ABSTRACT:
An oral medication delivery system and method for pharmaceutically active agents having local and/or systemic effect is provided. The system provides three embodiments of containers in which medication is stably stored, either in liquid suspension or in dry powder form with a delivery liquid, until dispensed for use by a patient. The medication is mixed as required and frozen in the storage container until hard, when it is administered to the patient in the form of a frozen popsicle. One embodiment of the system includes a flexible plastic container which contains the pharmaceutically active agent mixed with a delivery liquid. In other embodiments the medication in powder form and a delivery liquid are stored in a chambered container separated by a rupturable membrane which is ruptured to mix the container contents prior to freezing. The oral medication delivery system of the present invention is particularly well suited for delivering Nystatin to oral candidiasis lesions, particularly to the very young, the elderly and those unable to take medications by traditional administration methods.
