  • Publication number: 20110182954
    Abstract: An orally-administered agent is provided. The orally-administered agent comprises an intestinal medicine-containing layer containing a medicine to be released in intestines and having surfaces; intestinal collapse-controlling layers provided directly or through an arbitrary layer on the surfaces of the intestinal medicine-containing layer, respectively, at least a part of the intestinal collapse-controlling layers being collapsed in the intestines, and each of the intestinal collapse-controlling layers having a surface opposite to the intestinal medicine-containing layer; and gel-forming layers provided directly or through an arbitrary layer on the sides of the surfaces of the intestinal collapse-controlling layers, respectively, wherein the gel-forming layers are swelled and gelatinized by absorbing water to form a gel. The intestinal collapse-controlling layers are constituted of a material containing an enteric material to be dissolved by being in contact with a body fluid in the intestines.

  • Publication number: 20100278899
    Abstract: An edible film to be ingested from an oral cavity of a living body to a body thereof is provided. The edible film is comprised of a laminated body consisting of a plurality of layers. The laminated body has surfaces and the plurality of layers include two surface layers forming of the surfaces of the laminated body. At least one of the two surface layers is disposed as an antiadhesive layer for preventing the edible film from adhering to an inside wall of the oral cavity by dissolving with water. This edible film is a film that it is difficult to adhere to the inside wall of the oral cavity, and even if it adheres to the inside wall, it is possible to easily peel off the edible film therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20100255066
    Abstract: An orally-administered agent comprised of a laminated body having surface layers is provided. The laminated body comprises a medicine-containing layer containing a medicine and having surfaces; and at least one gel-forming layer provided on one of the surfaces of the medicine-containing layer as one of the surface layers of the laminated body. The at least one gel-forming layer includes a gel-forming agent to be swelled and gelatinized when absorbing a water-based liquid. A water absorption speed per 1 g of the gel-forming layer with respect to water of 37° C. is 0.5 g/(g·s) or higher. A gel fraction of the gel-forming layer is 20 mass % or more when the gel-forming layer is dipped into an aqueous solution of 0.9 mass % of sodium chloride having a temperature of 37° C.
