Vaginal ring
First Claim
1. A composite vaginal ring containing a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutically active medicament, consisting essentially of:
- a. a supporting, medicament-free vaginal ring consisting essentially of a physiologically acceptable synthetic resin selected from the group consisting of organopolysiloxane elastomers, polyamides, natural and synthetic rubber, polyesters, polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylenes and having a continuous encircling pocket-like indentation along the outer edge of the annular surface along the central plane thereof adapted to mate with a corresponding smaller, medicament-containing outer encircling annular vaginal ring segment; and
b. a smaller, vaginal medicament-containing outer encircling annular vaginal ring adapted to mate with the continuous encircling pocket-like indentation in the modified annular surface of said supporting, medicament-free vaginal ring along the central plane thereof and consisting essentially of a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutically active nonionic, lipophilic vaginal drug dissolved or uniformly suspended in as elastomeric, cross-linked LTV linear dimethylpolysiloxane resin.

Abstract
A composite vaginal ring containing a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutically active medicament, which comprises:
A. a major supporting vaginal ring consisting essentially of a physiologically acceptable synthetic resin and having at least a portion of the annular surface thereof adapted to mate with corresponding minor, medicament-containing vaginal ring segment; and
B. at least one minor, medicament-containing vaginal ring segment adapted to mate with the modified annular surface of said major supporting vaginal ring and consisting essentially of a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutically active amount of a nonionic, lipophilic drug dissolved or uniformly suspended in an elastomeric, cross-linked LTV linear dimethylpolysiloxane resin.
