Claims11
A sublingual delivery system, comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a base portion comprising a recessed lip;
- a cap portion dimensioned to receive the recessed lip of the base portion such that the base portion and cap portion are connected and aligned along a common axis;
- and
- the base portion and cap portion both comprise an internal void;
- and
- a pressurized sublingual delivery device comprising:
- a mouthpiece integral with an actuator;
- an actuator discharge nozzle;
- a metered valve;
- a metal canister;
- and
- a cylindrical receptacle housing:
- wherein the metal canister contains a micellized liquid formula and a propellant;
- wherein the metered valve is crimped to the metal canister;
- wherein the actuator is in contact with and supported by a surface of the metered valve, and is movably coupled to the cylindrical receptacle housing;
- wherein the metal canister is positioned within the cylindrical receptacle housing;
- wherein the mouthpiece, metal canister, metered valve, actuator and cylindrical receptacle housing are all in alignment about the common axis;
- wherein the pressurized sublingual delivery device is positioned within the internal void;
- and
- wherein the actuator and the metered valve are configured such that, upon axial movement of the actuator with respect to the metered valve, in the direction of the housing cylindrical receptacle, a predetermined dosage of micellized liquid formula is supplied from the metal canister.
