Embodiment Construction

[0030] Provided herein is a dual release dosage capsule and a method for making the same. A dual-dose capsule comprises two capsule halves, each capped at one end to form a capsule member. For example, each capsule member may be filled with a different filling material. A drawstring is used to couple the two capsule members together to form a two-dose capsule. The strap is applied to the capsule members to form a cavity between the capsule members, the cavity being adjacent to the outer surface of the capsule member cover and the inner surface of the strap. The strap includes one or more apertures exposing the third chamber to the environment. For example, the holes allow fluid to move into the chamber between the capsule members, thereby facilitating the release of the fill material in a predetermined manner.

[0031] More specifically, in some examples, the caps of each capsule member may be made of different materials, such as materials that dissolve at different rates. ...

Abstract

Provided is a dual dosage form capsule, methods for producing and systems for making the same, which can provide dual release of the two dosages. The dual dosage form capsule has a first capsule member containing a first fill material and a second capsule member containing a second fill material. A band couples the first capsule member to the second capsule member and forms a third chamber definedby an inner surface of the band and each cap of the capsule members. An aperture allows fluid into the third chamber causing the band to at least partially dissolve so that the caps of the capsule members are exposed. The caps of the capsule members can dissolve at the same or different rates to control the timing of the release of the first and second fill materials and hence an active ingredient included within the fill material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of capsules, and in particular to the field of dual release dosage form capsules. The present disclosure also relates to methods, devices and systems for manufacturing dual release dose capsules. Background technique [0002] Conventional capsules for drugs or other powdered, granular or liquid substances are two-part capsules with a telescoping body. For example, the body is generally tubular in shape with a closed end and an open end. One body is generally larger in diameter than the other such that the open end of the larger body can at least partially fit over the smaller diameter body. For example, the body may fit tightly so that the filling material inside the capsule does not escape. In some capsules, a strap may be used to secure the two bodies together. [0003] While such two-piece capsules are known, conventional two-piece capsule designs have several limitations and disadvantages. ...
