摘要:
The problem of the invention is to provide a microneedle preparation administration apparatus that prevents overdosing caused by duplicate administration within a treatment range of skin, more reliably administers a prescribed dose of a growth factor at an intended optional depth in the dermis, exhibits an intended effect, and avoids pigmentation side effects. The solution to the problem is a microneedle preparation administration apparatus comprising: a guide tube; a pedestal in which at least a part thereof including a front end surface is housed within the guide tube and slides in length direction; and driving means for driving the pedestal toward a front end part of the guide tube, and microneedle preparations being to be attached to the front end surface of the pedestal, and the microneedle preparations being to be pressed out from a front end part of the guide tube, wherein the microneedle preparation has a first portion having a tip end part and containing an objective substance, and a second portion having a bottom part and not containing the objective substance, and the front end surface of the pedestal is struck on skin at a collision pressure of 30 N to 200 N per 1 cm 2 .

A microneedle patch with which a treatment is reliably completed in a short time when a microneedle is administered into skin or mucous membrane is provided. A microneedle patch (100F) includes a base member (101) and a plurality of microneedles (103g) supported by the base member (101). Each microneedle (103g) includes a top-section layer (104) comprising a biologically active substance to be inserted in dermis (310), and an intermediate layer (106) provided between the top-section layer (104) and the base member (101), having a composition having breaking strength weaker than breaking strength of a composition of the top-section layer (104), and having a thickness of 5 µm and 100 µm inclusive.
摘要:
It is to provide an agent for preventing and treating skin aging, or an agent for treating skin scar that can exert a sufficient effect. An agent for preventing and treating skin aging comprising bFGF for treating aging of the skin that is administered intradermally or subcutaneously, or an agent for treating skin scar comprising bFGF for treating scar of skin that is administered intradermally or subcutaneously is utilized. Preferred examples of aging of skin include skin wrinkle, pigmented spot, sagging skin, rough skin, skin thinning, decrease of skin viscoelasticity, etc., and preferred examples of scar include keloid, hypertrophic scar, scar contracture, etc.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to solve problems of microneedles produced by conventional methods, and provide a microneedle with improved penetrability and shape retainability. A conical microneedle (10) includes a tip part (2) containing a drug and biodegradable polymer, and a base part (4) that does not contain drug, a tip (1) side is formed as a tip-reinforced region (6), a base (3) side adjacent to the tip-reinforced region with or without coating to the tip art of the microneedle(6) is formed as a non-reinforced region (7), and a hardness of the tip-reinforced region (6) is higher than the hardness of the non-reinforced region (7). A microneedle patch including the microneedle (10) according to the present invention can reduce pressing strength on application to a patient, and alleviate pain and fear to the patient.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a microneedle and a method for producing the same that are specialized for individual treatment purposes and can efficiently achieve a treatment effect. The microneedle according to the present invention relates to a microneedle including a drug containing layer, an intermediate layer, and a base layer in order from a tip side, wherein a boundary between the drug containing layer and the intermediate layer has a shape protruding toward the intermediate layer, and a thickness of a central portion of the intermediate layer is smaller than a thickness of a peripheral edge portion. The microneedle according to the present invention can be more easily broken in the intermediate layer than the conventional microneedle, thereby allowing the drug containing layer to be placed to properly target a particular area in epidermis or dermis. Also, drug release from the drug containing layer can be accurately controlled by a shape, a coating, or the like of the drug containing layer, and a range of application of treatment using a microneedle patch can be extended.
