A chemical extraction apparatus has absorbent material for absorbing or adsorbing volatile chemicals from a breath of a user. The chemical extraction apparatus is positioned within such that breaths from the user flow over the absorbent material thereby causing volatile chemicals in the breaths to absorb or adsorb into the absorbent material. The absorbent material is then analyzed to determine the amount of chemicals absorbed or adsorbed into the absorbent material. Based on such analysis, various diseases or conditions can be detected or diagnosed.

Refill and dosage management devices and associated systems and methods for use with computerized oral prescription administration (COPA) devices are provided. In some examples, an apparatus includes a dispensing unit configured to dispense a substance into a reservoir of a mouthpiece of an intended user; and an identification unit configured to, based on a communication from the mouthpiece, determine an identity of the intended user when the mouthpiece of the intended user is coupled to a housing, the housing sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of the mouthpiece.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical dosage form for application to a mucous membrane, in particular to a buccal, intestinal, rectal or vaginal mucous membrane, comprising at least one sheet like, in particular film shaped, foil shaped or wafer shaped preparation comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient, a release mechanism, and a trigger mechanism, wherein the trigger mechanism is adapted to trigger, at a predetermined site of action, in particular of the gastrointestinal tract, of the rectum or of the vagina, the release of the sheet like preparation by the release mechanism.

Drug delivery devices and systems are disclosed that allow precise, controlled drug delivery via the oral palatal mucosa. The drug delivery devices can be easily used by a patient or other user, and reduce the likelihood of (or in some cases eliminate) dilution of the drug by saliva and fluids and inadvertent swallowing or unplanned uptake of the drug by the patient. The drug delivery devices include a body shaped to conform to a user's palate, and cavities in a palate-facing surface of the body that are configured to receive a drug in liquid form.

This invention is a oral health aid device to be places the user's mouth and maneuvered to cover their lower gum area at the teeth root line similar to chewing tobacco. The heath aid has on it a fastener, which can hold in place lozenges, which can contain flavors, or beneficially prescribed drugs, or antiviral and antibacterial antiseptic medication to satisfy the user's needs. This heath aid has been created because of the addiction-taking place recently by the now debunked electronic oil vaporing synthetic smoking devices. This health aid will help the young consumers who were extremely susceptible to anything related to oral fixation relief. Which in the case of very young people is a strong compulsion to use oral devices. This oral health aid will have in desired the ability to be reshaped into a finger ring. So it can be stored conveniently which the need for is exampled by the way baby pacifiers have a ring section attached.

Refill and dosage management devices and associated systems and methods for use with computerized oral prescription administration (COPA) devices are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a housing having a structure sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of a mouthpiece of an intended user; and a dispensing unit coupled to the housing, the dispensing unit configured to dispense a substance into a reservoir of the mouthpiece. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a docking station, at least a portion of a mouthpiece of an intended user; and dispensing, by a dispensing unit coupled to the docking station, a substance into a reservoir of the mouthpiece.

The invention features methods for continuously administering a drug by oral infusion (e.g., via a drug delivery device anchored in the mouth for continuously administering a pharmaceutical composition), and pre-screening subjects and, if necessary, treating subjects with H. pylori to improve the PK performance of the continuous intraoral administration in the subject.
