Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for forming films. In particular, the present invention relates to the formation of films on a substrate via the use of individual pumps to deposit individual wet film products onto a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a safe and effective package for housing a dosage, which is easily opened by a user yet provides a secure and contaminant-free environment for the dosage housed within. The package may include a guided tear condition extending along at least one edge of the package, allowing a user to safely and effectively open the package without risk of compromising the dosage housed therein. In some embodiments, the dosage is a substantially flat dosage, such as a film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for forming films. In particular, the present invention relates to the formation of films on a substrate via the use of individual pumps to deposit individual wet film products onto a substrate. A method of forming film products includes: providing a reservoir housing a film forming matrix, pumps in association with the reservoir, and orifices; feeding the wet film forming matrix from the reservoir to the pumps; dispensing the film forming matrix from each of the pumps through an orifice; and depositing wet film products onto a substrate. An apparatus for forming film strips includes: (a) a reservoir for housing a film forming matrix; (b) pumps associated with the reservoir; (c) a plurality of orifices, with each orifice being associated with a pump; (d) a substrate; and (e) a means for moving the substrate through the apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming a pharmaceutical product, such as a dissolvable film dosage form, onto a surface. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method of forming a pharmaceutical product directly onto the surface of a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rapidly dissolving edible film dosage form incorporating a physical-chemical identifier and/or indicia. The physical-chemical identifier and/or indicia may correspond to an active ingredient that may be evenly distributed throughout the film. The physical-chemical identifier and/or indicia may be associated with at least one section of the film composition and/or associated with a sealed pouch or package containing the film composition and provide information to the consumer, practitioner, producer or regulator that is relevant to the edible film dosage form.

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.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of analyzing and establishing a proper dosage size in ingestible films for providing a more precise dosage delivery of an active ingredient.
