The invention provides a topical pain medication and a method of manufacturing and suing the same. In one embodiment, the medication includes: (1) enriched resveratrol having a concentration of trans-resveratrol therein that substantially exceeds the natural concentrations of trans-resveratrol in naturally occurring resveratrol, and (2) at least one inactive ingredient configured to mix with the resveratrol to form the topical medication. In one embodiment, the method includes: (1) processing resveratrol to increase the concentration of trans-resveratrol therein and (2) mixing at least one inactive ingredient with the resveratrol to form the topical medication.

Described herein are an aspirin or active aspirin derivative and a COX-2 inhibitor, at least one of which has an enteric or partial enteric coating, administered in combination yet delivered sequentially, for the treatment and prophylactic treatment of diseases, symptoms and conditions. In some embodiments, the COX-2 inhibitor has the enteric coating; however, the aspirin or active aspirin derivative may additionally or alternately have the enteric coating. In all embodiments, the drug having the enteric coating or enteric formulation is targeted for absorption in the small intestine or colon, or both the small intestine and the colon.
