Abstract:
The invention relates to developing a novel water and capsule formulation using fenofibrate which is difficult to dissolve and control its release rate in vitro. For example, the invention relates to the creation of capsules and wafers comprising: fenofibrate, a surfactant, a carrier wax, a film former, a plasticizer, and optionally a super disintegrant or other ingredients. The invention further relates to the process of forming such capsules and wafers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a transmucosal administration system to administer quinones, benzoquinones, and especially 1,4-benzoquinones, via the oromucosal route.
Abstract:
An edible oral film strip dosage form containing an unpalatable basic active pharmaceutical ingredient and an ion exchange resin as a primary taste masking agent, along with an optional acidic agent and further optionally containing one or more secondary taste masking agents is provided. The edible oral film strip dosage matrix is formed from at least one water soluble or miscible polymer(s). The optional secondary taste masking ingredients include one or more of flavoring agent(s), sweetener(s), cooling sensation agent(s), and taste receptor blocker(s). Methods for preparing the inventive edible oral film strip dosage forms are disclosed, as well as their method of administration.

Abstract:
A childproof packaging for individual doses, in particular for preparations for administration in film form, wherein the packaging constitutes a bag produced by sealing, which has at least one each side a covering layer which is provided at least on one side with local weak points which do not touch the edge of the packaging, wherein the local weak points form a cohesive pattern which runs around the individual dos in an arc or a curve and overlaps an angular region of at least 90° when considered from the main area of the individual zone.
Abstract:
A process for treating a patient by medicinal therapy by a film-shaped therapeutic system. The process comprises the steps of applying a film-shaped therapeutic system comprising at least three layers connected with each other onto the oral mucosa of a patient in need of medicinal therapy for a period of up to 24 hours and releasing the active substance with an initial burst dose and a subsequent maintenance dose. The film-shaped therapeutic system comprises at least three layers connected with each other for transmucosal administration of active substances. The system has a layer which is mucoadhesive in an aqueous environment and a backing layer which is at least two-layered. At least one of these layers contains an active substance. The mucoadhesive layer is capable of swelling in an aqueous media, but is insoluble or only poorly soluble in an aqueous media.
Abstract:
A film-shaped therapeutic system comprising at least two layers connected with each other, for transmucosal administration of active substances. The system has a layer which is mucoadhesive in an aqueous environment and a mono-layered or multi-layered backing layer. At least one of these layers contains an active substance. The mucoadhesive layer is capable of swelling in an aqueous media, but is insoluble or only poorly soluble in an aqueous media. A process for treating a patient by medicinal therapy or prophylaxis by the film-shaped therapeutic system is also provided.
Abstract:
An edible orally disintegrating tablet dosage form containing an unpalatable acidic active pharmaceutical ingredient, particularly ketoprofen, and an ion exchange resin as a primary taste masking agent, along with an optional alkaline agent and further optionally containing one or more secondary taste masking agents is provided. The edible orally disintegrating tablet dosage matrix is formed from at least one water soluble or miscible polymer(s). The optional secondary taste masking ingredients include one or more of flavoring agent(s), sweetener(s), cooling sensation agent(s), and taste receptor blocker(s). The inventive dosages minimize or completely mask the bitterness, burning sensation and throat irritation associated with many acidic active pharmaceutical ingredients. Methods for preparing the inventive edible oral film strip dosage forms are disclosed, as well as their method of administration.
