The disclosure provides a glass syringe or a glass cartridge, for parenterally administering, containing a lipid-based pre-formulation suitable for refrigerated storage, wherein the lipid-based pre-formulation includes 20-80 wt % of a diacyl glycerol having a fatty acid composition of at least 98% oleic acid (18:1), as determined in accordance with method C, 2.4.22 (Composition of fatty acids by gas chromatography), European Pharmacopoeia 9.0; 20-80 wt % of a phospholipid; 1-30 wt % of a solvent; and a bioactive agent.

Lipid-controlled release compositions

A pouch for containing a product, the pouch comprising a first wall () and a second wall (), the first wall and second wall being sealed together in sealed regions (), the sealed regions substantially surrounding a compartment () including a product portion within which a product () can be located, the first wall () comprising a tear strip () extending towards at least a part of the compartment, the tear strip () including a tab portion () at a proximal end, the tab portion () is separated from the compartment region () by a sealed region and is located away from edges of the pouch, the tear strip having tear guiding regions () in the first wall () at first and second opposing edges, the pouch being arranged such that the tab portion () can be grasped and a removal force exerted thereon to cause a tear to extend along each of the tear guiding regions () so that at least a portion of the tear strip () is torn away from the pouch to render the compartment () accessible.

Pouch having tear strip

The invention relates to a pouch for containing a product. The pouch comprises a first wall and a second wall which are sealed together in sealed regions. The sealed regions substantially surround a compartment portion within which a product can be located. The pouch includes a tear initiating weakness located away from an edge of the pouch, the tear initiating weakness comprising an elongate weakness which extends along a first axis such that a user can fold the pouch across the tear initiating weakness and initiate a tear from the folded edge substantially along the first axis, the pouch further comprises at least one tear guiding weakness, said tear guiding weakness extending along a second axis transverse to the first axis such that a tear extending substantially along the first axis will meet the at least one tear guiding weakness and be guided along the second axis.
