Abstract: Disclosed are dosage forms comprising a capsule and a fill material, comprising (a) a fill material comprising a dispersion of an active agent and a polymer, the dispersion being granulated, (b) an osmogen, and (c) a glidant. In one embodiment, the dispersion comprises 10 wt % to 90 wt % of the fill material, the osmogen comprises from 5 wt % to 40 wt % of the fill material, and the glidant comprises at least 0.1 wt % of the fill material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for dispensing a single droplet of a fluid, for example a single droplet of an adhesive, onto the inside surface of a cap or onto the inside surface of a body of a capsule, this is useful for rendering a closed capsule with a telescopically engaged cap and body more tamperproof, or for fixing a cap or a body or both, which encloses a caplet or tablet or a part thereof, to the caplet or the tablet.

Abstract: [Problem] Providing a whitened capsule and a whitened film without using any white pigment such as titanium dioxide. [Solution] Provided is a film, a capsule, and a film forming composition, characterized by comprising: a film-forming polymer; and a whitening agent including either a surfactant or both a surfactant and a salt, and characterized in that the surfactant is selected from a fatty acid ester of polyhydric alcohol, a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene glycol, a polyalkylene oxide derivative, an alkyl sulfate ester salt, and a saponin.

Abstract: Spray drying method and systems are disclosed that include one or more single-use components. Single-use spray drying systems can include a drying chamber with an inner surface formed of a polymeric material. The single-use components can be pre-sterilized and sterile packaged to provide improved efficiencies and greater operational flexibility in spray drying systems.

Abstract: Multiparticulate compositions including an active agent and a gelling agent are disclosed. The multiparticulate compositions are prepared by an aqueous-based spray and congeal process.

Abstract: The invention discloses a hard capsule shell comprising pullulan, low acyl gellan, high acyl gellan and KCl.

Abstract: An aqueous composition for making dip-molded comestible hard capsules comprising a film forming capsule base material and one or more colorants each consisting of a hydrophilic coloring foodstuff concentrate.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly includes a nozzle, a manifold, and wand body. The nozzle, manifold, and wand body can be coupled together to provide a robust spray drying system that can withstand elevated temperature and/or pressure feed stock. In some embodiments, an internal shoulder portion of the manifold can engage with a side of a nozzle collar to restrict distal movement of the nozzle relative to the manifold.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a sealing fluid comprising an organic acid, an alcohol and optionally water, the organic acid is lactic acid or acetic acid, the alcohol is isopropanol or ethanol, the sealing fluid is a liquid composition for sealing telescopically joined hard capsules with coaxial partly overlapping body parts.

Abstract: The present invention provides ingestible dosage form articles such as opaque capsules with reduced light transmittance.

Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a capsule composition comprising pullulan, a setting system and a surfactant system that is a sucroglyceride or a sugar fatty acid ester, and methods for making such capsules.

Abstract: The invention discloses double layered delayed-release hard capsules made by double dipping, that is by two consecutive dip molding steps on the same mold pin without removing the film, provided by the first dip molding step, from the mold pin between the two dip molding steps, but dipping the mold pin with this first film in the second dip molding step, each dip molding step is done with a different polymer melt, providing a double layered delayed-release capsule.
