Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080292683 | Film shreds and delivery system incorporating same - Compositions are provided that include water soluble or water dispersible film shreds, a carrier and an active, such as, but not limited to a drug, flavoring agent or coloring agent. Also provided are methods of use of the film shreds, such as in improving the dissolution, stability, aesthetics, or taste of a composition or its components, and in reducing a disease risk associated with an active. | 11-27-2008 |
20100021526 | PH MODULATED FILMS FOR DELIVERY OF ACTIVES - 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. | 01-28-2010 |
20100040727 | Method for Improving Uniformity of Content in Edible Film Manufacturing - 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. | 02-18-2010 |
20100285130 | COATING OF COMPLEXED ACTIVES IN FILM FORMULATIONS - The present invention relates to products and methods of making products having a dual taste masked active component. In particular, the present invention relates to film dosage forms including at least one dual taste masked active, where the dual taste masked active includes a coated complexed active composition. | 11-11-2010 |
20100297232 | ONDANSETRON FILM COMPOSITIONS - The present invention relates to products and methods of making products having a taste masked active component. In particular, the present invention relates to taste-masked film dosage forms including at least one active component and a slow dissolving basic composition. | 11-25-2010 |
20110033542 | SUBLINGUAL AND BUCCAL FILM COMPOSITIONS - The present invention relates to products and methods for treatment of various symptoms in a patient, including treatment of pain suffered by a patient. The invention more particularly relates to self-supporting dosage forms which provide an active agent while providing sufficient buccal adhesion of the dosage form. Further, the present invention provides a dosage form which is useful in reducing the likelihood of diversion abuse of the active agent. | 02-10-2011 |
20110142942 | USE OF pH SENSITIVE COMPOUNDS IN TASTE MASKING OF DRUG SUBSTANCES WITHIN ORAL THIN FILM STRIPS - The present invention relates to an edible film dosage form that includes a film-forming polymer and a coated active composition capable of taste-masking an active contained therein. An edible film that includes an edible, water-soluble film forming polymer and an active with at least two coating layers is also disclosed. | 06-16-2011 |
20150056268 | UNIFORM FILMS FOR RAPID-DISSOLVE DOSAGE FORM INCORPORATING ANTI-TACKING COMPOSITIONS - The present invention relates to water-soluble films incorporating anti-tacking agents and methods of their preparation. Anti-tacking agents may improve the flow characteristics of the compositions and thereby reduce the problem of film adhering to a user's mouth or to other units of film. In particular, the present invention relates to edible water-soluble delivery systems in the form of a film composition including a water-soluble polymer, an active component selected from cosmetic agents, pharmaceutical agents, vitamins, bioactive agents and combinations thereof and at least one anti-tacking agent. | 02-26-2015 |
