Definitions
- the present invention relates to a self-standing (intact) lubricious (self- lubricating) hydrogel composition comprising gellan gum and a biologically-active medicinal ingredient.
- This invention also relates to a process for preparing such a composition comprising gellan gum for subsequent release in a human or animal whereby a therapeutically effective amount of the biologically- active ingredient is provided to and delivered via any one of oral, vaginal and rectal administration in an effective useable manner to the recipient (patient).
- Underdosing a patient can happen when a patient does not get all of his/her does of an active therapeutic agent. This underdosing fails to provide the response sought by the physician. Overdosing can result in adverse reactions that could be detrimental to the patient. Slow and uncertain response time for the onset of an observable reaction to a drug in pill form when taken orally makes it difficult to determine when a proper dose for a particular patient has been administered; the physician may not learn for an hour whether the patient was underdosed or overdosed. Compliance, which is providing the right amount of medication at the appropriate intervals, is extremely important to medical personnel and patients.
- Injections can sometimes be given to avoid using oral routes of administration. But injecting a drug (generally intravenously or intramuscularly) can result in rapid entry of the drug into the patient's bloodstream. Injection changes the removal rate of the drug from the body because the drug is not delivered to the body's liver at the same rate as with a pill. And injections are not for everyone. Sometimes injections can cause psychological stress and worsen a patient's debilitated condition so that injections may be undesirable in such situations.
- This invention provides an alternative to the use of pills and pill- crushing techniques and injections for administering determined (known) therapeutic amounts of medication to patients by the use of a self-standing (intact) lubricious gel containing a determined (known) therapeutic amount of medication for the patient.
