  • Patent number: 7824588
    Abstract: The invention relates to film products containing desired levels of active components and methods of their preparation. Desirably, the films disintegrate in water and may be formed by a controlled drying process, or other process that maintains the required uniformity of the film. Desirably, the films may be exposed to temperatures above that at which the active components typically degrade without concern for loss of the desired activity.

  • Publication number: 20100150987
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for making an edible film having a substantially uniform distribution of components, which includes the steps of combining a water-based film polymer solution and a slurry-type mixture comprising a water-active component and a solvent; mixing the polymer solution and slurry-type mixture for about 10 minutes or less; dispensing the mixed solution and slurry-type mixture to form a film; and drying the film to evaporate the water and solvent. Films made by the process are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100040727
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a film composition with an improved uniformity of active composition. The invention includes a method including the steps of forming a flowable film composition comprising an edible water-soluble polymer, a polar solvent and a particulate active suspended therein, where the ratio of solids to liquids is at least about 95 to about 5 and where the composition comprises a mixture having compositional uniformity per unit volume; directing the flowable film composition to a transfer trough, the transfer trough including a first rotating roller and a movable transfer substrate upon which to form the film; and maintaining uniformity of the flowable film composition during the residence time in the trough by maintaining the rate of composition entering the transfer trough and the level of the flowable film composition in the transfer trough at a substantially constant level. Methods of administering the active are also contemplated.

  • Publication number: 20100021526
    Abstract: The invention relates to pH modulated films and methods of their preparation. The film compositions include at least one component having a non-neutral pH when combined with water; and a pH modulated polymer system selected to reduce or prevent synerisis when combined with the non-neutral component in combination with aqueous media. The films demonstrate a non-self-aggregating uniform heterogeneity. Desirably, the films disintegrate in water and may be formed by a controlled drying process, extrusion process, or other process that maintains the required uniformity of the film.

  • Publication number: 20090227977
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pacifier and nipple member for delivery of active ingredients into the oral cavity of an infant or patient. The pacifier includes a porous nipple member and a base member adapted to remain outside the oral cavity of the infant. The porous nipple member includes at least one reservoir or chamber therein for receiving a thin-film containing an active ingredient. The base member may be removably attached to the neck of the nipple member, or the nipple and base members may form a single unit. Reusable and disposable forms are disclosed.
