Abstract
A method and formulation for delivering a medication in a vaporized state using low temperatures to vaporize the formulation. The formulation contains an inert non-reactive compound that lowers the heat of vaporization of the formulation, and an alkaloid. The formulation may optionally contain glycerin, alcohol, and/or water. Examples of inert non-reactive compounds that can sufficiently lower the heat of vaporization of the formulation include propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and polysorbate. The formulation can be vaporized using a hand-held low temperature vaporizer or atomizer.
Claims18
A method for delivering medicants through inhalation, comprising:
- a) acquiring a medicant solution suitable for vaporization, the medicant solution, comprising:
- i) an excipient comprising propylene glycol present at approximately 1 percent to approximately 30 percent of the excipient, vegetable glycerin present at approximately 1 percent to approximately 30 percent of the excipient, water present at approximately 0.01 percent to approximately 30 percent of the excipient, and alcohol present at approximately 0.01 percent to approximately 30 percent of the excipient, and
- ii) an alkaloid;
- and
- b) vaporizing the medicant solution at a temperature ranging from approximately 90 degrees C. to approximately 385 degrees C. such that an effective serving of the medicant solution is provided to a user for inhalation.
A method for delivering medicants through inhalation, comprising:
- a) acquiring a liquid medicant solution suitable for vaporization, the liquid medicant solution, comprising:
- i) an excipient comprising an inert non-reactive compound, and
- ii) an alkaloid;
- and
- b) vaporizing the liquid medicant solution at a temperature ranging from approximately 90 degrees C. to approximately 120 degrees C., wherein the inert non-reactive compound is polysorbate, and wherein the step of vaporizing the medicant solution comprises using a low temperature vaporizer.
A method for delivering medicants through inhalation, comprising:
- a) acquiring a liquid medicant solution suitable for vaporization, the liquid medicant solution, comprising:
- i) an excipient comprising an inert non-reactive compound, and
- ii) an alkaloid;
- and
- b) vaporizing the liquid medicant solution at a temperature ranging from approximately 170 degrees C. to approximately 200 degrees C., wherein the inert non-reactive compound is propylene glycol.
