| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to formulations comprising therapeutically effective amounts of at least one acid-stable, carrier-mediated transport statin, at least one poorly water-soluble, carrier-mediated transport statin, or at least one large molecular weight, carrier-mediated transport statin, such as atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of their use. The present formulations and methods are designed to exhibit a controlled-release of a therapeutic amount of the statin in the small intestine, thereby limiting systemic exposure of the statin and maximizing liver-specific absorption of the drug. The formulations and methods of the present invention are particularly useful for treating and/or preventing conditions that are benefited by decreasing levels of lipids and/or cholesterol in the body.</p> |
