Abstract: Pursuant to the present invention, it has been found that a modified release composition containing the low permeability and poor solubility drug, lercanidipine, may be prepared which provides for therapeutically effective plasma concentrations of lercanidipine for a period of about 20 to about 25 hours. The modified release composition of the present invention provides modified release of lercanidipine independent of pH and therefore provides release of lercanidipine even upon exposure to the low pH use environments, such as gastric fluid.

Abstract: Pursuant to the present invention it has been found that a modified release composition containing the low solubility and permeability drug, lercanidipine may be prepared that provides for therapeutically effective plasma concentrations of lercanidipine for 24 hours. The modified release composition of the present invention release pulses of lercanidipine based on the pH of the use environment. An effective quantity of dissolved lercanidipine is released throughout the GI Tract.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of achieving fast onset of pain relief for acute pain in a patient in need thereof comprising orally administering a unitary formulation (or oral dosage form) containing an effective analgesic amount of (a) oxycodone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (b) ibuprofen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably, the unitary formulation contains (a) oxycodone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and (b) ibuprofen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a weight ratio of from about 1:20 to about 1:100 and more preferably about 1:40 to about 1:80, based on the weights of molar equivalents of oxycodone hydrochloride and ibuprofen, respectively. Preferably, an amount of oxycodone and ibuprofen effective to provide partial or complete pain relief within 30 minutes is administered. More preferably, the amount is sufficient to provide partial or complete pain relief within 25 minutes.
