摘要:
A composition for augmenting soft tissue and drug delivery is provided. The composition includes an active ingredient, a carrier, and a cross-linking agent, wherein the carrier is cross-linked with the cross-linking agent and the active ingredient is combined with the cross-linked carrier into a combination having a therapeutic effect. Techniques are also provided for producing a composition for augmenting soft tissue. Also, techniques are provided for soft tissue augmentation. Additionally, techniques are also provided for delivering a composition.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions are provided which contain hollow fine tube drug delivery systems. The compositions comprise a pharmaceutically suitable carrier, preferably in the form of a capsule, tablet, suspension, or suppository, and at least one drug delivery system which consists essentially of (1) a polymeric tube having a membrane outer sheath and a hollow core, and (2) at least one drug compound contained within the core, said system contained in the composition in an amount sufficient to deliver a therapeutic amount of the drug contained therein at a predetermined rate over a predetermined period of time. By varying the polymer, the permeability of the outer sheath, the drug, the drug concentration in the hollow core of the tube, the tube diameter, the tube length, the tube core diameter, and the sealing of the tube ends, a wide variety of drug therapeutic amounts, rates and dosing times can be achieved.
