Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical packs and to packaged pharmaceutical products.
- the present invention relates to enema (rectal) packs, delivery nozzles therefor and to packaged pharmaceutical products which include at least one readily oxidizable component.
- the invention also relates to a method of packaging a pharmaceutical composition, which includes a readily oxidizable component.
- Collapsible tubes have been in use for many years for storing and dispensing creams, jellies or pastes, such as dental, shaving and hair dressing creams, pharmaceutical preparations, food mixtures and similar flowable products.
- Common types of collapsible tubes include those having flexible sheet metal walls, formed from aluminium, zinc or lead, and those formed from moulded, or extruded thermoplastic resin materials, such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
- Some metal tubes are integrally formed and comprise a rigid head member, defining a discharge nozzle, and a flexible tubular body, which extends from the head member and which is sealed by crimping, at the other end from the head.
- Other, generally larger, metal tubes have a similar rigid head member, crimped to a flexible tubular body.
- the tubular body can be formed by extrusion or from a generally rectangular sheet of metal rolled into a tube. In the latter case the tubular body is held together by a lengthwise extending crimped seam.
- integrally formed tubes the end of the tubular body remote from the head member is sealed by crimping.
- metal tubes include at least one crimped seam
- atmospheric oxygen can gain access, via the seam, to a product stored within the tube and cause any easily oxidizable component of the product to become degraded.
- many flowable products can react with, or corrode the metals generally used in the manufacture of collapsible tubes.
- an advantage of metal tubes in some applications is that because they are non-resilient and do not spring back into shape after squeezing, they can be more convenient in use than tubes formed from plastic resin materials, which will regain their shape after squeezing.
- Metal tubes which are internally lined with a phenolic resin and which have a latex rubber sealant in their crimped seams are commercially available. However, during filling, the phenolic resin is vulnerable to being scratched and penetrated and the latex is susceptible to chemical attack.
- tubes formed from bare metals are only used to package substantially stable pharmaceutical products, which are not easily oxidized and which do not react on contact with metallic surfaces.
- a reactive pharmaceutical product is to be packed in a collapsible tube
- the type of tube employed is generally one formed from a moulded, or extruded thermoplastic resin material.
- Such tubes do not have crimped seams, or other potentially leaky seals, are substantially inert and, therefore, are substantially immune to chemical attack.
- the form of such tubes is similar to those manufactured from metal, in that they generally comprise a tubular body extending from a head member which defines a discharge nozzle. The opposite end of the tubular body from the discharge nozzle is usually sealed, after the tube has been filled with product, by crimping and the application of heat.
- a conventional enema pack comprises a reservoir for an enema material, with a tubular delivery nozzle dimensioned for deliverying the enema material from the reservoir into the rectum.
- One known form of enema pack comprises a thermoplastic resin tube, manufactured with a thin walled body and head member so as to be sufficiently soft and flexible for dispensing the enema material, with an elongated discharge nozzle providing a suitably dimensioned tubular delivery nozzle.
- Another type of enema pack comprises a bag, which is integrally formed with an elongate tubular delivery nozzle from a soft flexible plastic resin material.
- the walls of both types of enema pack and those of thermoplastic resin tubes are not completely leak proof.
- water can permeate through the walls of a bag type enema pack sufficiently to cause the concentration of an aqueous enema stored in the pack to change, thereby limiting the shelf life of such a product.
- the amount of oxygen which can permeate through the material forming the walls of a plastic resin tube, or of either type of enema pack is sufficient to oxidize and degrade certain readily oxidizable pharmaceutical products.
- 5 ASA 5 amino salisylic acid
- 5 ASA is so readily oxidizable that it is extremely difficult to formulate.
- a most effective and convenient method of administering this drug is as a rectal enema.
- suitable formulations of 5 ASA cannot be stored under normal conditions in conventional enema packs, because oxygen will penetrate the walls of such a pack and, within a short period, cause the 5 ASA to become sufficiently oxidized to be unusable.
- Modified metal tubes could not be considered for use as enema packs since their walls are rigid and cannot be sufficiently easily squeezed, for their contents to be completely expelled into the rectum without difficulty, or causing discomfort to the patient.
