PUMP SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STORING AND DISPENSING A PLURALITY OF PRECISELY MEASURED UNIT-DOSES OF IMIQUIMOD CREAM

摘要

The present invention is directed to airless storage and dispensing systems that include a pump or dispensing package pre-filled with a topical semi-solid imiquimod pharmaceutical formulation (“pump systems”) and methods for storing and dispensing from the pump systems a plurality of precisely measured and uniform unit doses of a topical semi-solid imiquimod pharmaceutical formulation, and more particularly to pump systems, pre-filled with a topical imiquimod pharmaceutical cream and methods for delivering multiple precisely measured unit doses of a topical imiquimod pharmaceutical cream, and methods for using a controlled delivery pump system to store and dispense a plurality of consistent and precisely measured unit doses of a topical imiquimod pharmaceutical cream for use in topically treating a dermal and mucosal-associated condition, such as, external genital warts and/or perianal warts (EGWs), actinic keratosis or actinic keratoses (AK or AKs) and superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC).
