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: Polymeric matrices for the controlled release of medicaments for the topical transdermal use comprising copolymers of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid or esters thereof having a Tg lower than 0° C., whose free carboxy groups are salified with compatible organic or inorganic bases. The matrices of the invention allow to prepare therapeutical systems for the controlled-release of active principles through the transdermal route, thus solving stability, solubility and/or bioavailability problems of the active ingredient within the matrix.

Abstract: A multilayer structure for the packaging of biomedical films, in particular oral films, is described, said multilayer structure comprising cold-adhesive laminates and at least partly non-adhesive supporting layers which are organized in a specific stratified structure. The film packaged therein is effectively isolated from the external environment and protected from accidental mechanical stresses; the packaging process is low-cost and particularly attentive to the delicate structural characteristics of biomedical films.

Abstract: Polymeric matrices for the controlled release of medicaments for the topical transdermal use comprising copolymers of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid or esters thereof having a Tg lower than 0.degree. C., whose free carboxy groups are salified with compatible organic or inorganic bases. The matrices of the invention allow to prepare therapeutical systems for the controlled-release of active principles through the transdermal route, thus solving stability, solubility and/or bioavailability problems of the active ingredient within the matrix.
