A pharmaceutical composition that is substantially free of water comprises at least one orally deliverable dosage unit comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a sulfonamide prodrug and, where the prodrug is readily degradable ex vivo, has means to inhibit such degradation prior to oral administration. Illustratively the prodrug is parecoxib or a water-soluble salt thereof, and the composition has means to inhibit conversion of the parecoxib to valdecoxib. A method of treating or preventing a COX-2 mediated disorder in a subject comprises (a) dissolving at least one dosage unit of such a composition in a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous vehicle to form a solution, and (b) orally administering the solution to the subject before substantial precipitation of insoluble matter occurs in the solution.
一种基本上不含水的药物组合物包含至少一个口服给药剂量单位,其中含有治疗有效量的磺胺原药,如果原药在体内外容易降解,则在口服给药前具有抑制这种降解的方法。举例来说,原药是帕瑞昔布或其水溶性盐,组合物具有抑制帕瑞昔布转化为缬癸昔布的方法。一种治疗或预防受试者 COX-2 介导的疾病的方法包括:(a)将至少一个剂量单位的这种组合物溶解在药学上可接受的水性载体中以形成溶液,和(b)在溶液中出现大量不溶物沉淀之前将溶液口服给受试者。
