Patent

CA 2214788

The invention relates to the controlled release of calcium sulfate as well as to the controlled release of an additive to a calcium sulfate matrix such as medicaments or pesticides. The controlled release is achieved by a pellet comprising calcium sulfate. The pellet is prepared by the process comprising mixing powder consisting essentially of alpha- calcium sulfate hemihydrate, a solution comprising water, and, optionally, an additive and a powder consisting essentially of beta-calcium sulfate hemihydrate to form a mixture, and forming said mixture into a pellet wherein said alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate and beta-calcium sulfate hemihydrate powders have specified properties such as BET surface areas, densities, mean particle sizes, and purities. The dissolution rate of the calcium sulfate pellet is controlled by varying the weight ratio of the beta-calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder to the alpha- calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder from 0 to about 3. The invention also provides a method of delivering medicament in vivo by implanting a pellet prepared with medicament into a human or an animal.
