Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition of the eutomer of a chiral drug is disclosed whereby the eutomer has a clearance value greater than that of the racemic mixture of the chiral drug. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention allow the delivery of therapeutically effective levels of drugs at doses much lower than would be required when the drug is delivered by conventional injection methods.
