Pharmaceutical compositions are provided, which comprise effective amounts of an opioid analgesic such as oxycodone, and an antiemetic, such as promethazine, to treat a subject for conditions, including for reducing or eliminating an adverse effect associated with the opioid analgesic.

The present invention provides a simple and improved dose form that is capable of providing a controlled release of GABA.sub.B receptor agonist contained in the core thereof. The invention also provides methods of administering the dosage form and of treating conditions that are therapeutically responsive to GABA.sub.B receptor agonist.

The present invention relates to methods of treating subjects having heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with a sustained-delivery formulation of cardiotonic 5-(pyridinyl)-2(1H)-pyridinone compounds.

Pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms comprising Compound (I) are disclosed.

##STR00001##

Disclosed herein are novel compositions and methods for controlling the release of bile acid sequestrant to the stomach in order to treat or prevent upper GI tract disorders or disorders of the throat. The methods generally include administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one bile acid sequestrant dispersed in a polymeric matrix. The bile acid sequestrant composition may be administered alone or in combination with at least one proton pump inhibitor, and optionally one or more agents chosen from antacids, histamine H.sub.2-receptor antagonists, y-aminobutyric acid-I3 (GABA-B) agonists, prodrugs of GABA-B agonists, acid pump antagonists, protease inhibitors and GC-C agonists.

An oral amphetamine extended release solid dose is described. The compositions contain a combination of an uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex, a barrier coated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex-matrix, and an uncomplexed amphetamine, wherein one or more of these components contains blends of different forms of amphetamines. Either the modified release coated and/or the uncoated amphetamine-cation exchange resin complex may have two forms of amphetamine in a complex with a single cation exchange resin. Following administration of a single dose of the composition, a therapeutically effective amount of amphetamine is reached by about one hour and the composition provides at least a thirteen hour effect post-dose.

The present invention provides a simple and improved dosage form that is capable of providing a controlled release of GABA.sub.B receptor agonist contained in the core thereof. The invention also provides methods of administering the dosage form and of treating conditions that are therapeutically responsive to GABA.sub.B receptor agonist.

Provided herein are fixed-dose combination formulations of a pharmaceutically effective amount of eflornithine together with a pharmaceutically effective amount of sulindac. Also provided are methods of use and of methods of manufacture of these formulations.

A composition for oral use comprising folic acid or derivatives and precursors thereof, an alkalizing agent selected from the group consisting of Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Oxide, Zinc Oxide and mixtures thereof, and optionally Vitamin B12 or derivatives and precursors thereof. The composition is intended for use in the treatment and/or prevention of the disease states caused by deficiency of folate and/or vitamin B12, particularly hyperhomocysteinemia.

The invention provides methods for treating a patient with a disorder, such as a GI disorder or symptoms associated with a GI or non-GI disorder, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a delayed release pharmaceutical composition comprising linaclotide.
