The present invention relates to a drug delivery system (1) comprising a core (2) made of a first polymeric material (3) and comprising a first active ingredient (4), and a sheath (5) made of a second polymeric material (6) and comprising a second active ingredient (7) dispersed and/or incorporated in the second polymeric material in a concentration of above 10 wt % based on the weight of the sheath (5), and below the percolation threshold of said second active ingredient in the sheath (5). Using the drug delivery system according to the present the inventors have found that it is possible to attain independent and optimal release of two active ingredients without the need for complex assembly of parts and without the need to use sophisticated multi-layer extrusion technology.

A system and method of administering a freezable cough drop to a user. The system includes a quantity of medicated solution and a freezer. The medicated solution is an aqueous solution with medicinal and soothing properties and is portioned into a plurality of dosages. The method begins with the plurality of dosages being positioned within the freezer. At least one arbitrary dosage is removed from the freezer. Moreover, the arbitrary dosage is any one of the plurality of dosages. The arbitrary dosage is placed within a mouth of the user. The arbitrary dosage is dispensed from the mouth into a sore throat of the user by gradually dissolving the arbitrary dosage. The system further includes a blister pack with a plurality of blister compartments that houses the plurality of dosages. An arbitrary dosage is ejected out of the corresponding compartment before being placed within the mouth of the user.

A medicinal supply management system manages distribution of medicinal supply. The system may implement a pooling algorithm for pooling studies together, across different countries, with different protocol labeling parameters and/or blinding parameters. The system may allocate unique identifiers for the pooled studies. The system may implement digital display labels on the medicinal product for up-to-date presentation of relevant information to healthcare providers administering the medicinal product. The system may further implement controlled packaging for maintaining proper storage of the medicinal product, e.g., during transport to the treatment site. The controlled packaging may further include sensors for monitoring the internal environment of the controlled packaging, to maintain proper storage of the medicinal product.
