A method of treating a disease of condition administering topically to the skin or exposed tissue of a human, a dosage amount of a pharmaceutical composition, said dosage comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a drug to treat said disease or condition and a form of hyaluronic acid characterized in that the composition is immediately available to transport the drug percutaneously into the epidermis of the skin or exposed tissue to the site of trauma or pathology of the disease or condition to be treated.

Formulations containing hyaluronic acid

A combination for administration to a mammal which combination employs a therapeutically effective amount of a medicinal and/or therapeutic agent to treat a disease or condition and an amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments and subunits of hyaluronic acid sufficient to facilitate the agent's penetration through the tissue (including scar tissue) at the site to be treated, through the cell membranes into the individual cells to be treated.

Treatment of conditions and disease

Use of hyaluronic acid and a NSAID for the manufacture of a medicament

Pharmaceutical compositions from which effective non-toxic (to the patient) dosage amounts may be taken and applied to the skin and/or exposed tissue of a human, each effective dosage amount comprising pharmaceutical excipients suitable for topical application, an effective non-toxic dosage amount of a drug to treat and to assist to resolve a disease and/or condition of the skin and/or exposed tissue or a human and an effective non-toxic dosage amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments, and/or sub-units or hyaluronic acid sufficient to transport (to facilitate or cause the transport of) the drug, to a site in the skin including epidermis or exposed tissue or a disease or condition for percutaneous transport into the skin and/or exposed tissue to accumulate and remain there for a prolonged period of time and which is systemic independent acting.

The invention relates to a method of rapidly transporting a drug to the epidermis and accumulating and maintaining the drug therein for a prolonged period of time comprising administration of a therapeutically efective non-toxic amount of the drug with an effective amount of hyaluronic acid.

A method of treating a disease or condition comprising administering topically to the skin or exposed tissue of a human, a dosage amount of a pharmaceutical composition, said dosage comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a drug to treat said disease or condition and a form of hyaluronic acid characterized in that the composition is immediately available to transport the drug percutaneously into the epidermis of the skin or exposed tissue to the site of trauma or pathology of the disease or condition to be treated.

Topically applied transdermally quick penetrating (best targeting the epidermis and subsequently remaining there for a prolonged period of time) systemic independent acting, combinations and formulations which employ, combine, or incorporate a therapeutically effective non-toxic (to the patient) amount of a drug which inhibits prostaglandin synthesis together with an amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof (for example the sodium salt) and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments, and/or sub units of hyaluronic acid to treat a disease and condition of the skin and exposed tissue for example, basal cell carcinoma, the precancerous, often recurrent, actinic keratoses lesions, fungal lesions, 'liver' spots and like lesions (found for the most part in the epidermis), squamous cell tumours, metastatic cancer of the breast to the skin, primary and metastatic melanoma in the skin, genital warts cervical cancer, and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) including HPV of the cervix, psoriasis (both plaque-type psoriasis and nail bed psoriasis), corns on the feet and hair loss on the head of pregnant women and remain in the skin for a prolonged period of time.

A method of accumulating a drug and a form of hyaluronic acid in the skin and/or exposed tissue of a human includes topically administering a therapeutically effective dosage amount of a formulation which comprises at least 5 mg/cm.sup.2 of the form of hyaluronic acid and a therapeutically effective amount of the drug.

Therapeutic methods using hyaluronic acid

Pharmaceutical compositions from which effective non-toxic (to the patient) dosage amounts may be taken and applied to the skin and/or exposed tissue of a human, each effective dosage amount comprising pharmaceutical excipients suitable for topical application, an effective non-toxic dosage amount of a drug to treat and to assist to resolve a disease and/or condition of the skin and/or exposed tissue of a human and an effective non-toxic dosage amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments, and/or sub-units of hyaluronic acid sufficient to transport (to facilitate or cause the transport of) the drug, to a site in the skin including epidermis or exposed tissue of a disease or condition for percutaneous transport into the skin and/or exposed tissue to accumulate and remain there for a prolonged period of time and which is systemic independent acting.

Use of hyaluronic acid or its derivatives to enhance delivery of

A combination for administration to a mammal which combination employes a therapeutically effective amount of medicinal and/or therepeutic agent to treat a disease or condition and an amount of hyaluronic acid and/or salts thereof and/or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments and subunits of hyaluronic acid sufficient to facilitate the agent's penetration through the tissue (including scarr tissue) at the site to be treated, through the cell membrane into the individual cells to be treated.

Use of hyaluronic acid and forms to prevent arterial restenosis

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a plurality of effective non-toxic dosage amounts of a composition for topical administration to the site of pathology or trauma of skin or exposed tissue of a human patient in need of treatment suffering from a disease or condition, each such dosage amount comprising a therapeutically effective non-toxic dosage amount of a drug for the treatment of the disease or condition of the skin or exposed tissue at the site of the pathology or trauma and an effective non-toxic dosage amount of hyaluronic acid or salts thereof or homologues, analogues, derivatives, complexes, esters, fragments, or sub-units of hyaluronic acid to transport the drug to the site of the pathology or trauma of the disease or condition.

Topical composition containing hyaluronic acid and nsaids

The invention relates to a method of controlling the unloading of a drug from the skin or exposed tissue of a human into the lymphatic system comprising transporting an effective dosage amount of the drug into the skin or exposed tissue by an effective non-toxic amount of a form of hyaluronic acid.

A dosage amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an agent to treat a disease or condition involving underperfused tissue and pathological tissue in humans and a form of hyaluronic acid, wherein the form of hyaluronic acid is available to transport the agent from the point of administration to the site to be treated.
