Abstract:
A method for attaching a handle to a tablet to form a lollipop utilizes a specific work holder. The work holder has a tooling pallet with a plurality of openings going from a top surface to a bottom surface. A bullet and a spring are located in each opening and held in place by a plate that slides through a groove in the bottom surface of the tooling pallet to block the openings in the bottom surface. Each spring is positioned between a bullet and the plate. A tablet is placed in a cavity of each bullet and a handle is placed in contact with each tablet. High frequency mechanical vibrations, such as ultrasonic vibrations, are applied to a joint interface between each tablet and bullet until the joint interface reaches a molten state. The joint interfaces are then allowed to cool, thereby attaching a handle to each tablet and forming a lollipop.
Abstract:
This invention relates to dosage forms for the delivery of drugs across the oral mucosa having improved transmucosal permeability. More specifically, the invention relates to an oral transmucosal dosage form comprising a primary vehicle comprising a crystallization inhibition agent (CIA) system and a drug, and a secondary vehicle. It also relates to methods of designing and making this dosage form, methods of administering this dosage form and methods of packaging the dosage forms.
Abstract:
A tabletting press for making compressed products that includes an upper punch, a lower punch, a die and a core pin. The core pin is located in the lower punch and moves with respect to the lower punch. Movement of the upper punch and the lower punch toward each other within the die and the location of the core pin create a compressed product having a hole. The product may be a lollipop containing a pharmaceutical.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to non-effervescent, orally disintegrating solid pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising progestin and methods of making and using the dosage forms to treat conditions in females in need thereof.
