Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (null) lansoprazole for the treatment of S ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of lansoprazole. The optically pure (null) isomer is also useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. (null) Lansoprazole is an inhibitor of Hnull release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for the treatment and prevention of disorders and conditions including, but are not limited to, erectile dysfunction, affective disorders, weight gain, cerebral functional disorders, pain, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, chronic disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, migraines, and incontinence. The methods comprise the administration of a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and optionally an additional pharmacologically active compound. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are also disclosed that comprise a dopamine reuptake inhibitor and optionally an additional pharmacologically active compound. Preferred dopamine reuptake inhibitors are racemic or optically pure sibutramine metabolites and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and clathrates thereof. Preferred additional pharmacologically active compounds include drugs that affect the central nervous system, such as 5-HT3 antagonists.
Abstract:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions employing (null) cetirizine, (null) cetirizine, or racemic cetirizine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a leukotriene inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or decongestant for the treatment, management, and/or prevention of inflammation, asthma or symptoms thereof, allergic disorders such as allergic rhinitis, and dermatitis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for the prevention, treatment, or management of gastrointestinal disorders or symptoms thereof, employing two or more agents or compounds to provide a triple site action on 5-HT3 receptors, 5-HT4 receptors, and at least one of H2 receptors and proton pumps.

Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing N-desmethylolanzapine for the treatment of psychosis in humans. N-Desmethylolanzapine exhibits a lessened liability toward drug-drug interactions than olanzapine and a more predictable dosing regimen than olanzapine. N-Desmethylolanzapine is also useful for the treatment of acute mania, mild anxiety states, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic disorder, excessive aggression, substance abuse, depressive signs and symptoms, tic disorder, functional bowel disorder and fungal dermatitis.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing olanzapine-N-oxide for the treatment of psychosis in humans. Olanzapine-N-oxide exhibits a lessened liability toward drug-drug interactions than olanzapine and a more predictable dosing regimen than olanzapine. Olanzapine-N-oxide is also useful for the treatment of acute mania, mild anxiety states, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic disorder, excessive aggression, substance abuse, depressive signs and symptoms, tic disorder, functional bowel disorder and fungal dermatitis.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (null)-isomer of bupropion, which is a potent drug for treating depression, Parkinson's disease, obesity, weight gain and other disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of (+) norcisapride or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its (-) stereoisomer for treating or preventing disorders of the central nervous system in humans, The obtained pharmaceutical preparations exhibit greater efficiency and at the same time less occurrence of side effects if compared with preparations containing also (-) stereoisomer.
Abstract:
A method of preparation of a highly pure salt of R,R-formoterol L-tartrate is disclosed. The process provides the most thermodynamically stable polymorph by recrystallization of a novel polymorph.
