Abstract:
A method for a slow-release of drugs from orally dissolving capsule has been described. It releases medicaments in the mouth cavity up to 1 hour. The medicaments may have a therapeutic effect in the mouth cavity and a portion of the drug is delivered to stomach. Thus, the medication may have a local action in the oral cavity and/or have a systemic effect. Mainly, the orally dissolving capsule is administered without an aid of water. Also, large capsules such as size “000” can be administered allowing delivery of large amounts (800 to 1600 mg) of medicament. The medicament can be absorbed through mouth cavity (oral transmucosal absorption) to blood stream bypassing hepatic first pass metabolism. In some instances, a drug(s) is incorporated in the ODC empty shell matrix and no drug composition is filled inside the capsule shell core.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for a slow release of a drug(s) from an orally dissolving capsule comprising: (a) filling therapeutic dose of a drug(s) as a drug composition in a non-gelatin polymeric hard shell capsule containing a sweetener, a sequestering agent, optionally a flavoring agent, optionally a gelling agent; (b) placing the capsule patient in the buccal cavity between the gum and the cheek; (c) allowing it dissolve slowly on its own in saliva without any additional fluid and (d) maintaining the capsule in the buccal cavity between the cheek and the gum, moving in place intermittently until the capsule is completely dissolved slowly releasing the drug up to 60 minutes; wherein the capsule comprises a cap and body, each of the cap and body comprising a polymer.