- Collapsible tubes comprising a head portion, formed from a plastic resin material, moulded directly onto a laminated plastics-metal foiled tubular body, have been brought into widespread use for storing and dispensing dentifrices (tooth paste), other cosmetics and like flowable products.
- the laminated body of such a tube generally comprises at least one thin metal (preferably aluminium) layer sandwiched between two layers of plastic resin material, which is preferably polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyvinylchloride.
- Tubes of this latter type were developed in order to enjoy the virtues of metal tubes and in order to carry complex and often multi-coloured designs on their exterior surfaces, which could not be successfully formed or retained on metal tubes.
- This latter feature is of a particular advantage in the packaging of cosmetic products and dentifrices where the appearance of the packed product is important.
- an enema pack comprising a collapsible reservoir and delivery nozzle means arranged for conveying matter from the reservoir into a body cavity, characterised in that the reservoir comprises a tube having a thermoplastic head portion, defining an opening into the delivery nozzle means, and a collapsible tubular body comprising a layer of metal foil sandwiched between external and internal layers of plastic resin material.
- An advantage of an enema pack in accordance with this aspect of the present invention is that, when filled with a readily oxidizable pharmaceutical product, such as a 5 ASA composition, or with a composition including a leachable component, it can be stored for long periods, without the need for any additional packaging, or other special precautions. Accordingly, by employing enema packs of the present invention, the expensive and inconvenient double layer packages, which have been employed up to date in conjunction with readily oxidizable pharmaceutical products, can be dispensed with.
- collapsible reservoir could take the form of a collapsible tube as defined, since known collapsible tubes of similar constructions were developed to replace metal tubes and, accordingly, had been considered insufficiently flexible for use in an enema pack.
- the delivery nozzle means comprises self-supporting tube means arranged for detachable engagement with a discharge nozzle means defined about the opening in the head portion of the collapsible tube.
- the delivery nozzle means can comprise self-supporting tube means integrally formed with the head portion of the tube.
- self-supporting is used herein to define a tube which, in use, does not collapse to any significant exten .
- a packaged pharmaceutical product comprising a flowable pharmaceutical composition, including a readily oxidizable component, retained within a collapsible tube, wherein the tube has a thermoplastic head portion, defining discharge nozzle means, and a collapsible tubular body comprising a layer of metal foil sandwiched between external and internal layers of plastic resin material.
- the packaged pharmaceutical product further comprises delivery nozzle means arranged for conveying the pharmaceutical composition from the collapsible tube into a body cavity.
- the delivery nozzle means comprises self-supporting tube means arranged for detachable engagement with the discharge nozzle means.
- the delivery nozzle means can be formed as an integral extension of the discharge nozzle means.
- the discharge nozzle means and/or the delivery nozzle means is formed with a sealed opening and is arranged so that the seal can be removed by cutting or piercing.
- the discharge nozzle means is provided with means for engaging the delivery nozzle means, or a cap or other sealing means for the nozzle opening.
- the packaged pharmaceutical product can be supplied with such a cap and the discharge nozzle opening can be provided with a removable, or pierceable foil, preferably metal foil seal.
- the delivery nozzle means can be supplied detached from the collapsible reservoir, to be installed on the reservoir prior to use.
- thermoplastic head a metal layer can be included in the thermoplastic head, however this has been found to be unnecessary in most cases and, therefore, is not preferred.
- An advantage of all embodiments of the second aspect of the present invention is that the collapsible tube provides an effective barrier to the ingress of oxygen, preventing oxidizing damage to the pharmaceutical composition, while being sufficiently flexible for use as a dispensing means for a rectal enema.
- an enema delivery nozzle for conveying matter from a reservoir into a body cavity, characterised by comprising means for releasably engaging a reservoir, so that matter expelled from the reservoir is passed along the enema delivery nozzle for delivery into a body cavity.
- the enema delivery nozzle is arranged for engaging a discharge nozzle means of a collapsible reservoir in the form of a collapsible tube having a thermoplastic head portion, defining the discharge nozzle means, and a collapsible tubular body comprising a layer of metal foil sandwiched between external and internal layers of plastic resin material.
- the enema delivery nozzle is arranged for screw threaded engagement with a threaded discharge nozzle means.
- the enema delivery nozzle is formed from a plastic resin material and includes an elongate self-supporting tubular portion.
