摘要:
Electrotransport drug delivery devices, system and methods of using configured to determine if a current is present between the anode and cathode when drug is not intended to be delivered by the device. These devices/systems may include an off-current module to determine that any current (e.g., which may be inferred by measuring potential difference between the anode and cathode of the device) flowing between the anode and cathode is below a threshold value when the device is not supposed to be delivering drug, thereby preventing unintended delivery of drug and/or alerting a user that unintended delivery of drug may occur.
摘要:
A transdermal analgesic system having reduced potential for abuse, wherein the system provides for the controlled release of the antagonist at a rate sufficient to provide an abuse limiting release rate ratio of the antagonist to the analgesic when the dosage form is subject to abuse is disclosed.
摘要:
An injectable depot composition comprising: (a) a lactic acid-based polymer which has a number average molecular weight ranging from 3,000 to 10,000; (b) benzyl alcohol or benzyl benzoate as a solvent, in an amount effective to plasticize the polymer and form a gel therewith; and (c) bupivacaine.
摘要:
A dosage form and a method are disclosed and claimed for administering a drug in a sustained and constantly ascending rate per unit time to provide an intended therapeutic effect while concomitantly lessening the development of unwanted effects. In particular, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition in a dosage form comprising a dose of a central nervous system stimulant, wherein said dosage form is capable of delivering said drug at a sustained and continuously ascending rate.
摘要:
The device including a plurality of stratum corneum-piercing microprojections, and a solid coating disposed upon the microprojections, wherein the solid coating includes at least one beneficial agent and a biocompatible carrier is provided. The device is applied to the skin of a living animal (e.g., a human), causing the microprojections to pierce the stratum corneum and deliver an effective dose of the agent to the animal.
