-
(a) a progestin layer comprising 10 ng to 1200 mg of a progestin, 5 mg to 225 mg of an alkali carboxymethylcellulose possessing a 75,000 to 350,000 molecular weight, 0.05 mg to 20 mg of a disintegrant selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylalkylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1 mg to 30 mg of a surfactant, and 0.5 mg to 75 mg of an osmagent; (b) a push layer comprising 50 mg to 200 mg of an alkali carboxymethylcellulose of 500,000 to 1,000,000 molecular weight, 1 mg to 20 mg of a hydroxypropylmethylcellulose of 9,000 to 150,000 molecular weight, and 0.5 mg to 100 mg of an osmagent; (c) an inner coat that surrounds the progestin layer and the push layer, the inner coat comprising a member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and gelatin; (d) an outer coat that surrounds the inner coat, the outer coat comprising a semipermeable composition that is permeable to the passage of fluid and impermeable to the passage of progestin; and
,(e) a passageway through the outer coat and the inner coat for delivering the progestin from the dosage form. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
