Definitions

  • This invention relates to a solid form comprising a film enrobing a compacted fill material, which comprises a plurality of components disposed in discrete zones in the solid form and a method of producing the solid form.
  • Active ingredients for example pharmaceutical, agrochemical and detergent active ingredients may be delivered through a wide range of solid forms including tablets and capsules.
  • Conventional tablets generally are highly compacted and have relatively high densities.
  • the active ingredient is generally compacted with other components in a blend to provide the requisite structural integrity for the tablet.
  • Delivery of the active ingredient in use may however be unsatisfactory due to the compaction level and it is known to add excipients to the formulation to aid disintegration or dissolution of the tablet to improve delivery, aid compaction, increase strength and increase robustness of the solid form. This may however impose constraints on the flexibility of the formulator in developing tablets containing the active ingredient.
  • Capsules generally include the active ingredient in a relatively non-compacted form.
  • the lack of compaction together with the void space inherent within capsules mean that for a given large dose of active, the volume of the final solid form is greater than for more compacted solid forms.
  • Increasing the size of the capsule to accommodate the required dose is undesirable for the user.
  • capsules require a relatively high level of disintegrant to provide adequate disintegration of the solid form.
  • Capsule shells may also be sensitive to moisture and present problems as regards storage and product shelf-life.
  • WO 03/096963 discloses solid forms and processes utilizing films to enrobe a fill material to a degree of compaction less than that generally used to make a tablet. It is specifically disclosed therein that because of the nature of the capsule produced that certain ancillary ingredients necessary in conventional tablet production may be omitted.
  • Products comprising a plurality of components which are located in separate zones in the product formulation are known, for example, GB-A-1099999 discloses a two- layered multi-vitamin tablet having a vitamin in each layer. Separating components in a formulation may be desirable for a number of reasons, for example to provide sequential or controlled-release of the components and to avoid mutual incompatibility of the components.

  • the solid form comprises a first layer of a swellable water-soluble polymer, a second layer comprising and active agent and a band of an insoluble material circumscribing and binding together the first and second layer.
  • the first layer is adapted to swell in the stomach and facilitate retention therein and the active is released over a prolonged period of time.
