  • Film compositions for delivery of actives
    Patent number: 8663687
    Abstract: The invention relates to the film products and methods of their preparation that demonstrate a non-self-aggregating uniform heterogeneity. 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 contain at least one active agent, which may be administered to a user topically, transmucosally, vaginally, ocularly, aurally, nasally, transdermally or orally.

  • Uniform films for rapid dissolve dosage form incorporating taste-masking compositions
    Patent number: 8652378
    Abstract: The present invention relates to rapid dissolve thin film drug delivery compositions for the oral administration of active components. The active components are provided as taste-masked or controlled-release coated particles uniformly distributed throughout the film composition. The compositions may be formed by wet casting methods, where the film is cast and controllably dried, or alternatively by an extrusion method.

  • IN-LINE DEAERATION PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SELF-SUPPORTING FILM PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20110274795
    Abstract: The present invention provides processes and systems for preparing self-supporting film-forming compositions. The process generally includes the steps of: (a) providing a self-supporting film-forming matrix including an edible polymer component and a fluid carrier selected from the group consisting of water organic solvents and combinations thereof: (b) degassing the matrix via the steps of: (i) directing a flow of the matrix having a first density through at least one volume reduction device: and (ii) increasing the density of the matrix to form a second density. The present invention further includes the addition of actives to the matrix so as to provide an active-containing degassed film forming matrix.
