This review presents the most common disease entities in which combinations of NSAIDs and spasmolytic drugs are used to reduce pain. The benefits of fixed-dose combination products (FDCs) are that they improve the response in people with insufficient monotherapy. Using the synergy or additive effect of drugs, it is possible to obtain a significant therapeutic effect and faster action with the use of smaller doses of individual drugs. In addition, one active ingredient may counteract adverse reactions from the other. Another essential aspect of the use of FDCs is the improvement of medical adherence due to the reduction in the pill burden on patients. It is also possible to develop a fixed-dosed combination product de novo to address a new therapeutic claim and be protected by patents so that the manufacturer can obtain exclusive rights to sell a particular FDC or a formulation thereof. The proposed fixed-dose combinations should always be based on valid therapeutic principles and consider the combined safety profile of all active substances included in the medicinal product. This review aims to identify which combinations of NSAIDs and spasmolytics have been developed and tested and which combinations are still under development.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to qualitatively predict drug-excipient binding interactions for stable drug formulation of a pravastatin and ezetimibe fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet. Methods: Drug impurity-excipient interactions under accelerated conditions (40°C/75% relative humidity) for 4 weeks were confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. Results: Pravastatin impurity was affected by four excipients under accelerated conditions for 4 weeks. Ezetimibe was affected by two excipients. Any other results were within the acceptance criteria. XRD analysis for physical stability revealed characteristic peaks of pravastatin and ezetimibe at a diffraction angle of 2θ (pravastatin: 4.1–24.4°, and ezetimibe: 13.62–29.59°) without a change in the crystalline form after 4 weeks. DSC and TG analysis showed evidence of stability in Alu-Alu foil. Conclusion: Thus, the tested excipients were confirmed to be compatible with pravastatin and ezetimibe and can be used in FDC bi-layer tablets.
