摘要 |
The present invention relates to an orally administered agent, containing material which is insoluble or poorly soluble in water and gastro-intestinal fluids, existing in the shape of a spongy formed body composed of an elastic material, which can be deformed by mastication and deglutition, reduced in form and compressed, so that it can pass through the oesophagus and can be decompressed once it has left the oesophagus in drinking liquids and gastro-intestinal fluids, thereby increasing the volume in the stomach, producing an effect of physiological saturation during its time in the stomach and causing delayed release of integrated active substances and constituents, and which then leaves the body via the intestine after several hours in the stomach in an unabsorbed or poorly absorbable state. |
