Abstract: Provided are methods for long term drug delivery by tattoo. The bioactive agent, which comprises the drug, is delivered to a layer, or multiple layers, of the skin. Such a method allows for long-term drug activity the bioactive agent has a longer residence time within the skin when compared to routine delivery methods. Moreover, the bioactive agent may also be combined and mixed with a coloring composition, which signals the amount of bioactive agent that has been administered and if a reapplication of the bioactive agent is necessary. Also described are methods of utilizing such a drug delivery mechanism in order to effect cosmetic changes, such as enhancing hair growth by utilizing bioactive agents suited for enabling hair growth.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a use of D-chiro-inositol, pinitol, or analog compounds thereof for preventing or treating female menopausal symptoms. The active ingredient compound of the present invention has an effect of increasing the activity of female hormones by increasing the blood concentration of 17?-estradiol and lowering the blood concentration of sex hormone-binding globulin. Therefore, the active ingredient compound of the present invention can be developed as a drug or a nutraceutical for preventing, alleviating or treating female menopausal symptoms. The active ingredient of the present invention is derived from a natural product, and thus, unlike an agonist of female sex hormones or chemically synthesized sex hormones, has very few side effects when applied to the human body.
