Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a medicine containing device of a solid oral preparation and an oral administration delivery device containing the same.

background

tablets and capsules are the most convenient and readily acceptable oral dosage form. However, some patients, particularly children and the elderly, often have difficulty swallowing large-sized tablets and capsules; some patients are reluctant to take the drug because of unacceptable taste. Thus, the prior art proposes various administration devices which facilitate swallowing of large-sized tablets and capsules and minimize patient perception of the dose and taste of administration. The following patents and applications relating to sipping device drug containment devices are incorporated herein by reference.

EP 0383503 a1 describes an improved device in which the drug containing component is a mesh, the surface area of the mesh being greater than the cross-sectional area of the lumen of the tube, which serves to retain and locate a unit dose of therapeutic agent in the tube, the device being adapted to deliver the dose through the tube by normal sipping action by the patient.

us patent 6096003 describes a sipping device in which the drug containing part is a stopper which can be used to contain the active pharmaceutical ingredient and which is slid up the lumen by the liquid carrying the stopper, thereby completing the delivery of the drug.

us patent 6109538 discloses a sipping device having a housing in the form of a pair of rectangular mesh screens disposed in a lumen for confining a flavoring object.

us 6333050B 2 describes a sipping device having a one-way valve medicament containing part which is adapted to contain medicament when in a non-sipping state and which deforms to allow passage of liquid when in a sipping state.

us patent 8334003B 2 describes a sipping device comprising an elongate tubular member having a pair of filter means at each end of the tubular member to retain flavouring particles within the filter means to allow flavouring to be drawn into a normal beverage by normal aspiration.

Us patent 6224908B 1 describes a delivery device for an active pharmaceutical ingredient with fluid control. The fluid controller is a porous plug which has small friction with the tube wall, contains the medicine in a non-sipping state, and accelerates the medicine to be delivered into the mouth of the patient under the pushing of the fluid during sipping.

The medicament containing member of the above patent causes problems in practical use. It is well known that API-containing granules or pellets prepared by wet granulation, dry granulation, extrusion spheronization, melt granulation and the like generally have a relatively broad particle size distribution with both granules or pellets that are much larger than the average particle size and fine powder granules and pellets that are much smaller than the average particle size. Therefore, for the function of the medicine containing part, on one hand, the liquid is required to smoothly pass through the medicine containing part and has small resistance, and the patient has no effort when sipping; meanwhile, the aperture of the medicine containing part is required to be smaller than the diameter of all particles or multiple pills, so that the particles or multiple pills are ensured not to leak through the medicine containing part. The two requirements are mutually contradictory, and the pore diameter is ensured to be large enough, so that the resistance of the liquid to pass through is small; however, the larger the pore size, the greater the probability of leakage of smaller particle size particles and pellets. This limits the scope of application and materials containing particles or pellets with a size less than or equal to the pore size of the drug containing member cannot be used with this device unless they are artificially sieved, which reduces the yield and increases the cost.

disclosure of Invention

the invention aims to overcome the defects of leakage of medicine particles or multiple pills and large fluid resistance during sipping of the medicine particles or multiple pills in the device for promoting the swallowing of the medicine in the prior art, and provides a medicine containing device for solid oral preparations and an oral administration delivery device containing the same. The drug containment device of the present invention is used in conjunction with a straw as a unit for containing particles or pellets containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient having a particle size greater than, equal to, or less than the pore size of the drug containment device.

The inventor of the invention finds that the reduction of the liquid resistance and the reduction of the medicine leakage are theoretically opposite propositions and are difficult to balance, so that the technical difficulty of the invention is to find a reasonable solution, not only ensuring the small liquid resistance, but also ensuring that the carried particles and pills do not leak.

mechanistically, the present invention allows two mechanisms for containing drug particles or pellets having a size equal to or smaller than the pore size of the filter element: one is to retain fine particles in the filter element through irregularly staggered pores in the filter element, which requires a certain thickness, for example, a thickness of 0.5mm or more; the other is to form a film on the filter part by a water-soluble polymer material to block the pores of the filter part, when the medicine is sipped, the polymer material is instantly dissolved, and water flows through to drive the medicine to enter the mouth of a patient, and the mechanism has no requirement on the thickness of the filter part.

The invention aims at providing a drug containing device of a solid oral preparation, which comprises a filter component and a supporting component for supporting the filter component, wherein the filter component and the supporting component are mutually matched to form a space for bearing drug particles or pills, and the filter component is provided with one or more pore passages for allowing liquid to pass; when the thickness of the filter component is more than 0.5mm, the pore channels are distributed in the filter component in an up-down crisscross mode, so that the medicine particles or multiple pills cannot pass through the pore channels.

Hereinafter, a mode of arranging the duct of the filter member in a structure in which the duct is zigzag is described in detail:

In the present invention, the filter element is of a type commonly used in the art, preferably a filter membrane. The filter membrane is preferably cylindrical in shape. The thickness of the filter membrane is preferably 0.5 to 20mm, more preferably 0.5 to 15mm, further more preferably 0.5 to 10mm, for example 2 mm.

That is, the filter membrane has a certain thickness, and therefore the pore channels of the filter membrane are arranged in a crisscross structure, preferably, the pore channels on the upper and lower surfaces and inside of the filter membrane are arranged in an irregular and crisscross structure, such as a sponge-like porous structure, or a fluffy structure formed by randomly stacking and pressing a plurality of layers of fibers. Thus, even if the particle size of the drug particles or pellets is smaller than or equal to the pore size of the filter membrane, the drug particles or pellets will not pass through the drug containing device directly as they would through a screen. Due to the tortuosity and the intricate intersection of the filter membrane pore channels, drug particles or pills with small particle size are accumulated on the surface and inside of the filter membrane. As the fluid passes, the drug particles or boluses that accumulate on the surface and inside of the filter membrane are delivered into the patient's mouth.

the material and pore size of the filter member (e.g., filter membrane) and the conditions for setting the production process will be specifically described below:

wherein, the material of the filter membrane is the conventional filter membrane material in the field, including but not limited to one or more of the following materials: polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, cellulose acetate, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, glass fiber, nylon, polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polytetrafluoroethylene.

wherein, the shape of the raw material of the filter membrane is conventional in the field, including but not limited to granular shape, sheet shape, fibrous shape and the like.
