An apparatus for removing components from solutions, in particular a dispensing device having a container body defining a solution retaining chamber therein, the container having an outlet for dispensing the solution from the chamber and means for removing a component from the solution as the solution is dispensed from the chamber through the container outlet. A method is provided for administering to a patient a pharmacologically active substance which substance is stable only at a pH value which is extreme in the acidic or alkaline region and at which pH value the substance cannot be administered without causing discomfort and/or injury to the patient. The substance is maintained in a solution or dispersion at the pH at which it is stable until the time of administration. At this time the substance is administered through a chamber containing an ion exchange resin which changes the pH of the solution or dispersion to a value which will not cause discomfort and/or injury to the patient.
一种从溶液中去除成分的装置,特别是一种分配装置,它有一个容器体,其中限定了一个溶液保持腔,容器有一个出口,用于从腔中分配溶液,当溶液通过容器出口从腔中分配时,用于从溶液中去除成分的装置。本发明提供了一种向患者施用药理活性物质的方法,该物质只有在 pH 值处于酸性或碱性极端区域时才稳定,而在该 pH 值下施用该物质不会对患者造成不适和/或伤害。在给药之前,该物质一直保持在其稳定的 pH 值溶液或分散液中。此时,通过一个含有离子交换
树脂的腔室给药,该
树脂可将溶液或分散液的 pH 值改变到不会对患者造成不适和/或伤害的值。
