Title

(EN) CARTRIDGE-BASED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREPARING PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS

(FR) SYSTÈMES À BASE DE CARTOUCHE ET PROCÉDÉS DE PRÉPARATION DE COMPOSITIONS PHARMACEUTIQUES

Abstract

(EN) Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for compounding and preparing pharmaceutical compositions using cartridges and computer-controlled dispensing apparatuses. A cartridge containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient and at least one excipient, diluent, or carrier may be processed using a bladeless planetary mixer to disperse the active pharmaceutical ingredient and form a compounded pharmaceutical composition within the cartridge, after which the cartridge is received by a dispensing device configured to dispense metered quantities into a container under software control. The disclosed techniques further enable preparation of topical pharmaceutical compositions and pharmaceutical film dosage forms, including dispensing onto a substrate and drying using an integrated drying mechanism, thereby supporting automated, accurate, and patient-specific pharmaceutical preparation.

(FR) Des procédés, des systèmes et des dispositifs sont divulgués pour mélanger et préparer des compositions pharmaceutiques à l'aide de cartouches et d'appareils de distribution commandés par ordinateur. Une cartouche contenant un composant pharmaceutique actif et au moins un excipient, diluant ou véhicule peut être traitée à l'aide d'un mélangeur planétaire sans pales pour disperser le composant pharmaceutique actif et former une composition pharmaceutique mélangée à l'intérieur de la cartouche, après quoi la cartouche est reçue par un dispositif de distribution conçu pour distribuer des quantités dosées dans un récipient sous commande logicielle. Les techniques divulguées permettent en outre la préparation de compositions pharmaceutiques topiques et de formes pharmaceutiques sous forme de film, comprenant la distribution sur un substrat et le séchage à l'aide d'un mécanisme de séchage intégré, ce qui permet de réaliser une préparation pharmaceutique automatisée, précise et spécifique au patient.
