(b) a second pharmacologically active ingredient selected from paracetamol and propacetamol.
2 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the first pharmacologically active ingredient is (1r,4r)-6′-fluoro-N,N-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4′,9′-dihydro-3′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,1′-pyrano[3,4,b]indol]-4-amine in form of the hydrochloride, hemicitrate or maleate salt.
3 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the second pharmacologically active ingredient is paracetamol.
4 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , which contains the first and the second pharmacologically active ingredient in such a weight ratio that they will exert a synergistic therapeutic effect upon administration to a patient.
5 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the relative weight ratio of the first pharmacologically active ingredient to the second pharmacologically active ingredient is within the range of from 1:30 to 1:1,000,000.
6 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , for use in the prevention or treatment of pain, anxiety or epilepsy.
7 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 6 , wherein the pain is:
peripheral, central or muscle skeletal pain; and/or
acute, subacute or chronic pain; and/or
moderate to severe pain; and/or
neuropathic or psychogenic or nociceptive or mixed pain; and/or
low back pain, visceral pain or headache; and/or
post-operative (post-surgical), cancer or inflammatory pain.
8 . A pharmaceutical dosage form comprising the pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 .
9 . The pharmaceutical dosage form according to claim 8 , which contains the first pharmacologically active ingredient in a dose of from 10 to 1,200 μg.
10 . The pharmaceutical dosage form according to claim 8 , which contains the second pharmacologically active ingredient in a dose of from 100 to 8,000 mg.
11 . The pharmaceutical dosage form according to claim 8 , wherein the dosage of the first pharmacologically active ingredient is within the range of from 1:20 to 20:1 of the amount which is equieffective to the dosage of the second pharmacologically active ingredient.
12 . The pharmaceutical dosage form according to claim 8 , which is for oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, transdermal, intrathecal, intramuscular, intranasal, transmucosal, subcutaneous, or rectal administration.
13 . The pharmaceutical dosage form according to claim 8 , which provides under in vitro conditions immediate release or controlled release of the first pharmacologically active ingredient and/or the second pharmacologically active ingredient.
