The present invention is directed to methods of treatment and/or management of diarrhea, such as chronic diarrhea using sequential administration of opioid agonists to suppress gut mobility and opioid antagonists to reverse the effect to controllably allow bowel movements. The agonists and antagonists are administered with a time interval in between the administration or between the release of the drugs from a pharmaceutical composition. The invention is further directed to methods of controlling, treating or managing side effects caused by the opioid agonists, specifically the side effects resulting from mast cell activation and/or granulation.

[EN] The present invention is directed to methods of treatment and/or management of diarrhea, such as chronic diarrhea using sequential administration of opioid agonists to suppress gut mobility and opioid antagonists to reverse the effect to controllably allow bowel movements. The agonists and antagonists are administered with a time interval in between the administration or between the release of the drugs from a pharmaceutical composition. The invention is further directed to methods of controlling, treating or managing side effects caused by the opioid agonists, specifically the side effects resulting from mast cell activation and/or granulation. [FR] La présente invention concerne des procédés de traitement et/ou de gestion thérapeutique d'une diarrhée, telle qu'une diarrhée chronique, par l'administration séquentielle d'agonistes des opioïdes pour interrompre la mobilité des intestins et d'antagonistes des opioïdes pour inverser cet effet et autoriser des émissions fécales régulées. Les agonistes et les antagonistes sont administrés en ménageant un intervalle de temps entre les administrations ou entre les libérations des médicaments par une composition pharmaceutique. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant de supprimer, de traiter ou de gérer les effets secondaires causés par les agonistes des opioïdes, spécifiquement les effets secondaires résultant de l'activation des mastocytes et/ou de la granulation.
