  • Publication number: 20160051539
    Abstract: The invention is directed in part to oral dosage forms comprising a combination of an orally analgesically effective amount of an opioid agonist and an orally active opioid antagonist, the opioid antagonist being included in a ratio to the opioid agonist to provide a combination product which is analgesically effective when the combination is administered orally, but which is aversive in a physically dependent subject. Preferably, the amount of opioid antagonist included in the combination product provides at least a mildly negative, “aversive” experience in physically dependent addicts (e.g., precipitated abstinence syndrome).

  • Publication number: 20160051569
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for inhibiting the development, formation and/or maturation of bacterial and fungal biofilms. The biofilm inhibiting compositions include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as APIs, and ethoxylated oil as a solubilizing agent. The ethoxylated oils employed within the biofilm inhibiting compositions includes between 9 and 24 ethoxylations/molecules. The NSAIDs agents within the biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the syntheses of prostaglandins by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme system due to the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties of the NSAIDs. The biofilm inhibiting compositions inhibit the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes required for prostaglandin formation, thereby preventing the colonization of fungi or bacteria as well as the formation of biofilms.
