DISTRIBUIDOR PARA DESCARGAR UN AGENTE ACTIVO EN UN AMBIENTE DE UTILIZACION

摘要

The release pattern of a dispersion type active agent dispenser can be improved by forming the device from a depleted zone containing the agent at a concentration no greater than the saturation and a non-depleted zone containing the agent dispersed in the matrix at a uniform concentration greater than saturation. The depleted zone is disposed between the surface through which the agent is to be dispensed and at least a substantial portion of the non-depleted zone with the interface therebetween disposed at a non-uniform distance from the releasing surface. Certain embodiments are particularly useful for the transdermal administration of drugs.
