US Patent:
5456677, Oct 10, 1995
Filed:
Aug 22, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/293838
Inventors:
John E. Spector - La Costa CA
International Classification:
A61M 3500
US Classification:
604290
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for easily and conveniently self-administering caffeine in combination with a breath freshener. Caffeine, which has important physiological effects as a central nervous system stimulant, is readily, conveniently and effectively administered to humans in a manner neither heretofore recognized nor disclosed, and which uniquely provides for very rapid onset of the stimulatory physiological effect to the user. The caffeine, with a carrier and in combination with a breath freshener, is dispensed as a liquid spray or stream directly onto a person's tongue, from which it is rapidly absorbed in the human system by swallowing and absorption from the intestinal tract or by absorption through the buccal membranes. The caffeine is administered on an as-needed basis in daily quantities of preferably up to 200 mg per four hour period, through one or preferably several metered dosages. The invention is a unique administration method and device, which permits simple and convenient administration of caffeine in a unobtrusive and effective manner on an as-needed basis, with rapid and strong stimulatory effect.
