  • Publication number: 20230320998
    Abstract: A fiber may comprise an electrospun polymer and a pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical may be dispersed within the electrospun polymer, and may have the form of a crystal, an oil, or a combination thereof. A method of making an electrospun fiber may comprise configuring a receiving surface to receive a polymer fiber, applying a charge to one or more of the receiving surface, a polymer injection system, and a polymer solution ejected from the polymer injection system, and depositing a polymer solution ejected from the polymer injection system onto the receiving surface. The polymer solution may comprise a polymer and a pharmaceutical. A method of treating a disorder in a subject may comprise obtaining such a fiber having an effective amount of a pharmaceutical, applying the fiber to an oral region of the subject, and allowing the fiber to disintegrate, thereby delivering the effective amount of the pharmaceutical to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20210259988
    Abstract: Systems and methods of forming electrospun structures including pharmaceuticals are disclosed. An electrospun structure can include one or more polymers electrospun from a polymer solution comprising a pharmaceutical such that the pharmaceutical is dispersed throughout the one or more electrospun polymers. The pharmaceutical can include a cannabinoid, a phytocannabinoid, a terpene produced by a Cannabis plant, or a combination thereof. The one or more electrospun polymer are configured to degrade over a predetermined time period to deliver the pharmaceutical over the predetermined time period.
