The present invention is a novel combination effective for alleviating pain comprising a pain alleviating effective amount of an endothelin receptor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and from 1 to 3 compounds independently selected from the group consisting of antiepileptic compounds having pain alleviating properties and analgesics, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising same. The administration of endothelin receptor antagonists in these novel combinations results in an improved reduction in the frequency and severity of pain. The incidence of unwanted side effects can be reduced by these novel combinations in comparison to using higher doses of a single agent treatment to achieve a similar therapeutic effect. The present invention is also directed to methods of using effective amounts of the novel combinations and pharmaceutical compositions thereof to treat pain in mammals, including a human.
本发明是一种有效缓解疼痛的新型复方制剂,它包含缓解疼痛有效量的内皮素受体拮抗剂或其药学上可接受的盐,以及1至3种独立选自具有缓解疼痛特性的抗癫痫化合物和镇痛剂及其药学上可接受的盐组成的化合物,以及包含这些化合物的药物组合物。在这些新型组合物中施用内皮素受体拮抗剂,可有效降低疼痛的频率和严重程度。与使用较大剂量的单药治疗以达到类似的治疗效果相比,这些新型组合物可以降低不希望出现的副作用的发生率。本发明还涉及使用有效量的新型组合物及其药物组合物治疗哺乳动物(包括人类)疼痛的方法。
