[0030] Preparation of pharmaceutical preparations

[0031] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention includes tablets and capsules, which can be prepared according to standard methods in the art (see for example Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences , 16 th ed., A Oslo editor, Easton, Pa. (1980)). Drugs and drug combinations will generally be prepared by blending with conventional excipients. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to: water; saline solutions; alcohols; acacia; vegetable oils; benzyl alcohol; polyethylene glycol; gelatin; carbohydrates such as lactose, amylose, or starch; magnesium stearate; talc; silicon Acid; paraffin; aromatic oil; fatty acid ester; hydroxymethylcellulose; polyvinylpyrrolidone, etc. The pharmaceutical preparation can be sterilized, and if necessary, can also be mixed with adjuvants, such as: lubricants, preservatives, disintegrants; stabilizers; wetting agents; emulsifiers; salts; buffers; coloring agents; flavorin...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to dosage forms that can be used in therapeutic methods involving the oral co-administration of a combination of at least two drugs, one of which impairs gastrointestinal absorption and one of which does not. The dosage forms are designed so that the drug impairing absorption is not released into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient until after the drugs that do not impair absorption have been released and substantially absorbed. The invention may be used in treatment of migraine using a combination of triptans and NSAIDs or in the treatment of pain using a combination of NSAIDs and opioid analgesics.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and benefits of US Provisional Application 60 / 779,373, filed March 6, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates to dosage forms for oral co-administration of drugs where at least one drug impairs gastrointestinal absorption in the patient and at least one other drug does not impair gastrointestinal absorption in the patient. The dosage form delays the release of the drug that impairs absorption until after the drug that does not impair absorption is at least partially absorbed. Thus, the overall speed and efficiency of drug delivery is increased. Such dosage forms would be of particular value for pharmaceutical compositions combining a non-narcotic analgesic with a triptan or opioid analgesic. Background of the invention [0004] Where higher doses of a single drug would have no therapeutic benefit or ...
