46 results about "Drug levels" patented technology

The therapeutic level of a drug in the bloodstream is the range within which that drug is expected to be effective without causing any serious problems to the patient. Your doctor can request a test to measure the amount of a specific drug in the serum portion of your blood.

Apparatuses and methods for titrating drug delivery

A method and apparatus for reducing the workload of titrating drug to effect while leaving clinician users in control of a related procedure is described. A drug delivery device is controlled to achieve a target drug concentration at a selected site in the patient or a predetermined infusion rate waveform. The time profile of the target drug concentration or a predetermined infusion rate waveform is controlled by a drug state model that uses clinical heuristics to implement safe, pre-defined changes in the target drug concentration or infusion rate and user-commanded changes in target drug concentration or infusion rate. The invention allows time to assess the response of the patient to changes in drug level by making small incremental and conservative changes in drug level over time.

Quantitative chronological medical infusion device

InactiveUS20060079831A1Reduce riskReduced glucose levelMedical devicesIntravenous devicesLine sensorHigh rate
The present invention is a medical infusion and aspiration system delivering precisely timed and accurately calculated, adjusted pulsated delivery in high rates of flow delivering an effective profile of pulses tailored to provide momentary spikes of levels of freely available medicines based upon the uptake of the medicine and optimally on real time measurements of the medicine or response of the patient, termed Quantitative Chronological Delivery. The system comprises any pumping mechanism, and optimally a pumping mechanism, and a cassette or cartridge having a reservoir area where the plunger rotates as it advances in reference to the cartridge to provide additional accuracy and overcome the forces of inertia and slip-stick as well as eliminate backlash. Optimally, the systems incorporates an encoded area and an opening for connection to an infusion tube with an in-line sensor area where sampling probes are located. The infusion is adjusted in both amount and duration between pulses to provide quantitatively controlled, chronologically optimized infusion. A motor causes bi-directional pumping to allow for samples to be presented to the sensor area. The system accuracy allows for more concentrated medicines, as a sealed container can eliminate the need for diluting or withdrawing medicine to load a reservoir, and achieves extraordinary accuracy without error correcting software or expensive volumetric measurement and control systems.

Systems and methods for providing gastrointestinal pain management

The present invention includes systems and methods for decreasing the pain and discomfort commonly associated with endoscopic procedures, where such procedures may be performed with lower dosage levels of sedative and analgesic drugs. The invention includes use of an anesthetic collar coupled to an endoscope with a flexible shaft. The anesthetic collar allows lubricants, local anesthetics, dyes, and / or other desirable fluids to be passed through the existing lumen of the flexible shaft into an annulus, where the fluid may be distributed through expulsion pores into the gastrointestinal tract. Utilizing the existing lumens found in endoscopes, the present invention allows those fluids that may reduce the pain and discomfort associated with endoscopies such as, for example, local anesthetics and lubricants, to be distributed in an even fashion throughout the gastrointestinal tract or throughout the length and circumference of the endoscope, where such fluids may reduce the drug level requirements for sedative and analgesic agents. Alternatively, the endoscope may be redesigned for streamlined integration with the anesthetic collar or to accomplish the same function of distributing local anesthetics and lubricants, in an even fashion throughout the gastrointestinal tract or throughout the length and circumference of the endoscope, The invention can also be used with endoscopes without existing lumens.

Methods for ophthalmic delivery of roflumilast

Methods for the ophthalmic delivery of roflumilast. The inventors have made the surprising discovery that the administration of pharmaceutical compositions comprising roflumilast to the cornea preferentially delivers the drug laterally through the ocular surface and anterior tissues of the eye. In contrast to the delivery of roflumilast to the skin, which primarily travels transversely through the various tissues of the skin, or many other topical ocular pharmaceutical compositions which travel through the cornea to the aqueous humor, the delivery of drug to the eye to the cornea travels laterally to the ocular surface and anterior tissues of the eye. Such methods can result in elevated levels of the drug in the cornea and other ocular surface and anterior tissues of the eye (e.g., iris-ciliary body, sclera, conjunctiva, and aqueous humor) relative to the interior or posterior tissues of the eye.

A kind of preparation method of oleanolic acid sustained-release nano-microcapsules

The invention provides a preparation method of oleanolic acid slow-release nano-microcapsules. The aim was to design and optimize oleanolic acid (OA) nanoparticles of poorly water-soluble drugs to improve their oral bioavailability and prolong the duration of therapeutic drug levels. The nanoparticle wall material is an amphiphilic polymer formed by hydrophilic chitosan oligosaccharide and hydrophobic deoxycholic acid. The particle size of nanoparticles of different wall materials is between 200-400nm, and the distribution is relatively uniform. In vitro release experiments were carried out in a simulated gastrointestinal tract environment, and the results showed that oleanolic acid nanocapsules released slowly in simulated gastric juice, and gradually released in intestinal juice; in the initial stage of release in PBS solution, it showed a burst release, and then released slowly; The sustained-release effect of oleanolic acid nano-microcapsules in each solution is remarkable. The oleanolic acid slow-release nano-microcapsules of the invention improve the bioavailability of the oleanolic acid, have obvious sustained-release effect in vitro, and can be used as an effective oral preparation for future liver injury treatment.
