Abstract

Provided are compositions comprising unequal mixtures of (R)-amisulpride and (S)-amisulpride, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, where the amount of (R)-amisulpride is greater than the amount of (S)-amisulpride, compositions and medicaments comprising the same used for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, and methods of using same for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, including, but not limited to, dosage regimens. In addition, provided are various formulations thereof, including, but not limited to, formulations employing polymorphs of enantiomeric amisulpride.
