Abuse-resistant, controlled release opioid tablets are a combination containing an opioid antagonist such as naloxone at a level that needed to suppress the euphoric effect of the opioid, if the combination were crushed to break the controlled release properties causing the opioid and opioid antagonist to be released as a immediate release product as a single dose. The controlled release nature of the table prevents the accumulation of orally effective amounts of opioid antagonist when taken normally. The opioid antagonist is contained in a controlled-release matrix and released, over time, with the opioid.

The invention provides a novel solid pharmaceutical dosage form which includes an opiate, an opiate antagonist admixed with the analgetic (opiate agonist) and an amount of a hydrocolloid containing excipient which is effective to form a non-injectable slurry when the dosage form is contacted with water. In addition the dosage form contains pure naloxone in enteric coated form which is designed to release in the colon to prevent or relieve constipation. Thus the formulation, because of the enteric coated naloxone and the hydrocolloid excipient(s), has reduced side effects as compared with formulations which do not contain these features.

Methods and compositions for treating, managing or ameliorating pain in a subject (preferably, a mammal, and more preferably, a human) comprising administration of a centrally acting (i.e., crosses the blood brain barrier) agonist of a kappa-opioid receptor and a centrally acting opioid antagonist such that the analgesia achieved by this administration is greater than with administration of either the kappa-opioid receptor agonist or the opioid antagonist alone. Preferably the kappa-opioid receptor is nalbuphine or a salt or prodrug of nalbuphine and the opioid antagonist is naloxone or a salt or prodrug of naloxone. Preferred methods of administration include mucosal (e.g. intranasal or pulmonary) and intravenous. Other kappa-opioid receptors include pentazocine and butorphanol.