- a pharmaceutical pack comprises a packaged pharmaceutical product, in accordance with the second aspect of the invention, in combination with an enema delivery nozzle, in accordance with the third aspect of the invention.
- the invention provides the use of a collapsible tube having a thermoplastic head portion, defining discharge nozzle means, and a collapsible tubular body comprising a layer of metal foil sandwiched between external and internal layers of plastic resin material, as a collapsible reservoir for an enema pack.
- a composition including 5 ASA is stored in the enema pack or collapsible tube of the present invention.
- the present invention relates to a method of packaging a flowable pharmaceutical composition, including a readily oxidizable component, comprising filling a collapsible tube with said composition, wherein the tube has a thermoplastic head portion, defining discharge nozzle means, and a collapsible tubular body comprising a layer of metal foil sandwiched between an external layer and the internal layer of plastic resin material.
- the collapsible tube can form a part of an enema pack in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- the enema delivery nozzle is arranged for conveying matter from a reservoir into the rectum or the colon.
- the internal layer, the head portion and, preferably, other plastic resin layers of the tube, together with the enema delivery nozzle are formed from a plastic resin material selected so as to be substantially inert, in the sense that it will not undergo anysignificant chemical interaction with a pharmaceutical composition stored within the tube, or passed along the enema nozzle, under normal conditions of use.
- Collapsible tubes suitable for use in certain embodiments of the present invention include those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3260410, 3260411, 2440339 and British Patent Application Nos. 2151984, 2151985, 2151986 and 2168926. Tubes of this type are available from Betts Tubes of Colchester, Essex; Hydroaluminium (Tubefabrikken a.s.) of Norway and; Cobal of France.
- Figure 1 is a section through a collapsible tube, for use in the practice of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a section through an enema delivery tube and
- Figure 3 is a section through an enema pack.
- a tube 1 has a flexible walled tubular body 2 extending from a head portion 3.
- the head portion 3 is moulded from a thermoplastics material and the body 2 is sealed thereto by the application of heat and pressure.
- the head portion 3 defines a reduced diameter discharge nozzle 4 which is provided with external threads 5.
- An internally threaded cap 6 is dimensioned to be screw threadably engaged upon said external threads 5 and to thereby come into sealing engagement with the discharge nozzle 4.
- the wall of the body 2 comprises an internal layer 8, an intermediate layer 9 and an external layer 10.
- the intermediate layer 9 is formed from aluminium and the internal and external layers 8 and 10 are formed from a thermoplastic material.
- the tube body 2 is closed permanently by crimping and heat sealing along the end 7, opposite the head portion 3, after a product has been introduced into the body through the other end 7.
- the preferred thermoplastic material used in forming the tube 1, is polyethylene.
- the internal and external layers 8 and 10 of the tubular body 2 are each about 0.15 mm thick and the intermediate layer is about 0.05 mm thick, giving an overall wall thickness of about 0.35 mm.
- An enema delivery nozzle 11 comprises a marginally tapered tubular portion 12 defining an outlet 13 and extending between the outlet 13 and a collar 14.
- the collar 14 has greater internal and external diameters than the tubular portion 12 and is joined to the tubular portion 12 by an annular step 15.
- An annular ridge 16 is formed on the internal surface of the step 15, around the opening of the tubular portion 12, and the internal surface of the collar 14 is provided with a screw thread 17, dimensioned and arranged for screw threaded engagement upon the external threads 5 on the discharge nozzle 4 of the tube 1.
- the collar 14 should be screwed tightly onto the discharge nozzle 4 of the tube 1, until the annular ridge 16 comes into abutment with the nozzle 4, sealing the tube 1 to the enema delivery nozzle 11. The contents of the tube 1 can then be expelled into the enema delivery nozzle 11 and out through the outlet 13.
- FIG 3 shows an alternative enema pack 20, in which the enema delivery nozzle 11 is in the form of an integral extension to the discharge nozzle (shown at 4 in Figure 1) of the tube 1.
- the same reference numerals, which were employed to identify components in Figures 1 and 2, are used to identify the corresponding components in the enema pack 20.
- the enema pack 20 does not have any screw threads 5, annular ridge 16 or internal threads in the collar 14.
- the collar 14 takes the place of the discharge nozzle 4.
