  • Patent number: 11878081
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide pharmaceutical, unit-dose formulations, suitable for oral administration, that contain from 1% w/w to 20% w/w of a tafamidis-organic acid (such as adipic acid, glutaric acid, or fumaric acid) co-crystal; from 0.25% w/w to 2.5% w/w of an organic acid dissolution enhancer. Such formulations release, within 15 minutes in ¾ strength FeSSIF pH 5.8 or in FaSSIF+0.1% polysorbate 80 pH 6.5, at least 85% of the total tafamidis of the formulation.

  • Publication number: 20240000801
    Abstract: The disclosure provides pharmaceutical topical otic, ophthalmic, or nasal aqueous suspension formulations that comprise a corticosteroid; a chelating agent; a xanthan gum; an ionic tonicity agent; a pH from 5 to 6; and balance water. Such formulations comprise amounts of each of the xanthan gum and the ionic tonicity agent that together result in the formulation having: (i) a viscosity of from 4000 centipoises (“cps”) to 8000 centipoises (“cps”), and (ii) an osmolality of from 250 milliosmoles (“mOsm”) to 350 mOsm, and (iii) are readily redispersible.

  • Patent number: 11439760
    Abstract: Embodiments of this invention provide syringes calibrated for use with a predetermined liquid medication having an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) at a particular weight per unit volume (w/v) concentration. Such syringes comprising a plunger and a barrel are configured such that the plunger, and/or an end portion of the plunger, is sealingly receivable through an opening at one end the barrel and within the barrel and slidingly moveable lengthwise within the barrel. This configuration allows formation of a reservoir inside the barrel into which the liquid medication may be loaded through an intake opening for the liquid medication at the other end of the barrel. Syringe barrels according to this invention possess line increments that form two or more graduated scales of API weight dosages extending lengthwise along the barrels. The increment lines provide for highly precise and accurate measurement of fine-increment weight dosages of the API.

  • Patent number: 9345772
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide levothyroxine solutions that consist of from about 0.001% w/v to about 0.01% w/v of a levothyroxine; at least 70% w/w of a glycerol; less than 30% w/w of a water; and from about 0.01% w/w to about 1.5% w/w of an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Such levothyroxine solutions are characterized by exhibiting levothyroxine storage stability.

  • Publication number: 20150133410
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide aqueous pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical administration to otic tissue, ocular tissue, nasal tissue, or a combination thereof that contain 0.02%-0.40% w/w of a ciprofloxacin, 0.01%-1.0% w/w of a surfactant, 0.05%-2.5% w/w of an acetic acid-acetate salt buffer, an amount of a tonicity agent sufficient to cause the composition to have an osmolality of about 275-325 mOsm, and water. In such embodiments, the compositions have a pH of from 5.0 to 5.3 and at least about 95% of the ciprofloxacin is in solution at room temperature.
