This patent is an evolution of previous combination medication patents. Previous combination patents such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,613,354 which is a combination of an NSAID and Proton Pump Inhibitor. Thus the previous patents have covered gastrointestinal prophylaxis but none has covered both gastrointestinal and cardiovascular prophylaxis. This is likely because the cardiovascular side effects of NSAIDs were only recently discovered. This patent thus represents a leap in safety in a class of medication that is used by millions of Americans on a daily basis. This combination would thus decrease morbidity and mortality.

A method of treating gastric acid disorders by administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The inventive compositions can alternatively be formulated as a powder, tablet, suspension tablet, chewable tablet, capsule, effervescent powder, effervescent tablet, pellets and granules. Such dosage forms are advantageously devoid of any enteric coating or delayed or sustained-release delivery mechanisms, and comprise a PPI and at least one buffering agent to protect the PPI against acid degradation. Similar to the liquid dosage form, the dry forms can further include anti-foaming agents, parietal cell activators and flavoring agents. Kits utilizing the inventive dry dosage forms are also disclosed herein to provide for the easy preparation of a liquid composition from the dry forms.
