摘要 |
The invention relates to a dissolving strip for drug delivery providing a generally inert water soluble base material attached to the maxillary molars in order to deliver a therapeutic material upon activation by the parotid and other oral salivary glands. The composition of the dissolving strip is a generally inert base material, such as pullulan. The pullulan is impregnated with a therapeutic material to form a solid mixture to carry the therapeutic agent. The dissolving strip has sufficient flexibility to adhere to the 1-4 maxillary molars and acts as a reservoir to deliver therapeutic agents, such as an anti-smoking formula, a diet formula, a sexual enhancement formula, an oral freshness formula, prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, herbs, or vitamins, or any combination of the previously listed. The dissolving strip is capable of delivering the therapeutic agents in a sustained or time released fashion.
