Abstract: The present invention relates to novel tigecycline compositions with improved stability in both solid and solution states and processes for making these compositions. These compositions comprise tigecycline, a suitable carbohydrate, and an acid or buffer.

Abstract: An aminocarboxylic acid chelating agent, preferably EDTA, or a salt thereof has been found to be useful for inhibiting particulate formation in piperacillin/tazobactam parenteral combinations. The composition may also contain a buffer, preferably citrate, and optionally an aminoglycoside. The product may be in the form of a frozen composition that can be thawed for use. The product may also be in the form of a cryodesiccated powder that can be reconstituted by addition of an aqueous vehicle to reform a solution.

Abstract: A combination product containing at least two active compounds, O-desmethylvenlafaxine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and bazedoxifene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is described. Also described are methods of making and using this combination product to treat a variety of conditions associated with low circulating estrogen levels or low estrogen receptor activity.

Abstract: The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising piperacillin, tazobactam, an aminocarboxylic acid, and a buffer in a sodium lactate diluent. The invention further relates to a method of treating a bacterial infection and an LR condition in a human which comprises administering to said human an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising piperacillin, tazobactam, an aminocarboxylic acid, and a buffer in a sodium lactate diluent.
