What are the advantages of the Adapplicator?
By avoiding the gastrointestinal tract, using mucodermal administration, the medication is not subject to the damaging acidic surroundings of the stomach and enzymes (gastrointestinal digestion.) The administration is independent of physiological factors such as gastrointestinal passage time, mixing with chime and the type of food. The first-pass-effect in the liver is avoided and the medication is not immediately subject to metabolic degradation. The Adapplicator is ideally suited in cases of vomiturition, swallowing deficiencies and pathological modifications of the small intestines (e.g. malabsorption.) With exact administration, the contact time with the mucous membrane can be influenced arbitrarily as well as dosage accuracy is improved as partial swallowing of the dose together with saliva is avoided. In comparison to drops and orally dissolving tablets, the parenteralia seldom show taste problems after mucodermal administration. Parenteralia usually do not contain any alcohol (alcohol problem) and significantly fewer preservatives (allergic potential) in comparison to other common kinds of administration. As opposed to intramuscular, intracutaneous and intravenous injections, the risk of injuring a vessel as well as viral or microbial infection do not exist with mucodermal administration. The system is quickly available and the place of administration is easily accessible.
- Contact-free administration and hence no risk of infection (AIDS, hepatitis). No injury potential as with injections.
- Can be used under most unfavourable conditions at work and when doing sports on land, in the water or in the air (e.g. high waves).
- Absorption through highly vascularized mucous membrane.
- Active agents are avoided in the enzymatic digestion
- Fast effectiveness
- Independent of interactions in the gastrointestinal tract, such as malabsorption or maldigestion
- The first-pass-effect in the liver is avoided – metabolic degradation.
- Patients afraid of injections, poor vein conditions, nervous patients and emergency patients can be treated with ampoule goods. It is not necessary to switch to oral medication.
- Therapeutic medication concentrations can be more quickly and effectively administered as with gastrointestinal absorption depending on the medication.
