Abstract:
The present invention relates to mass production of micro-containers containing an active ingredient and methods for manufacturing micro-containers containing an active ingredient.
Abstract:
Provided are methods, systems and apparatuses for producing delivery devices, for example, for oral intake of an agent. In the broadest aspect, the method can include assembling one or more layers including one or more materials with an agent or an agent-releasing formulation to form an integrated, for example a laminated, device; folding the integrated delivery device to form a folded integrated delivery device; and at least partially enclosing the fold delivery device to a form suitable for oral delivery. The integrated device can include a first external layer of a first material; a frame of a second material mounted on the first external layer; an agent-releasing formulation housed within the frame; and a second external layer of the first material mounted on the frame.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for storage and provision of medicament wafers 2 serving preferably for contraception or hormone replacement therapy, said device comprising a stack 1 of medicament pockets 4 for the storage and provision of the medicament wafers 2, wherein first medicament pocket areas 10 have openings 8 aligned with one another, and at least one connecting element 9 that is guided through the openings 8 and that connects the medicament pockets 4 to one another and arranges them movably relative to one another.
Abstract:
There is provided a formulation for oral administration (1) including a liquid storing portion (11) in which peripheries of overlaid water-soluble edible films (10) are bonded, a closed space is formed inside the films and water-insoluble layers (21) are laminated inside the water-soluble edible films (10) and an aqueous liquid (W) is stored inside the layers, and a drug storing portion (12a) which is adjacent to the liquid storing portion (11) and in which peripheries of overlaid edible films (10) are bonded and a closed space is formed inside the films and a drug (Da) is stored inside the space.
Abstract:
To monitor the intake of medicaments present in wafer form, a device is made available which is suitable for storage and provision of such forms of administration. This device comprises medicament pouches, which are arranged as a stack of pouches and contain medicament wafers, and it has the following features: a) the device has a support 9 which extends parallel to an edge of the medicament pouches 1 and on which date indicators are arranged, b) a marking 20 is arranged on each of the medicament pouches 1 in such a way that markings 20 arranged on successive medicament pouches 1 in the stack of pouches are each in alignment with successive date indicators. This ensures monitoring of the intake of the wafers.
Abstract:
The invention generally provides a method of coating a material, the method including the following steps: (a) forming a generally elongate coating structure (15), the coating structure having an internal cavity (17) extending at least substantially along its length, and wherein the internal cavity of the coating structure is capable of receiving a core material (21); (b) inserting a core material (21) into the internal cavity (17) of the coating structure (15); (c) compressing the coating structure at a first location (44) along its length so as generally to form a seal at that location; and (d) compressing the coating structure at a second location along its length (45).
Abstract:
A method of making a pharmaceutical composition for delivery to the lower respiratory tract via nebulization within a sterile diluent includes mixing dry powder ingredients including a beta agonist or anticholinergic and one or more additional ingredients to formulate a dry powder mixture for mixing with the sterile diluent.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a dispensing device capable of storing and dispensing strips/films. The dispensing device can deliver films of preselected length providing a predetermined medication dose, when required by user making it convenient for user to store, carry and administer the required doses. The dispensing device can allow retrieval and application of strips with minimal manipulation, permitting single-hand operation, thereby maintaining sterility of the strips/films. The dispenser can hold a pharmaceutical or herbal formulation on a suitable delivery material such as a film in roll form or cartridge form. The roll or the cartridge can last for number of doses sufficient for few days thus enabling a user to carry his medicine requirement in a convenient manner. Further, it provides hygienic storage and offers consistent and precise dispensing without user having to touch the thin film strip.
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing a controlled dosage of bioactive agent is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a print device to eject a drop of a mixture onto an ingestible substrate, wherein the drop of mixture includes a bioactive agent within an ingestible carrier fluid and is between 50 ng and 1000 ng in size; a charge generating device adjacent to the print device to generate charge on the bioactive agent to draw the bioactive agent to the ingestible substrate; a cold fluid removal device adjacent to the charge generating device to remove a portion of the ingestible carrier fluid from the bioactive agent; an application device adjacent to the cold fluid removal device to apply an ingestible layer on top of the ingestible substrate encapsulating the bioactive agent or to fold the ingestible substrate on top of the bioactive agent encapsulating the bioactive agent; and a transfer device adjacent to the print device, the charge generating device, the cold fluid removal device, and the application device to move the ingestible substrate from one device to the next.
