Pharmaceutical tablet suitable to deliver the active substance in subsequent and predeterminable times
Pharmaceutical tablet suitable to deliver the active substance in subsequent and predeterminable times
Pharmaceutical tablet, capable of delivering the active substance or the active substances, according to a predeterminable release profile, comprising a core with an external partial coating in which said core consists of 3 layers, wherein the upper layer contains an amount of the active substance with suitable excipients, the intermediate layer consists of polymeric material with retarding barrier function and the lower layer contains the remaining amount of the active substance with suitable excipients and said external coating consists of controlled permeability polymeric materials, applied by compression to the lower surface and to the lateral surface of the core
Therapeutic system for the controlled release of active ingredients
A system designed to release one or more active substances in different, previously programmable modes, is described. The system is constituted by a tablet in three layers, two of which (the outer layers) vehicularise the active ingredient(s), whilst the third (the central layer) is constituted of a polymeric barrier which does not contain active substance and has the appropriate characteristics of erodibility or gelation. The tablet is completely coated with a film of polymeric material insoluble in water and/or in aqueous fluids, on which one or more incisions delimiting an area of exactly calculated geometric shape and size, have been made through the use of a laser beam of appropriate power and intensity. The removal of the film inside the incision(s) allows the release of the active ingredient(s) into aqueous fluid in predetermined amounts and umes. The procedure for the production of the aforementioned pharmaceutical form is also described

A system for the controlled release of active ingredients
A new release system is disclosed for releasing one or more active substances vehicularised in it, at a predetermined rate and duration. The system is constituted by a pharmaceutical tablet, coated with a film of polymeric material impermeable and insoluble in aqueous fluids on the coating film, one or more apertures of geometrically precise size and shape are made, through the use of a laser beam of appropriate power and intensity, in a way such that the active ingredient contained in the therapeutic system is released only from the non coated portion of the tablet surface at the desired rate and time. The technology for manufacturing such system is also describe
