Abstract: Compositions containing opioid antagonists, particularly alvimopan and its active metabolite, with improved solubility and bioavailability for oral or parenteral administration, injectable dosage formulations, kits, and methods of making and using same are disclosed. In preferred embodiments, invention provides injectable formulations containing opioid antagonists, particularly alvimopan and its active metabolite, having low solubility that may be readily prepared, are stable during storage, and provide maximum levels of opioid antagonists when administered parenterally, particularly via injection. The results are achieved by a combination of processing techniques and component selection.

Abstract: Novel methods for delivering a drug to hospital patients for short-term in-hospital use while minimizing long-term use of the drug. Embodiments are provided in which hospitals are identified which may be eligible to treat patients, for example, perform certain types of surgery, and which have measures in place to limit use of the drug to short-term use. The identified hospitals are preferably registered in a storage medium, including computer readable storage media, and may be authorized to receive the shipments of the drug. The received drug may then be dispensed to the patient.
