Abstract: This invention related to methods of treating, preventing and managing various pulmonary diseases or disorders using stereomerically pure (R,R)-formoterol in combination with other pharmacological agents such as leukotriene inhibitors and neurokinin receptor antagonists. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising (R,R)-formoterol and other pharmacological agents are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a dopamine agonist and sedative agent. In a preferred embodiment, the dopamine agonist is optically pure (S)-didesmethylsibutramine. In a preferred embodiment, the sedative agent is optically pure (S)-zopiclone or optically pure (S)—N-desmethylzopiclone. In a preferred embodiment, the dopamine agonist is optically pure (S)-didesmethylsibutramine; and the sedative agent is optically pure (S)-zopiclone or optically pure (S)—N-desmethylzopiclone. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are useful in the treatment of restless-leg syndrome and periodic-limb-movement disorder, as well as various sleep disorders.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing two or more active agents that when taken together can be used to treat, e.g., insomnia and/or depression. The first component of the pharmaceutical composition is a GABA receptor modulating compound. The second component of the pharmaceutical composition is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, a 5-HT2A modulator, or dopamine reuptake inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises eszopiclone. In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises eszopiclone and fluoxetine.

Abstract: Methods for the prophylaxis, treatment, or management of irritable bowel syndrome using (?) norcisapride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its (+) stereoisomer are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel methods using, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising, ziprasidone metabolites. The methods and compositions of the invention are suitable for the treatment of neuroleptic and related disorders. The invention further encompasses methods of preparing ziprasidone sulfoxide and ziprasidone sulfone.

Abstract: Methods for the prevention, treatment, or management of apnea, apnea disorders, bulimia, nervosa, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary incontinence, bradycardia, bradyarrhythmia, syncope, other disorders, or symptoms thereof using (+) norcisapride, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its (−) stereoisomer.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (−) lansoprazole for the treatment of ulcers in humans while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of lansoprazole. The optically pure (−) isomer is also-useful for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux. (−) Lansoprazole is an inhibitor of H+ release and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to gastric hypersecretion such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment, management, or prevention of apnea and apnea disorders, or symptoms thereof, using a therapeutically effective amount of substantially optically pure R(+) ondansetron, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its S(−) stereoisomer
