摘要:
A sheet-shape adhesive preparation for promoting tooth-movement in orthodontics comprising a layer of a pharmaceutical composition containing as the active ingredient a prostaglandin (e.g. prostaglandin E.sub.1, prostaglandin E.sub.2, and prostaglandin F.sub.2.alpha.) in admixture with one or more high molecular weight compounds and a flexible base sheet, a process for the preparation thereof, and a method for promoting tooth-movement in orthodontics by applying the sheet-shape adhesive preparation to the mucous membrane of gingiva. Said preparation can be kept for a long period of time without being dissolved in saliva and without irritation or unpleasant feeling when applied to the mucous membrane of gingiva and hence can show the tooth-movement activity of the active prostaglandin for a long period of time.
摘要:
A protective skin matrix is provided which is particularly suited for the protection of burned or wounded patients. The matrix may be either cured, applied in sheets, or painted or sprayed directly onto the burned or wounded patient. The protective skin matrix includes polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylalcohol, and glycerol.
摘要:
A mixture of nitroglycerin and a water-insoluble vinylpyrrolidone polymer provides a polymeric matrix which gradually releases nitroglycerin upon application to the skin of a patient in the form of a film, gel or ointment. The water-insoluble vinylpyrrolidone polymer may be an uncrosslinked copolymer or a crosslinked homopolymer or copolymer. The polymer provides increased stability and reduced volatility of the nitroglycerin while permitting slow and sustained release of the drug upon topical application to the skin.
摘要:
A polymeric diffusion matrix is provided comprising from about 2 to about 60% glycerol, from about 2 to about 15% polyvinylalcohol, from about 2 to about 10% water soluble polymer with hydration sites which in combination with the remaining ingredients yields a matrix capable of sustained release of a drug dispersed therein, and the balance water, the percentages being by weight.
摘要:
A substantially dry, impregnated wipe having therein iodine and means for retaining the iodine from escape therefrom, the iodine being present in an amount from about 1% to about 15% by weight of the wipe and in an amount sufficient to provide virucidal activity. The iodine is preferably present in an amount of from about 2% to about 5%. A flexible paper substrate is preferred, and the most preferred substrate is facial tissue. The iodine retaining means is preferably a suitable stabilizing surfactant present in an amount sufficient to complex the iodine, but preferably not substantially in excess of an amount sufficient to complex the iodine. A highly preferred stabilizing surfactant is polyoxyethylene (40) sorbitol septaoleate, present in weight ratio to iodine of from about 1:3 to about 2:1, and most preferably about 1:2.A method of reducing transmission of respiratory viral infections, which includes providing a substantially dry nasal wipe material of the type described and contacting such material with nasal surfaces in the presence of nasal discharge, and, preferably, thereafter wiping to dry hand surfaces with such material.
摘要:
An implantable drug depot for the treatment of diseases of the bone or bone marrow. The depot consisting of a matrix in which at least one active ingredient is incorporated and contains at least one adjuvant agent to control the kinetics of the drug release. The matrix material consists of resorbable sintered calcium phosphate composed of CaO and P.sub.2 O.sub.5 in a ratio between 5:1 and 2:1.
摘要:
A polymeric diffusion matrix containing a vasodilator is provided comprising from about 2 to about 60% of a polar plasticizer, e.g., glycerol, from about 2 to about 15% of a matrix component, e.g., polyvinylalcohol, from about 2 to about 10% of a water-soluble polymer with hydration sites, e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone, which in combination with the remaining ingredients yields a matrix capable of sustained release of a vasodilator drug dispersed therein, and the balance water, the percentages being by weight.
摘要:
A shaped mass resorbable in the body, comprises collagen and a bioresorbable binding agent for collagen, the binding agent being selected, e.g., from polymers of C.sub.2-16 .alpha.-hydroxyalkanoic acids, polymers of natural amino acids, hydrolyzed collagen or hydrolyzed elastin.
摘要:
The disclosure is directed to dosage forms for buccal administration of a drug and are directly applicable to the interior surfaces of the mouth. The dosage form is comprised of a support member, which is water insoluble, waterproof and flexible, a moisture activated, adhesive precursor applied to one surface of the support member and an active ingredient applied to the central portion of the support member either directly or dispersed in a matrix. In one embodiment, a recess is provided in the support member to receive the active ingredient. When the dosage form is applied directly to the interior surface of the mouth, contact with saliva activates the adhesive and causes the support member to adhere to the interior surface of the mouth, thereby exposing the active ingredient to a limited area of the oral mucosa while isolating the active ingredient from the remainder of the oral environment.
