Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for administering oxybutynin while minimizing the incidence and or severity of adverse drug experiences associated with oxybutynin therapy. In one aspect, these compositions and methods provide a lower plasma concentration of oxybutynin metabolites, such as N-desethyloxybutynin, which is presumed to be contributing at least in part to some of the adverse drug experiences, while maintaining sufficient oxybutynin plasma concentration to benefit a subject with oxybutynin therapy. The invention also provides isomers of oxybutynin and its metabolites that meet these characteristics of minimized incidence and/or severity of adverse drug experiences, and maintenance of beneficial and effective therapy for overactive bladder. In some aspects, the composition may be presented in the form of an unoccluded or free form topically administered gel.
Abstract: A method for treating pancreatitis that involves identifying a patient with pancreatitis and administering to the patient a daily dose of Camostat Mesilate of between about 8 to about 1300 mg/kg or an equivalent amount of or 4-(4-guan-idino-benzoyloxy) phenylacetic acid is disclosed. The dosage can be administered as a single dose or can be administered in 2, 3, 4 or more doses to achieve the daily dose. The treatment can be given for a week (7 days), a month (31 days) or several months, or for as long as the treatment provides an increased quality of life. The drug can be administered orally in an oral capsule. The methods can be conveniently used in the treatment of canine pancreatitis by measuring the serum concentration of canine pancreas-specific lipase and administering a dose of the drug when the dog has a serum concentration of about 400 ?g/L or more of canine pancreas-specific lipase.
