摘要

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising 1-[(3-cyano-pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-1-yl)-8-[3-(R)-amino-piperidin-1-yl]-xanthine or a pharmaceutically acceptable form thereof as pharmaceutically active compound for the therapy of a metabolic disorder or metabolic disease of a predominantly carnivorous non-human animal. It is especially useful for the therapy of diabetes and related diseases of predominantly carnivorous mammals like cats or dogs. The invention further provides respective uses of such compositions and of 1-[(3-cyano-pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-1-yl)-8-[3-(R)-amino-piperidin-1-yl]-xanthine or pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof.
