Patent Claims: |
1. A method for treating pain comprising administering a solid oral unit dose of a pharmaceutical composition containing 18 mg of diclofenac acid to a subject, wherein
the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 5000 nm, and wherein the unit dose, when tested in vitro by USP Apparatus I (Basket) method of U.S. Pharmacopoeia at 100 rpm, at 37.degree. C. in 900 ml of 0.05% sodium lauryl
sulfate in citric acid solution buffered to pH 5.75, has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 75 minutes.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 3000 nm. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 60 minutes. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 45 minutes. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 30 minutes. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 2000 nm. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1900 nm. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1700 nm. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1500 nm. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 60 minutes. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 45 minutes. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 30 minutes. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the pain is chronic pain or acute pain. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the unit dose is administered at least once daily. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein a single unit dose provides perceptible pain relief. 16. A method for treating pain comprising administering a solid oral unit dose of a pharmaceutical composition containing 35 mg of diclofenac acid to a subject, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 5000 nm, and wherein the unit dose, when tested in vitro by USP Apparatus I (Basket) method of U.S. Pharmacopoeia at 100 rpm at 37.degree. C. in 900 ml of 0.05% sodium lauryl sulfate in citric acid solution buffered to pH 5.75, has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 95%, by weight, is released by 75 minutes. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 3000 nm. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 60 minutes. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 45 minutes. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 30 minutes. 21. The method of claim 16, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 2000 nm. 22. The method of claim 16, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1900 nm. 23. The method of claim 16, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1700 nm. 24. The method of claim 16, wherein the D(90) of the diclofenac acid, on a particle volume basis, is less than 1500 nm. 25. The method of claim 16, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 60 minutes. 26. The method of claim 16, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 45 minutes. 27. The method of claim 16, wherein the unit dose has a dissolution rate of diclofenac acid such that 94%, by weight, is released by 30 minutes. 28. The method of claim 16, wherein the pain is chronic pain or acute pain. 29. The method of claim 16, wherein the unit dose is administered at least once daily. 30. The method of claim 16, wherein a single unit dose provides perceptible pain relief. |
