  • Patent number: 11648197
    Abstract: Dissolvable unit dose film constructs are made by providing a muco-adhesive composition including a muco-adhesive polymer matrix in which the muco-adhesive polymer matrix has a water-soluble polymer, water-dispersible polymer, water-swellable polymer, or combinations thereof and a liquid carrier. The method further includes drying the muco-adhesive composition to remove at least a portion of the liquid carrier, forming a muco-adhesive film substrate, forming a composition for an active layer, the composition including a polymer matrix in which the polymer matrix for the active layer composition includes a water-soluble polymer, water-dispersible polymer, water-swellable polymer, or combinations thereof, an active ingredient and a liquid carrier.

  • Patent number: 9814674
    Abstract: A method of forming a kit containing multiple dissolvable unit dose constructs includes providing at least one muco-adhesive composition comprising a polymer matrix, the polymer matrix comprising a water soluble polymer, an active ingredient and a liquid carrier; forming a plurality of dissolvable thin film unit dose constructs by depositing the at least one composition onto a substrate wherein at least two adjacent dissolvable thin film unit dose constructs are formed having a pre-determined different identifiable physical characteristic with respect to the other as a result of the depositing; and packaging the plurality of dissolvable thin films in a single package to form a kit.
