Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method whereby a drug can be conveniently injected into the living body, without sticking a needle, from a device that is not in contact with the living body, and a device therefor. Specifically provided is a method for injecting a peptide drug such as insulin, and a device therefor. No special consumables are needed except the drug solution or suspension. The method and device comprise injecting a drug into the living body by electrospraying a solution or suspension of the drug from a nozzle to which high voltage is applied and which is not in contact with the living body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for injecting a drug in a solution or suspension dosage form into a living body, in which the solution or suspension of the drug is electrosprayed into the living body from a nozzle to which a voltage is applied so as to form, between the nozzle and the living body, a potential difference which is sufficiently high for injecting the drug into the living body, wherein the solution or suspension of the drug to be injected comprises deoxycholic ac…
