    摘要: Osmotically driven drug delivery devices with walls of porous hydrophobic material as the sole diffusion-limiting wall component are disclosed. Despite pores which are considerably larger than the molecular dimensions of osmotically active species in the interior of the device, despite pores which by their hydrophobic character do not permit the passage of liquid water, and despite the absence of a cellulosic semi-permeable membrane, the devices absorb water by osmosis without loss of the osmotically active species, and function in a manner analogous to osmotic pumps of the prior art. By permitting the use of hydrophobic substances as the wall material, the invention permits the device to be constructed entirely from biodegradable materials.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a fluid-imbibing dispensing device for the initially delayed delivery of an active agent to a fluid environment of use and to a method of using the dispensing device. The dispenser comprises a housing having a first wall section and a second wall section in reversibly sliding telescopic arrangement with each other, which housing maintains its integrity in the environment of use; an internal compartment surrounded and defined by the housing; at least one active agent formulation in the compartment; and expansion means and a push plate in the compartment for separating apart the first and second wall sections of the housing after exposure to the environment of use to expose the active agent formulation to the environment of use.

    摘要: A device is disclosed comprising a wall that surrounds a compartment. The compartment comprises a beneficial agent composition and a push composition. A passageway in the wall connects the compartment with the exterior of the device for delivering the beneficial agent at a rate governed, in combination, by the wall, the beneficial agent composition and the push composition through the passageway of the device over time.

    摘要: A diffusional drug delivery device is described which can provide for delayed onset of therapeutic effect and for delivery of the therapeutic agent in predetermined temporal patterns at optimum rates. Delay means are provided between the agent reservoir and the surface through which the agent is released by diffusion to delay the release of agent at a therapeutic rate for predetermined times after application. Suitable means include a delay membrane disposed between the releasing surface and the agent reservoir which membrane is preferably free of undissolved agent and/or is initially impermeable to the agent and thereafter becomes permeable. One or more agent chambers defined by one or more of such membranes may be provided, whereby agents are released in a predetermined temporal pattern at optimal release rates. Delayed permeability enables programmed washout periods to be obtained from the sequential and concurrent application of devices for the administration of drugs, such as nitrates, to which patients may develop a tolerance on continuous administration over extended time periods.

    摘要: An osmotically driven pump is provided that is capable of being miniaturized to a size suited for swallowing or implanting in an animal. The pump may be used to administer a drug in fluid form after an initial activation period during which substantially no drug is administered. The basic components of the pump are a shaped semipermeable membrane that encapsulates an osmotically effective solute and preferably a drug or other beneficial agent and a discharge port through which the drug or other beneficial agent is dispensed. A semipermeable or microporous outer cover surrounds the semipermeable membrane and seals it from an external aqueous environment. A water-swellable composition is operatively positioned between the end of the semipermeable membrane and the outer cover. Preferably, a water wicking layer at least partially surrounds the semipermeable membrane and is also sealed within the outer cover. In operation, the pump is placed in an aqueous environment. Water from the environment passes through the semipermeable/microporous portion of the outer cover into the water-swellable composition. The water-swellable composition absorbs water, expands, and in piston-like fashion displaces the outer cover, thereby exposing the semipermeable membrane to the aqueous environment and activating the osmotic pump. The time required for the water-swellable composition to absorb water, expand and displace the outer cover provides an initial activation period during which substantially no drug is delivered by the pump.
