiol prodrugs and methods of using cannabidiols. One embodiment described herein relates to the transdermal or topical administration of a cannabidiol prodrug for treating and preventing diseases and/or disorders.

Abstract: This invention relates to cannabinoid-containing compositions, particularly cannabinoid-containing gel formulations and methods for the treatment of traumatic injury, e.g., strains, sprains and contusions, and disease conditions, e.g., arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis. The methods involve topically applying a cannabinoid or a cannabinoid-containing composition to a subject's skin near, or distant from, the area of the injury or the area affected by the disease condition, e.g., an arthritic joint. The cannabinoid-containing composition is preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable gel containing a therapeutically effective amount of a cannabinoid sufficient to alleviate the symptoms associate with the injury or disease condition.
