Provided are therapeutic combinations or formulations of drugs comprising triple monoamine reuptake inhibitors, melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHRT) antagonists and diazoxide or its formulations and various combinations thereof, these in combination with other drugs or active agents. Provided are methods for the treatment of various conditions, including genetic confirmed syndromes, and diseases, using therapeutic combinations and formulations of drugs as provided herein. Provided are methods for administering triple monoamine reuptake inhibitors (TRIs), melanin concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHRT) antagonists and diazoxide or diazoxide or its formulations, whose dosages are determined using a method as provided herein including empirical methods for safe and predictable titration and to determine the initial therapeutic dose; model-based methods for safe and predictable titration and to determine the initial therapeutic dose and to determine the lowest therapeutic dose or to determine an optimal effective dose, including use of Bayesian pharmacometric models.

The present invention is embodied by a composition capable of chaperoning a typically non-orally available therapeutic or diagnostic agent through the environment of the digestive tract such that the therapeutic or diagnostic agent is bioavailable. The composition may or may not be targeted to specific cellular receptors, such as hepatocytes. Therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, insulin, calcitonin, serotonin, and other proteins. Targeting is accomplished with biotin or metal based targeting agents.
