摘要:
A parenteral delivery system and a formulation chamber are disclosed for administering a beneficial agent. The parenteral delivery system comprises a drip chamber and a formulation chamber. The formulation chamber comprises a wall surrounding an internal space and it has an inlet for admitting a liquid into the formulation chamber and an outlet for letting an agent formulation leave the formulation chamber. The chamber houses an agent delivery system for releasing a beneficial agent into a liquid that enters the chamber.
摘要:
A formulation chamber is disclosed comprising a wall surrounding a lumen containing a device for delivering a beneficial agent. The chamber has an inlet for admitting a fluid into the chamber and an outlet for letting an agent formulation leave the chamber. The chamber is adapted for use in an intravenous delivery system for delivering an agent formulation to a patient.

A system is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent at a substantially constant rate over time. The system comprises (1) a wall formed of a microporous polymer, or (2) a wall formed in part of a microporous polymer with the remaining part of the wall formed of a semipermeable polymer. The wall in (1) surrounds a compartment comprising a flexible partition that separates the compartment into a first space containing the beneficial agent and a second space containing a swellable polymer. The wall in (2) surrounds a compartment comprising a flexible partition that separates the compartment into a first space in contact with the microporous wall and containing the beneficial agent, and a second space in contact with the semipermeable polymer containing an osmotically effective solute, or a swellable polymer. In operation, agent is delivered from the system by (a) fluid diffusing through the microporous wall into the second space causing the polymer to swell, or by (b) fluid being imbibed through the semipermeable wall into the second space causing the solute to dissolve and form a solution, or causing the polymer to swell, wherein in (a) or (b), the second space expands against the partition urging it to move into the first space and maintain the agent in a saturated state at the microporous wall, with the agent diffusing from the first space through fluid filled micropaths in the wall from the system at a substantially zero order rate over a prolonged period of time.

An osmotic device is disclosed for delivering an agent to an environment of use. The device comprises (1) a semipermeable wall, surrounding a compartment with a passageway through the wall for delivering an agent from the compartment, and (2) an osmotic system in the compartment comprising a body formed of a polymer having depots consisting of an agent osmotic solute dispersed in the polymer and surrounded individually by a layer of the polymer. In operation, agent is delivered by the device imbibing fluid from the environment through the semipermeable wall into the compartment, with the system imbiding fluid from the compartment into the depots dissolving the solute and filling the depots with solution, thereby causing the depots to form apertures and release agent, with (a) the system delivering the agent at a controlled rate to the compartment and (b) the device delivering the agent from the compartment at a controlled rate through the passageway to the exterior of the device.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for delivering a drug substantially free of rapid precipitation from an osmotic device. The osmotic device comprises a semipermeable wall surrounding a compartment, housing (1) a drug that exhibits limited solubility under neutral and acid conditions; and (2) a compound capable of evolving carbon dioxide in the presence of an acid in the environment of use. The method comprises, (a) imbibing fluid through the wall into the compartment at a rate determined by the permeability of the wall and the osmotic pressure gradient across the wall, (b) forming in the compartment a basic solution containing drug and compound, which solution is delivered from the compartment through the passageway, (c) reacting the compound with the acid in the environment at the device-environment interface for evolving carbon dioxide, thereby, (d) providing an effervescent suspension in the environment that delivers the drug in a finely dispersed form to the environment of use over time. Also, a composition is disclosed comprising the drug and the compound.
