Device for local administration of solid or semi-solid formulations and delayed-release formulations for proposal parenteral administration and preparation process

Abstract

A method for implanting or inserting a solid or semisolid formulation containing at least one active principle uses a device comprising one part set inside the body of the patient and which conditions the solid or semisolid form, brings these conditioning action to the deposit site, injects or inserts in this deposit site, and withdraws after injection or insertion, with one part remaining outside and activating the functions of the device. The invention also concerns a sustained-release solid formulation for parenteral administration comprising a homogeneous mixture of an active principle in non-dispersed state and of a biologically compatible and biodegradable excipient, in which the amount of active principle is at least 50% by weight.
