摘要:
A sustained release aspirin dosage form permits the continuous delivery of aspiring into the gastrointestinal tract for a period of at least eight hours. The sustained release aspirin dosage form comprises a plurality of polymerically coated aspirin crystals each of which comprises an aspirin seed. The majority of aspirin seeds have a mesh size of from about 30 to about 60 mesh. Each of the aspirin seeds is individually coated with a polymeric mixture, which comprises from about 1.5 to about 15 parts by weight ethylcellulose and about one part by weight hydroxypropylcellulose.
摘要:
A sustained release quinidine dosage form comprising a plurality of pellets of an average diameter not greater than about 1 mm. Each pellet comprises a coating of quinidine over a nonpareil seed which is then coated with a mixture of about 3 to about 9 parts by weight ethylcellulose to about 1 part by weight hydroxypropylcellulose. The sum of such pellets in a container constitutes a single sustained release dosage unit of quinidine.
摘要:
An expandable lattice structure is a film of polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol having sufficient thickness to retain its structural integrity upon the application of an osmotic pressure and sufficient thinness whereby said expandable lattice structure is capable of sufficient expansion of its lattice structure under the influence of osmotic pressure whereby drug molecules are permitted to pass therethrough.
摘要:
A method of providing a person subject to a sudden turbulent motion protection from motion sickness which comprises spraying into the nasal passages of said person a sufficient amount of scopolamine whereby said person is protected from said motion sickness upon the entry of said scopolamine into the bloodstream of said patient.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for administering a metered dose of a drug through an oronasal passage for absorption on the mucous tissue without entry of the drug into the gastrointestinal tract of a patient includes introducing an aerosol of the drug into an expanded bag (50) and means (56 and 19) for communicating the drug with the oronasal passage of the patient, which bag otherwise is substantially impervious to the passage of air, collapsing the expanded bag while the means for communication with the oronasal passageway is in position to deliver the drug into the oronasal passage of the patient. The airbag provided has end caps (51 and 52), joined with a collapsible material (53), one of the end caps having an aperture (57) connected to the communicating means.
摘要:
A trinitroglycerol containing substantially disaccharide-free polymeric diffusion matrix for the transdermal systemic delivery of trinitroglycerol through the skin of a patient. The polymeric diffusion matrix contains sufficient trinitroglycerol to be released over a prolonged period of time and comprises a first lower molecular weight, partial hydrolyzed polyvinylalcohol component, a second higher molecular weight, essentially fully hydrolyzed polyvinylalcohol component, and glycerol.
摘要:
Theophylline is provided in a sustained release formulation which comprises a plurality of micropellets of theophylline which is coated over a seed in a first coat with polyvinylpyrrolidone and a second coat of cellulose derivatives. The sustained release theophylline form is sprinkled into the normal food of a patient, particularly a child or elderly patient.
