Assignee(s): FemmePharma
Formulations which have been developed for topical or local delivery intrapelvically, intraperitoneally or directly on reproductive organs of interest administration to a region such as the female reproductive system, provide for increased comfort, increased bioavailability, rapid and relatively high blood levels in the regions to be treated in the substantial absence of systemic levels of drug which might cause side effects. These formulations consist of drug micro or nanoparticles, which may be formed of drug alone or in combination with an excipient or polymeric carrier. The excipient or polymer may be used to manipulate release rates and to increase adhesion to the affected region. The particulate formulation can be applied as a dried powder, a liquid suspension or dispersion, or as a topical ointment, creme, lotion, foam or suppository.Patent expiration dates:- November 17, 2017✓✓

| RLD | A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart. |
