Provided are immediate or prolonged administration of certain potassium ATP (KATP) channel openers, optionally in combination with growth hormone, to a subject to achieve novel pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, therapeutic, physiological, metabolic and compositional outcomes in the treatment of diseases or conditions involving KATP channels. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations, methods of administration and dosing of KATP channel openers that achieve these outcomes and reduce the incidence of adverse effects in treated individuals. Further provided are methods of co-administering KATP channel openers with other drugs (e.g., in combination with growth hormone) to treat diseases of humans and animals (e.g., Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), and the like.
本发明提供了对受试者立即或长期施用某些
钾 ATP(K
ATP)通道开放剂(可选择与生长激素联合施用)的方法,以在治疗涉及 K
ATP 通道的疾病或病症时实现新的药效学、药代动力学、治疗学、生理学、代谢和成分结果。此外,还提供了 K
ATP 通道开放剂的药物制剂、给药方法和剂量,这些药物制剂、给药方法和剂量可实现这些结果,并降低受治疗者不良反应的发生率。此外,还提供了将 K
