PRAVASTATIN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF THEIRUSE |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to formulations comprising a therapeutically effective amount of pravastatin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of their use. The present formulations and methods are designed to release little or no pravastatin in the stomach but release a therapeutic amount of pravastatin in the small intestine, thereby limiting systemic exposure of the body to pravastatin and maximizing hepatics-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.
