  • Pharmaceutical compositions for the coordinated delivery of NSAIDs
    Patent 6,926,907
    Issued: August 9, 2005
    Inventor(s): Plachetka; John R.
    Assignee(s): Pozen Inc.
    The present invention is directed to drug dosage forms that release an agent that raises the pH of a patient's gastrointestinal tract, followed by a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The dosage form is designed so that the NSAID is not released until the intragastric pH has been raised to a safe level. The invention also encompasses methods of treating patients by administering this coordinated release, gastroprotective, antiarthritic/analgesic combination unit dosage form to achieve pain and symptom relief with a reduced risk of developing gastrointestinal damage such as ulcers, erosions and hemorrhages.
