Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Dosierlöffel für Mikrotabletten gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a measuring spoon for microtablets the preamble of claim 1.
Die Dosierung von Multi Unit Dose (MUD) Formen erfolgt üblicherweise durch Kapseln. Bei MUD-Formulierungen ist der wirksame Bestandteil auf viele individuelle Sub-Arzneiformen aufgeteilt, wie beispielsweise Pellets oder Mikrotabletten.Multi unit dose (MUD) forms are usually dosed by capsules. With MUD formulations, the effective ingredient is on divided many individual sub-dosage forms, such as pellets or micro-tablets.
Das hat den Vorteil, dass der Wirkstoff nach der Einnahme des Arzneimittels über das ganze Magen- und Darmvolumen gleichmäßig verteilt und in geringen lokalen Konzentrationen gleichmäßig freigesetzt wird. Durch Retardierung oder magensaftresistente Formulierung kann somit die Wirkstoff-Freisetzung gezielt gesteuert werden. Nachteilig bei den herkömmlichen MUD-Formen ist für den Patienten die schwierige und aufwendige individuelle Dosierung.This has the advantage that the active ingredient after taking the drug evenly distributed over the entire stomach and intestinal volume and is evenly released in low local concentrations. By Retardation or enteric formulation can thus release the active ingredient can be controlled in a targeted manner. A disadvantage of the conventional MUD molding is the difficult and complex for the patient individual dosage.
Die übliche Abfüllung von MUD-Pormulierungen in Hartgelatine-Kapseln löst dieses Problem nicht. Zum einen werden fixierte Dosismengen des Wirkstoffes vorgegeben und zum anderen können manche Patienten Kapseln nicht oder nur sehr schwer schlucken.The usual filling of MUD formulations in hard gelatin capsules does not solve this problem. On the one hand, fixed dose amounts of the Active ingredient specified and on the other hand, some patients can capsules do not swallow or only swallow very hard.
Durch Öffnen der Kapseln und Einnehmen des Inhalts kann das letztere Problem umgangen werden, doch ist dies ein sehr aufwendiger Weg der Dosierung, da Kapseln und das Füllen und Schließen der Kapseln bei der Herstellung relativ teuer sind.By opening the capsules and ingesting the contents, the latter can Problem can be circumvented, but this is a very elaborate way of Dosage as capsules and filling and closing the capsules at the Manufacturing are relatively expensive.
Eine sichere individuelle Dosierung ist durch Entnahme und Aufteilung des Kapselinhalts jedoch praktisch nicht möglich, da die Inhalte einer oder mehrerer Kapseln auf die geforderte Menge aufgeteilt werden müssten. Das kann ein Patient jedoch nicht oder nur mit großem Aufwand durchführen.Safe individual dosing is possible by removing and dividing the Capsule content, however, practically not possible, since the content of one or several capsules would have to be divided into the required amount. However, a patient cannot do this or can do so only with great effort.
Eine Formulierung der Arzneiform als Haufwerk, d. h. als Füllung in einem Behältnis, und die dosisgerechte Entnahme mit z. B. einem Löffel oder Messlöffel ist insbesondere bei kleineren Volumina, wie z. B, denen die üblichen Kapselinhalten entsprechen, ziemlich ungenau und nur mit großen Schwankungen reproduzierbar. Bei üblichen Pelletformulierungen kommt erschwerend hinzu, dass durch die herstellungsbedingte Unregelmäßigkeit der Korngrößen bei einer Volumenentnahme die Schwankungsbreite noch vergrößert wird und damit die Forderungen der Europäischen Pharmakopöe nach Dosierungseinheitlichkeit, wie sie für Tabletten dort ausgeführt sind, nicht eingehalten werden können.A formulation of the dosage form as a pile, i.e. H. as a filling in one Container, and the dose-appropriate removal with z. B. a spoon or Measuring spoon is particularly useful for smaller volumes, such as. B to whom the usual capsule contents, rather imprecise and only with large ones Variations reproducible. With common pellet formulations This is aggravated by the fact that the manufacturing-related irregularity of the grain sizes with a volume withdrawal the fluctuation range is still enlarged and thus the demands of the European Pharmacopoeia according to dosage uniformity, as for tablets executed there, cannot be complied with.
Mikrotabletten, die einen Durchmesserbereich von 1,0 bis 3,0 mm besitzen, können relativ einfach mit einheitlicher Größe und konstantem Wirkstoffgehalt hergestellt werden. Eine sehr genaue individuelle Abteilung der Dosis könnte zwar prinzipiell durch Abzählen der Mikrotabletten erfolgen, jedoch kann dies dem Patienten nicht zugemutet werden, namentlich wenn er größere Mengen von Mikrotabletten abzählen muss.Micro-tablets with a diameter range of 1.0 to 3.0 mm, can be relatively simple with uniform size and constant drug content getting produced. A very precise individual section of the In principle, the dose could be given by counting the microtablets, however, this cannot be expected of the patient, especially if he has to count large amounts of micro-tablets.
