Abstract
Abstract Controlled release formulations useful in controlling endoparasitic infestation in animals over a prolonged period of time are comprised of an anthelmintic agent intimately dispersed throughout a copolymeric matrix derived from the condensation of about 60 to about 95 weight percent of lactic acid and about 40 to about 5 weight percent of glycolic acid, said copolymeric matrix being substantially free of polymerization catalyst.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A controlled release biodegradable dosage form useful in the prolonged therapeutic and prophylactic control of endoparasites in domestic animals comprising about 20 to about 80 percent by weight of a anthelmintic agent initimately dispersed throughout about 80 to 20 percent by weight of a copolymeric matrix derived from the condensation of about 60 to about 95 weight percent of lactic acid and about 40 to about 5 weight percent of glycolic acid, said copolymer having an inherent viscosity of about 0.08 to about 0.30 when measured in chloroform, and a molecular weight of about 6000 to about 35000, said copolymer being substantially free of polymerization catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A controlled release biodegradable dosage form useful in the prolonged therapeutic and prophylactic control of endoparasites in domestic animals comprising about 20 to about 80 percent by weight of a anthelmintic agent initimately dispersed throughout about 80 to 20 percent by weight of a copolymeric matrix derived from the condensation of about 60 to about 95 weight percent of lactic acid and about 40 to about 5 weight percent of glycolic acid, said copolymer having an inherent viscosity of about 0.08 to about 0.30 when measured in chloroform, and a molecular weight of about 6000 to about 35000, said copolymer being substantially free of polymerization catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words

Claim 7
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of controlled prolonged treatment of domestic animals suffering from endoparasitic infestation and in need of treatment or suspected of being susceptible to endoparasitic infestation comprising administering an effective dose of a controlled release anthelmintic formulation which is comprised of about 20 to about 80 percent by weight of an anthelmintic agent intimately dispersed throughout about 80 to about 20 percent by weight of a copolymeric matrix derived from the condensation of about 60 to about 95 weight percent of lactic acid and about 40 to about 5 weight percent of glycolic acid, said copolymer having an inherent viscosity of about 0.08 to about 0.30 when measured in chloroform, and a molecular weight of about 6000 to about 35000, said copolymer being substantially free of polymerization catalyst.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of controlled prolonged treatment of domestic animals suffering from endoparasitic infestation and in need of treatment or suspected of being susceptible to endoparasitic infestation comprising administering an effective dose of a controlled release anthelmintic formulation which is comprised of about 20 to about 80 percent by weight of an anthelmintic agent intimately dispersed throughout about 80 to about 20 percent by weight of a copolymeric matrix derived from the condensation of about 60 to about 95 weight percent of lactic acid and about 40 to about 5 weight percent of glycolic acid, said copolymer having an inherent viscosity of about 0.08 to about 0.30 when measured in chloroform, and a molecular weight of about 6000 to about 35000, said copolymer being substantially free of polymerization catalyst.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
