Abstract: A method of treating conditions associated with pain and alleviating the symptoms associated therewith which comprises administering to a mammal, including man, a vanilloid VR-1 antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and an NSAID or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, wherein said VR-1 antagonist or said NSAID may optionally be administered as a sub-maximal amount.

Abstract: A process, and a suitable apparatus, for production of particles of a material in which stream of a dispersion of the material in a solvent and a stream of a compressible fluid antisolvent substance are mixed under conditions such that the substance is in compressible fluid antisolvent state. The mixture then flows along a conduit (17) toward an orifice (18), from which it flows into a downstream region in which the compressible fluid antisolvent substance decompresses and the material is isolated in a particulate state. Preferably the antisolvent substance is a supercritical fluid. The process and apparatus can generate a co-formulation of the material with additives which can be introduced in a suitable aqueous or solvent based carrier vehicle.
