摘要:
A substrate is robotically picked up at a station and transported to a measuring station to measure the distance to a reference. The substrate is aligned to a robot before measurement. The measured substrate is then transported to a pharmaceutical or diagnostic powder/grain deposition station where the powder/grains are controllably deposited on the substrate to predetermined thicknesses over a plurality of powder/grain collection zones. The deposited powder/grains are then measured to determine the thickness and area covered by the deposited powder/grains at each collection zone. The substrate is then transported to a lamination station and each collection zone of powder/grains is welded to a cover substrate. The system remembers which collection zones are out of specification so that they can be later selectively discarded.

Intravenous solutions are manufactured and distributed in batches by gathering raw materials and components for manufacturing containers for intravenous solutions, and active ingredient but excluding solvent. In a central manufacturing plant, critical steps are performed such as dispensing predetermined amounts of the active ingredient into holders. The products of the central manufacturing plant are packed into shipping containers which are distributed to respective decentralized manufacturing plants where the contents are unpacked, manufacture of containers is completed, solvent is obtained, intravenous solution is mixed, and the containers are filled, hermetically sealed and sterilized in an autoclave.
摘要:
A process is provided for the production of a flat administration form with a dosable portion of drugs or of a flat-shaped device for the dosable release of volatile substances, such as aromatic substances, to the ambient air by using high-volatile or thermolabile dosing media in liquid or semisolid state as the ingredients of the administration form or of the device by means of printing processes. A free-flowing preparation of the ingredients is knife-coated in a measured amount into at least one volumetrically defined cavity of a flat printing block. A substrate to be charged with the ingredients or dosing media, respectively, is gradually led as web-shaped material under web tension over the cavity of the printing block and pressed into the filled cavity by means of a mechanical pressure device whereby the substrate takes up the ingredient from the printing block in a dosed amount.
摘要:
Compositions and methods of manufacture for producing a medicament composition capable of absorption through the mucosal tissues of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus. The present invention relates to such compositions and methods which are useful in administering lipophilic and nonlipophilic drugs in a dose-to-effect manner such that sufficient drug is administered to produce precisely a desired effect. The invention also relates to manufacturing techniques that enable therapeutic agents to be incorporated into nondissolvable drug containment matrixes which are capable of releasing the drug within a patient's mouth. An appliance or holder is preferably attached to the drug containment matrix. Employing the present invention the drug may be introduced into the patient's bloodstream almost as fast as through injection, and much faster than using the oral administration route, while avoiding the negative aspects of both of these methods. The nondissolvable drug containment matrix may include permeation enhancers to increase the drug absorption by the mucosal tissues of the mouth. The matrix composition may also include pH buffering agents to modify the saliva pH thereby increasing the absorption of the drug through the mucosal tissues.
摘要:
A device for shaping a semi-moist material into spheres without substantially disintegrating and pulverizing the material, whereby a disc (2) is rotatably arranged in the horizontal plane, which disc (2) on its upper side is arranged to receive a material to be shaped, and thereby is provided with a waffle patterned surface (4), and on its under side is provided with at least two wings (7) arranged substantially radially to the rotational axis of the disc (2), and substantially perpendicular to the under side of the disc (2); that the disc on its upper side, at its periphery has an annular, smooth surface (6), and that the disc (2) is arranged to be rotated against a cylindrical wall (8), whereby between said disc (2) and said wall (8) there is provided an annular slot (9) for allowing the passage of air.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a method for the non-contact application of letters or symbols to the exterior surfaces of uncoated tablets or uncoated tablet cores, which comprises dotting color solution or suspension by means of an ink-jet printer in specific quantity in the form of discrete droplets of specific volume onto the exterior surfaces of the uncoated tablets or uncoated tablet cores.
摘要:
A dosing container for dispensing liquid medications or other liquids includes a compressible body portion and a tubular dosing chamber with an opening. The diameter of the dosing chamber is chosen on the basis of the liquid viscosity so that liquid will remain in the chamber when it is above the body. Annular grooves in the chamber walls improve its performance.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising an edible web having deposited thereon or at least partially thereon a particulate medicament, the webs being thereafter fabricated and finished to pharmaceutically elegant solid dosage forms having no medicament exposed on an exterior surface. The doseage forms have a consistency of release of medicament which can be controlled to exacting specifications. The disclosed solid dosage forms are prepared by high speed automated equipment and the process by which they are made is characterized by non-destructive quality control analysis and performance evaluation both conducted on-line and integrated into the manufacturing operation. Included in the scope of the disclosed invention are certain apparatus and methods of manufacture.
