  • Patent number: 11986446
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is to improve the safety and efficacy of the administration of GHB or a salt thereof to a patient. It has been discovered that the concomitant administration of an MCT inhibitor, such as diclofenac, valproate, or ibuprofen, will affect GHB administration. For example, it has been discovered that diclofenac lowers the effect of GHB in the body, thereby potentially causing an unsafe condition. Furthermore, it has been discovered that valproate increases the effect of GHB on the body, thereby potentially causing an unsafe condition.

  • Patent number: 11976300
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a water-soluble realgar solid dispersion in the preparation of an erythroid differentiation inducer for bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and/or bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells. The water-soluble realgar solid dispersion is prepared from raw materials comprising 1 part by weight of realgar, 1-20 parts by weight of a polymer, and 0-5 parts by weight of a surfactant. The water-soluble realgar solid dispersion can induce bone marrow hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells to be differentiated into red blood cells, promote the accumulation of red blood cells in bone marrow cells, effectively alleviate the decrease in the number of red blood cells caused by the suppression of the erythroid differentiation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells, improve anemia caused by hematopoietic failure, and protect bone marrow cells from the killing effect.
