The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating diseases ameliorated by increased mucociliary clearance and mucosal hydration by administering an effective amount of a sodium channel blocker as defined herein and an osmolyte to a subject to a subject in need of increased mucociliary clearance and mucosal hydration.

Methods of treating or preventing chronic pain or convulsion are disclosed by administering to an animal a sodium channel blocker and at least one of gabapentin and pregabalin. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and kits for the treatment or prevention of chronic pain or convulsion.

A combination therapy comprising a therapeutically-effective amount of an epoxy-steroidal aldosterone receptor antagonist and a therapeutically-effective amount of a calcium channel blocker is described for treatment of circulatory disorders, including cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis and ascites. Preferred calcium channel blockers are those compounds having high potency and bioavailability. Preferred epoxy-steroidal aldosterone receptor antagonists are 2O-spiroxane steroidal compounds characterized by the presence of a 9alpha,11alpha-substituted epoxy moiety. A preferred combination therapy includes the calcium channel blocker verapamil HC1 (Benzenacetonitrile, (±) -alpha[3[[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]methylamino]propyl]-3,4-dimethoxy-alpha-(1-methylethyl)hydrochloride) and the aldosterone receptor antagonist epoxymexrenone.
