Abstract

A combination of a muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonist, a non-anticholinergic antiemetic agent and a non-selective, peripheral anticholinergic agent for the treatment of hypocholinergic disorders of the central nervous system.

Claims

1. A pharmaceutical combination comprising as Components:

(a) a muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonist (MCRA)

(b) a non-anticholinergic antiemetic agent (naAEA); and

(c) a muscarinic receptor antagonist selected from the group consisting of the non-selective, peripheral anticholinergic agents (nsPAChAs);

wherein said MCRA Component (a) is selected from the group consisting of cevimeline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, milameline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof;

xanomeline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and MK-7622 and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof;

said naAEA Component (b) is selected from the group consisting of ondansetron and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, domperidone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof and metoclopramide and pharmaceutically acceptable salt and solvates thereof; and

said nsPAChA Component (c) is oxybutynin in a transdermal patch.

2. The combination of claim 1, wherein said MCRA Component (a) is selected from the group consisting of cevimeline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in an amount (in cevimeline) of from 34.5 mg to 180 mg;

milameline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in an amount (in milameline) of from 2.4 mg to 12 mg;

xanomeline and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in an amount (in xanomeline) of from 90 mg to 450 mg; and

MK-7622 and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in an amount (in MK-7622) of from from 5 mg to 270 mg;

in a pharmaceutical composition in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier;

said naAEA Component (b) is selected from the group consisting of ondansetron and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, in an amount (in ondansetron) of from 4 mg to 64 mg, domperidone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, in an amount, in domperidone of from 5 mg to 30 mg; and

metoclopramide and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, in an amount (in metoclopramide) of from 5 mg to 30 mg;

in a pharmaceutical composition in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier; and

said nsPAChA Component (c) is oxybutynin in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier or vehicle in a transdermal patch releasing from 3.9 mg/24 h to 7.8 mg/24 h oxybutynin.

3. The combination of claim 2, wherein said MCRA Component (a) is cevimeline or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;

said naAEA Component (b) is ondansetron or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and

(c) said nsPAChA is oxybutynin in a transdermal patch releasing 3.9 mg/24 h oxybutynin.
