摘要:
The present invention is directed to an active agent dosage form which is adapted for retention in the stomach and useful for the prolonged delivery of an active agent formulation to a fluid environment of use. The active agent dosage form is a polymer matrix that swells upon contact with the fluids of the stomach. A portion of the polymer matrix is surrounded by a band of insoluble material that prevents the covered portion of the polymer matrix from swelling and provides a segment of the dosage form that is of sufficient rigidity to withstand the contractions of the stomach and delay expulsion of the dosage form from the stomach until substantially all of the active agent has been dispensed.

An osmotic system is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent formulation to an environment of use. The osmotic system comprises (a) an outside semipermeable wall, (b) a middle osmotically active layer, (c) a capsule comprising a beneficial agent, and (d) a passageway for dispensing the beneficial agent from the osmotic system.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a fluid-imbibing dispensing device for the immediate or almost immediate and extended delivery of an active agent over a prolonged period of time together with the initially delayed pulse delivery of an active agent to a fluid environment of use. The dispenser comprises a housing having a first wall section and a second wall section in slidably telescoping arrangement with each other, which housing maintains its integrity in the environment of use; an internal compartment surrounded and defined by the housing; a first active agent delivery chamber within a portion of the compartment defined by the first wall section, the first delivery chamber including at least one active agent formulation, an exit means for providing communication between the active agent formulation and the environment, and a first expansion means for dispensing the first active agent formulation through the exit means to the environment immediately and over a prolonged period of time; a second active agent delivery chamber within a portion of the compartment defined by the first wall section and adjacent the open end of the first wall section, the second delivery chamber including at least one active agent formulation; and an expansion chamber within a portion of the compartment defined by the second wall section, for separating apart the first and second wall sections of the housing after exposure to the environment of use for dispensing the second active agent formulation to the environment in a pulse after an initially delayed period of time, the expansion chamber including a second expansion means and a partition layer or push plate.

A dispenser is enclosed for delivering a beneficial agent to an enviroment of use. The dispenser comprising a wall that surrounds an internal space comprising a first mean in the dispenser for changing from a dispenser state to an environment of use state on leaving the dispenser, a beneficial agent in the first means, and a second means in the dispenser for aiding in displacing the first means from the dispenser.
摘要:
An osmotic delivery system is disclosed for delivering a useful agent at a controlled and constant rate modulated by a pulsed delivery of the useful agent to an environment of use.

A dispenser is disclosed for delivering tiny pills to an environment of use. The dispenser comprising a wall that surrounds an internal space comprising a first mean in the dispenser for changing from a dispenser state to an environment of use state on leaving the dispenser, tiny pills in the first means, and a second means in the dispenser for aiding in displacing the first means for the dispenser.
摘要:
An osmotic device is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent to a first environment having a pH of 1.0 to 3.5 inclusive and to a second environment having a pH of greater than 3.5 to 8.0. The device maintains its integrity in the first environment and loses its integrity in the second environment.

摘要:
A dispenser for use in a fluid environment of use which is capable of the delivery of one or a plurality of discrete active agent-containing units in any desired delivery pattern or profile. It also can provide for the initially delayed delivery of an active agent to the environment of use and for high accuracy in the timing of delivery of the active agent.
