(i) a cationic pharmaceutical compound, or an enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, or an isotopic variant thereof, comprising a protonated nitrogen atom,
wherein the cationic pharmaceutical compound is not ketamine; and
(ii) a substituted cyclodextrin comprising a plurality of anionic functional groups, wherein substantially all of the plurality of anionic functional groups of the substituted cyclodextrin are deprotonated, and at least one of the plurality of anionic functional groups acts as a counterion for the protonated nitrogen atom of the cationic pharmaceutical compound,
wherein a molar ratio of the cationic pharmaceutical compound to the substituted cyclodextrin is greater than 1:1, and
wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprising effective amounts of the cationic pharmaceutical compound and the substituted cyclodextrin has an osmolality, when in solution, that is at least about 10% less than a corresponding pharmaceutical composition prepared from a salt of the cationic pharmaceutical compound and a sodium salt of the substituted cyclodextrin.
