Abstract: The present invention concerns an orodispersible self-supporting film free from hydrocolloids comprising: a) a film-forming substance consisting of a maltodextrin in an amount comprised between 40 and 80% by weight; b) a plasticizer in an amount comprised between 15 and 55% by weight; e) a surfactant System in an amount comprised between 0.5 and 6% by weight; d) an active ingredient for food or therapeutic use in an amount between 0.05 and 30% by weight, characterised in that it contains a homopolymer or a copolymer of vinyl acetate in a quantity comprised between 2 and 10% by weight where the percentages are calculated on the total weight of said film.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an orodispersible self-supporting film free from hydrocolloids comprising: a) a film-forming substance consisting of a maltodextrin in an amount comprised between 40 and 80% by weight; b) one or more plasticizer in a total amount comprised between 15 and 55% by weight; c) a surfactant System in an amount comprised between 0.5 and 6% by weight; d) an active ingredient for food or therapeutic use in an amount between 0.05 and 30% by weight, said orodispersible self-supporting film free from hydrocolloids further containing a homopolymer or a copolymer of vinyl acetate in a quantity comprised between 1 and 20% by weight where the percentages are calculated on the total weight of said film.

Abstract: Rapidly dissolving self-supporting films for food or pharmaceutical use comprising: a) a filmogenic substance consisting of a maltodextrin; b) a plasticizer; c) an active principle for food or pharmaceutical use, characterized in that said films are free of hydrocolloids.

Abstract: A water based polymeric dispersion for PSA adhesive preparation for transdermal system comprising: a) an aqueous dispersion of a polymer of an acrylate and/or a methacrylate ester, b) a plasticizer c) a shrinkage reducing agent able to reduce the shrinkage of the water PSA dispersion when spread onto a surface to width values lower than 20 mm after 3 minutes rest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mouthwash including microspheres that incorporate an active ingredient, wherein the microspheres are obtained directly in situ in the aqueous phase of the mouthwash by cross-linking. These microspheres do not tend to aggregate and the mouthwash appears in the form of a homogenous and stable suspension even after prolonged storage.