Durch die NL 66782 C ist ein schaufelartiger Dosierlöffel für Tabletten bekannt, bei dem ein Unterteil mit einer Anzahl von Löchern für die Aufnahme der Tabletten versehen ist, die an der Unterseite mittels einer mit dem Unterteil verbundenen Grundplatte verschlossen sind. An dem Unterteil und der Grundplatte ist ein Handgriff befestigt. Das Unterteil ist an allen Seiten mit Ausnahme an einer Seite mit einem Rand versehen, wobei die randlose Seite über eine schaufelartige Öffnung verfügt und dem Handgriff gegenüberliegend ist. Des weiteren ist fest auf dem Rand des Unterteils und in einem Abstand von diesem eine durchsichtige Abdeckplatte befestigt. Die durchsichtige Abdeckplatte ist mit einer quer zur Richtung des Griffes verlaufenden oberen Trennleiste versehen, die über die Abdeckplatte nach oben hinaussteht, und mit einer unteren Trennleiste versehen, die an der Unterseite der Abdeckplatte angeordnet ist, wobei beide Trennleisten und die Löcher in dem Unterteil so angebracht sind, dass sich die Löcher vollständig zwischen dem Handgriff und den Trennleisten befinden. Beim Einstecken des Dosierlöffels in eine Menge von Tabletten verhindert die obere Trennleiste, dass Tabletten auf die über den Löchern des Unterteils befindliche Abdeckplatte gelangen. Die beiden Enden des Randes verjüngen sich zur Spitze hin, wobei an einem dieser Enden ein durchsichtiges Leitplättchen befestigt ist. Wenn nun der Dosierlöffel ausreichend gefüllt aus der Menge mit gleichzeitig erfolgenden Schüttelbewegungen in Richtung Fläche des Unterteils mit den Löchern in eine nach vorn geneigte Stellung gezogen wird, dann wird jedes Loch mit einer Tablette gefüllt und die überzähligen Tabletten gleiten von dem Unterteil zurück in die Menge. Um die somit abgesonderte bestimmte Menge von Tabletten in eine Verpackung zu füllen, wird der Dosierlöffel um eine halbe Drehung gedreht, damit die Teile auf der Abdeckplatte liegen, danach wird der Dosierlöffel um eine viertel Drehung zurückgedreht, wodurch die Tabletten an der glatten Oberfläche der Abdeckplatte entlang in den Teil mit dem Rand gleiten, bei dem das Ende zusammen mit dem Leitplättchen eine Rinne bilden, wo entlang die Teile in das Verpackungsmittel, z. B. eine Schachtel, eingebracht werden können. Für eine derartige Handhabung des Dosieriöffels ist unabdingbar die oberhalb des mit den Löchern versehenen Unterteils angeordnete Abdeckplatte; es wird quasi eine geschlossene Schaufel gebildet, die ausschließlich zum Abzählen von großvolumigen stückigen Gütern aus Großgebinden und zum Abfüllen der mit ihr abgezählten Mengen im Kleingebinde, wozu es erforderlich ist, eine größer Menge aus dem Gebinde herauszunehmen und die überschüssige Menge in das Gebinde zurückzugeben, bevor die abgezählte Menge in ein kleines Gebinde gegeben werden kann. Eine restlose Entleerung des schaufelartigen Behältnisses ist mit einer derartigen Ausgestaltung des Dosierlöffels nicht möglich.NL 66782 C discloses a scoop-like measuring spoon for tablets, in which a lower part with a number of holes for receiving of the tablets is provided on the underside by means of a Lower part connected base plate are closed. On the lower part and a handle is attached to the base plate. The bottom part is on everyone Margin pages except on one side, with the rimless side has a shovel-like opening and the handle is opposite. It is also firmly on the edge of the lower part and attached a transparent cover plate at a distance from it. The transparent cover plate is with a cross to the direction of Handle extending upper dividing strip provided over the cover plate protrudes upwards and has a lower dividing strip, which is arranged on the underside of the cover plate, both Separating strips and the holes in the lower part are installed so that the holes completely between the handle and the dividers are located. When inserting the measuring spoon into a lot of tablets The top divider prevents tablets from getting on top of the holes of the lower part. The two ends of the The edge tapers towards the tip, with one at one of these ends transparent guide plate is attached. If now the measuring spoon is sufficient filled from the crowd with simultaneous shaking movements towards the surface of the lower part with the holes in one after pulled forward inclined position, then each hole with a tablet filled and the excess tablets slide back from the lower part in the crowd. The amount of tablets thus secreted To fill in a package, the measuring spoon is cut by half Rotation rotated so that the parts lie on the cover plate, then the measuring spoon turned back a quarter turn, causing the tablets along the smooth surface of the cover plate into the part slide the edge where the end together with the guide plate form a gutter where along the parts in the packaging, e.g. B. a box, can be inserted. For such handling of the dosing spoon is indispensable above the one with the holes provided lower part arranged cover plate; it becomes a closed one Scoop formed exclusively for counting large-volume lumpy goods from large containers and for filling the your counted quantities in small containers, for which it is necessary, one remove the larger amount from the container and the excess Return quantity in the container before the counted quantity in one small containers can be given. A complete emptying of the scoop-like container is with such a configuration of Dosing spoon not possible.
Es wurde nun eine Vorrichtung gefunden, mit der man auf einfache Weise eine präzise Dosierung durch die Entnahme einer exakten Zahl von Mikrotabletten aus einem Vorratsgefäß erreichen kann.A device has now been found with which one can easily precise dosing by taking an exact number of microtablets can reach from a storage vessel.
