Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a single droplet of a fluid, for example a single droplet of an adhesive, onto the inside surface of a cap or onto the inside surface of a body of a capsule, this is useful for rendering a closed capsule with a telescopically engaged cap and body more tamperproof, or for fixing a cap or a body or both, which encloses a caplet or tablet or a part thereof, to the caplet or the tablet.

Abstract: A tamperproof dosage form article comprising: a core, wherein the core comprises a first end and a second end; a first shell on at least a portion of the first end of the core; a second shell on at least a portion of the second end of the core; wherein the first and second shells comprise one or more locking protrusions extending along at least a portion of the circumference and inner surface of the shells, and the core comprises one or more locking recesses, and wherein at least a portion of the shells proximal to the locking protrusions is elastically deformable and arranged such that each one locking protrusion is snapped into each one of the locking recesses once inserted over a predetermined portion of the core to provide a locking force between the core and the shells.

Abstract: A tamperproof dosage form for oral administration comprising: a caplet comprising first and second ends, a middle region extending between said first and second ends, parallel and oppositely disposed top and bottom faces, and a land interposed between the top and bottom faces and extending along a perimeter of the caplet on a plane parallel to a caplet length axis; and first and second shells, each comprising an open end and a closed dome-shaped end, each fitted over at least a portion of the caplet, the portion comprising at least the first and/or second ends of the caplet and at least part of the middle region. An adhesive substance being arranged between the caplet and the shells at least over a portion of the top and/or bottom faces proximal to the first and second ends of the caplet and a corresponding portion of an inner surface of the closed dome-shaped end of the shells to fixedly join the shells to the caplet.

Abstract: A tamperproof dosage form for oral administration comprising a cap and a body each comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, the cap and body being arranged to telescopically engage with each other such that an overlap region is 5 formed between a portion of the outer surface of the body and a portion of the inner surface of the cap, said overlap region comprising an overlap length extending parallel to a centerline of said dosage form, wherein an adhesive substance is comprised throughout substantially the entire overlap length bonding said cap to said body.

Abstract: A tamperproof dosage form for oral administration comprising a cap and a body each comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, the cap and body being arranged to telescopically engage with each other such that an overlap region is formed between a portion of the outer surface of the body and a portion of the inner surface of the cap, said overlap region comprising an overlap length extending parallel to a centerline of said dosage form, wherein an adhesive substance is comprised throughout at least a portion of the overlap length bonding said cap to said body. The adhesive substance being essentially free of organic solvent.
