  • Patent number: 11478427
    Abstract: The most prevalent pharmaceutical dosage forms at present, the oral-delivery tablets, are granular solids. An inherent limitation of such granular solids for drug release applications is the unpredictability of the microstructure. As a result, the drug release rate and other properties are difficult to control, and their range is also limited. Presented herein, therefore, is a solid dosage form with predictable microstructure and properties. The dosage form includes a drug-containing solid comprising a three dimensional structural framework of one or more two-dimensional structural elements or sheets.

  • Patent number: 9763960
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a system in film form for transmucosal administration of steroid hormones. An administration system for steroid hormones which dissolves in the mouth and which releases with a high bioavailability is disclosed. The administration system in film form dissolves in the mouth preferably in a period of less than 30 min, and the steroid hormone entering the bloodstream transmucosally from the administration system leads to a rapid rise in the concentration in the blood. It is thus possible to achieve a maximum concentration of this steroid hormone in the blood in a period of less than 60 min after administration.
