Multi-Component Analgesic Composition for Pain Relief
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current pain management methods, including medications for headaches, often fail to provide effective relief for 100 million Americans due to ineffectiveness or allergic reactions, necessitating the development of alternative analgesic compositions that can be administered in various forms.
Innovation Solution
A composition comprising an analgesic/antipyretic compound, optionally combined with an analgesic adjunct and/or antihistamine, available in liquid, solid, gel/cream, or gel capsule forms, which can be tailored for specific pain types and administered orally, including formulations with caffeine and diphenhydramine, to address chronic and acute pain, including headaches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional pain medications are administered, then pain relief is provided, but ineffectiveness or allergic reactions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by providing a comprehensive analgesic composition that can treat multiple types of pain (migraine, tension headache, cluster headache, sinus headache, neuropathic pain, cancer pain, fibromyalgia) through a single multi-component formulation containing acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine, and optional adjuncts, reducing the need for multiple different medications and minimizing allergic reaction risks
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite materials by creating a complex analgesic composition combining multiple active ingredients (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) with optional adjuncts (butalbital, hydrocodone, naproxen, ibuprofen, famotidine, magnesium oxide) and inert excipients, where each component contributes different therapeutic properties that work synergistically to provide broad-spectrum pain relief
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple medication options are provided for different pain types, then treatment effectiveness improves, but treatment complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by designing a universal analgesic composition that can address multiple pain types through a single multi-component formulation, eliminating the need for patients to navigate multiple different medications while maintaining adaptability to various pain conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the composition adjustable and adaptable through optional adjuncts that can be added or removed based on specific pain type and patient needs, allowing the same base formulation to dynamically adapt to different therapeutic requirements without increasing overall system complexity
