Abstract: A method and system of forming a pharmaceutical dosage form within a portion of a blister packaging. The method includes the steps of providing a blister packaging for the dosage form with depressions. A predetermined amount of a drug-containing powder material comprising drug-containing particles is deposited into a substantially uniform powder layer within the depressions. A binding liquid is then deposited in a pattern on the powder layer within the depressions, to bind the particles of the powder layer and form an incremental wetted layer, Excess solvent in the binding material can be removed to form an incremental bound layer. These steps are repeated in sequence at least one or more times to form the pharmaceutical dosage form within the blister packaging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for improved drug bioavailability and disease treatment, including treatment of diseases related to hormone modulation or CNS function. In certain embodiments, the instant invention provides methods for hormone modulation or improving CNS function, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising one or more hydrogel particles, wherein the one or more hydrogel particles are non-toxic and incorporate at least one active agent, wherein the one or more hydrogel particles release the active agent in a time-controlled and sustained manner in vivo.

Abstract: A cervical isolation and delivery apparatus having a cervical cap removably connected to a syringe such that a bottom opening of the cervical cap is in communication with an internal chamber of the syringe. The syringe is an elongated hollow tube with an elongated rod slidable disposed within an internal chamber of the elongated hollow tube. The cervical cap is removably connected to an application end of the elongated hollow tube such that upon insertion of the apparatus into a patient's vagina, the cervical cap covers the patient's cervix while protecting the tissue surrounding the cervix. The patient's cervix is treated by placing medication, e.g.

Abstract: An cervical drug delivery apparatus having an absorbent cylindrical structure with a cervical cap attached to one end. One or more therapeutic agents are applied to the internal surface of the cervical cap. The cervical drug delivery apparatus is housed within an applicator and inserted into a patient's vagina. Upon deployment of the cervical drug delivery apparatus, the cervical cap is automatically positioned over the patient's cervix providing for the direct application of the therapeutic agents on the patient's cervix. Alternative features of the cervical drug delivery apparatus include, a break-away cylindrical structure, a collapsible support structure for the cervical cap, an inflatable means for supporting the cervical cap, and the ability of the cylindrical structure and/or the cervical cap to contain one or more therapeutic agents that can be delivered by outside means.
