摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for the delivery of an active agent through a body surface (e.g., the skin or mucosa) of a mammal comprising: a housing with a delivery orifice (134) through the housing (102); an active agent reservoir (120) within the housing for containing the active agent where the active agent reservoir is in communication with the delivery orifice; a fluid reservoir (110) within the housing for containing a fluid; and a semi-permeable membrane (108) in communication with the active agent reservoir and the fluid reservoir for permitting the movement of fluid between the active agent reservoir and the fluid reservoir and substantially preventing the movement of the active agent between the active agent reservoir and the fluid reservoir.

The dressings of the invention comprise at least two components: an absorbent substrate having a first skin-facing surface and a second opposing surface; and a discontinuous coating of a semi-solid composition having an ointment-like feel overlying a portion of the first surface of said absorbent substrate. The absorbent substrate is useful as a passive dispenser of at least one active ingredient that may be contained therein. The discontinuous coating is essentially non-adherent to the skin and is useful as an active dispenser of at least one active ingredient that may be contained therein. In preferred embodiments the dressing of the invention contains at least one and more preferably at least two active ingredients intended to provide therapeutic benefit to the skin.

The present invention provides a method of preparing a water soluble film. The method comprises (a) preparing a solution comprising a film former, a water soluble plasticizer, a pharmaceutically active agent, and a solvent; (b) drying the solution at a temperature of from about 50 to about 100° C to form a film; and (c) curing the film at a temperature of from about 15 to about 60° C and at a relative humidity of at least about 30%. The film former is a polyacrylic acid, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, or any combination of any of the foregoing. The water soluble plasticizer contains at least one of a hydroxyl, amido, or amino group and has a boiling point greater than about 150° C. The water soluble film of the present invention may be incorporated into vaginal devices, such as tampons and applicators. This method produces a uniform and homogeneous film which is more flexible and drips less than prior water soluble films, especially those incorporated into vaginal dosage forms. As a result, the film is less irritating. Furthermore, unlike most prior art water soluble films, the film may be shaped to provide a larger contact area within a body cavity, such as the vagina, in order to increase drug delivery. The film is also non-messy.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition comprising a sustained release layer and a fast release layer. The sustained release layer comprises a water-soluble polymer and a first pharmaceutically active agent. The fast release layer comprises a matrix forming agent and a second pharmaceutically active agent. Generally, the composition provides fast and sustained (or controlled) release of a pharmaceutically active agent for at least 6 hours and preferably for at least 1 to 3 days. The composition may be incorporated into a dosage unit form, such as a vaginal insert. The compositions are prepared by freeze-drying.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for transporting a compound through a barrier membrane of a mammal comprising: (a) a vessel (102) having a membrane contacting surface, said surface (104) having a plurality of exposed blades (106) and a channel (108) adjacent to said blades; (b) a reservoir in communication with said channels for storage of said compound; and (c) an electrode in communication with said reservoir, wherein the width of said blades are tapered away from said surface.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for enhancing the transmembrane penetration of benefit agents using a certain non-ionic lipid/surfactant-containing formulation as an enhancing agent, and the compositions used therein. Various active agents, such as anti-dandruff agents, hair growth agents, hair inhibitor agents, anti-acne agents, anti-aging agents, depilatory agents, and depigmentation agents, may be effectively delivered into the skin, hair follicles and sebaceous glands using the compositions of the present invention.
摘要:
Novel "two-in-one" detergent compositions comprised of at least one water soluble silicone agent, at least one cationic conditioning agent, and a detergent. These compositions are suitable for use in shampoos, baths, and shower gels. Also described is a novel delivery system for depositing benefit agents into and onto the skin, nails, and/or hair comprised of at least one water soluble silicone and at least one cationic conditioning agent.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for topical treatment of human nail and skin diseases, including fungal infections, bacterial infections, and psoriatic infections. In addition, this invention relates to a method of treating the general condition of human nails including their strength, rate of growth and appearance. More particularly, the invention relates to an acidified composition and methods of using said composition. Still further the invention relates to an acidified lacquer useful in treating human nails and skin.
摘要:
A gelled oil composition containing an emulsifier, a gelling agent, an oil, and a surfactant which, when applied to the skin in the presence of water, produces a significant amount of foam. After the composition is rinsed from the skin, a non-greasy, oil residue is left thereon.
