The invention is a grip for drumsticks. In the preferred embodiment, the invention consists of a cylindrical drumstick being lathed to have one or a plurality of external faceted surfaces in the longitudinal plane about its circumference. In an alternative embodiment the invention has an axial bore and a plurality of external facets in the longitudinal plane in its exterior structure, the axial bore receiving a cylindrical drumstick. In another embodiment the cylindrical drumstick may be retracted or extended within the axial bore of the invention. In another embodiment, the facets forming the gripping means may be knurled. It is irrelevant to the practice of the invention whether the structure is of a unitary, lathed form or a sheath-type, injection molded form. The facets may run the entire length of the drumstick, may be limited to the butt end portion of the drumstick or may be limited to the central portion of the drumstick. An axial bore may be formed in the invention regardless of material of fabrication. The sheath-type, which slips onto a traditional cylindrical drumstick, may be open at both ends or closed at one end. The invention may be practiced regardless of the tip or tips affixed to either or both ends of the drumstick. A retractable stick having alternative brush or tip ends may be inserted within the axial bore of the invention. The invention describes the device and how to make and use it.

A novel neomorphic form of ibuprofen, processes for preparing the ibuprofen, and method for administering the ibuprofen are provided. The neomorphic form is characterized by having a distinctively less bitter taste and causes less burning sensation upon swallowing. The neomorphic form of ibuprofen contains an amorphous ibuprofen. Tests indicate that the neomorphic form is less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract of animals upon administration.

Neomorphic ibuprofen and methods of using same

A non-aqueous, chewable composition for oral delivery of unpalatable drugs is provided along with preparative methods therefor. The composition contains the drug intimately dispersed or dissolved in a pharmaceutically-acceptable lipid that is solid at room temperatures. The composition also has a matrix that contains a granulating agent for the total composition and a rapid dispersal agent and optionally additives such as buffering agents, flavoring agents, surfactants, and the like.

Chewable drug-delivery composition

A novel neomorphic form of ibuprofen and processes for its preparation are provided. The neomorphic ibuprofen is characterized by having a distinctively less bitter and acidic taste commonly associated with conventional ibuprofen and which causes less burning sensation upon swallowing. The neomorphic form of ibuprofen is an amorphous ibuprofen and is prepared by resolidifying supercooled ibuprofen at a process temperature below 0.degree. C.

Low temperature process for preparing neomorphic ibuprofen

A novel neomorphic form of ibuprofen and processes for preparing the ibuprofen are provided. The neomorphic form is characterized by having a distinctively less bitter taste and causes less burning sensation upon swallowing. The neomorphic form of ibuprofen is an amorphous ibuprofen and is prepared by imparting kinetic energy to supercooled ibuprofen.

Palatable liquid therapeutic microemulsion wherein a drug dissolved in propylene glycol is dispersed in fatty ester. Lecithin is the emulsifier.

Non-aqueous microemulsions for drug delivery

Benzyl dimethyl amine is subject to electrofluorination in anhydrous HF to produce perfluoro-N,N-dimethylcyclohexylmethylamine. The obtained perfluoro compound is emulsified with the aid of a nonionic surfactant to form a stable emulsion showing promising use for administration as a blood substitute.
