摘要:
Methods and compositions for reducing the burst of beneficial agent from implantable systems is described. Such systems utilize compressed particulates of a beneficial agent, optionally mixed with a dissolution rate modulator or an agent exhibiting a characteristic of low solubility in water, such as a mixture of stearic acid and palmitic acid, dispersed throughout a bioerodible and biocompatible carrier.

A dosage form comprising a gelatin capsule formed with a composite wall and containing a liquid, active agent formulation where the wall comprises a barrier layer formed over the external surface of the gelatin capsule, and expandable layer formed over the barrier layer and a semipermeable layer formed over the expandable layer is described. The dosage forms and methods provide for the conversion of standard gelatin, liquid formulation capsules into controlled, release dosage forms that permit the controlled release of the active agent into the environment of use over time.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an oral active agent delivery system and method for delivering discrete units of an active agent to a patient. An elongate tubular member (10) having first and second ends (12, 14) comprises first (16) and second (26, 28, 30, 32) flow paths. Either of both of said flow paths contains an active agent (18). Liquid is drawn up into the first end of the member, and the liquid and active agent is drawn out of the second end of the member and into the patient's mouth.
摘要:
Methods and devices for maintaining a desired therapeutic drug effect over a prolonged therapy period are provided. In particular, oral dosage forms that release drug within the gastrointestinal tract at an ascending release rate over an extended time period are provided. The dosage forms may additionally comprise an immediate-release dose of drug.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an active agent dosage form and methods of its fabrication which is useful for the prolonged delivery of an active agent formulation to a fluid environment of use. The active agent dosage form is a matrix that has on its surface one or more insoluble bands located in complementary grooves. The invention is also directed to articles of manufacture, methods and systems for fabricating the active agent dosage form.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an osmotically driven agent delivery system for delivering a beneficial agent. The osmotic delivery system includes an osmotic agent which operates by imbibing fluid from an outside environment, causing the release of a beneficial agent. The osmotic delivery system includes a liquid or gel additive surrounding the osmotic agent for enhancing start-up and lubricating the osmotic agent. The liquid or gel additive is an incompressible lubricating fluid which fills any air gaps between the osmotic agent and the walls of a chamber and substantially reduces start-up delays.
