The invention discloses an everolimus solid oral medicinal composition, which comprises a composition consisting of everolimus or a derivative thereof and excipient, wherein the pH value of aqueous solution of the composition is 5 to 6; and the everolimus or the derivative thereof accounts for 0.05 to 5 percent based on the weight of the composition. The composition can be prepared into a high-bioavailability and non-micronized preparation which overcomes the defects of low dissolubility and stability by the regulation of the pH value of the everolimus or the derivative thereof and the excipient, adoption of the reasonable formula ratio, and uniform dispersion of main ingredients by employing the fluidized bed coating technology.

Ocular solutions containing at least one macrolide antibiotic and/or mycophenolic acid provide anti-inflammatory, anti-cell proliferation, anti-cell migration, anti-angiogenesis, antimicrobial, and antifungal effects. In one embodiment, the solution is administered intraocularly after cataract surgery before insertion of a replacement intraocular lens, resulting in reduced posterior capsular opacification which may eliminate the need for a subsequent surgery.

The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of tumours associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). In particular the CBD was able to decrease the number and size of marker cells, pS6, in a zebrafish model of TSC. This is5 suggestive of a disease modifying effect whereby treatment with CBD could result in the reduction or prevention of the benign tumours that occur in TSC patients. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. In particular the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been substantially 10 removed, to a level of not more than 0.15% (w/w) and the propyl analogue of CBD, cannabidivarin, (CBDV) is present in amounts of up to 1%. Alternatively, the CBD may be a synthetically produced CBD. In use the CBD is given concomitantly with one or more other drugs used in the treatment of TSC. Such drugs may include rapamycin and/or everolimus.
