The present invention relates to novel coating compositions for application to solid dosage forms such as tablets or caplets, solid dosage forms coated with the composition, and methods of preparing said coating compositions.

Film coating for tablets and caplets

A method is disclosed for the sealing of hard shell capsules having coaxial body parts which overlap when telescopically joined. Also described is an apparatus to seal the capsules. The method comprises the steps of holding the capsule in a precise and upright position and injecting a known quantity of sealing fluid in the overlap of the body parts. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises a sealing clamp () to hold the capsule in an upright position and means () to inject the sealing fluid in the overlap of the body parts.

Apparatus for sealing a pharmaceutically acceptable hard shell capsule

A method is disclosed for the sealing of hard shell capsules having coaxial body parts which overlap when telescopically joined. Also described is an apparatus to seal the capsules. The method comprises the steps of holding the capsule in a precise and upright position and injecting a quantity of sealing fluid in the overlap of the body parts. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises a sealing clamp to hold the capsule in an upright position and means to inject the sealing fluid in the overlap of the body parts.

Method of sealing a hard shell capsule

The invention concerns compositions based on pullulan and a setting system for the use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard capsules. The composition preferably further contains a surfactant. By using aqueous solution of the inventive compositions, the hard pullulan capsules are produced by a conventional dipping moulding process under the same process condition range than conventional gelatine capsules.

Pullulan film compositions

The invention is concerned with film-forming compositions containing hydrolysates of the exopolysaccharide YAS34 for the use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard capsules.

Composition for soluble films with a new hydrolyzed polysaccharide

The present invention relates to pharmaceutically acceptable and stable compositions, which are preferably clear transparent, for liquid filling hard shell capsules, hard shell capsules containing these compositions, and a process for preparing these hard shell capsules and whereby the shells of said hard capsules are preferably clear transparent.

Ibuprofen containing hard shell capsules

The invention provides a drug delivery system for delivering a drug to either the small intestine (enteric) or the colon comprising a HPMC capsule containing the drug and wherein the HPMC capsule is provided with a suitable coating such that the drug is released from the capsule either in the small intestine or the colon.

Enteric and colonic delivery using HPMC capsules

The invention concerns polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) compositions for the use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard capsules. Compared with hard gelatine capsules (HGC) capsule films consisting of PVA have extremely low water vapour permeability and much lower water content.

Polyvinyl alcohol compositions

The invention concerns, film-forming compositions containing pectin, at least one additional film-forming polymer and a setting system for use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard capsules, as well as aqueous solutions of the composition for the manufacturing of said products.

Pectin film compositions

The invention concerns Gelatin compositions for the use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard gelatin capsules wherein the gelatin used is of non-bovine and non-pig origin and preferably derived from fish, poultry or plant sources. Especially preferred are film compositions for hard gelatine capsules prepared from fish gelatin.

Fish gelatin compositions containing a hydrocolloid setting system

The invention concerns compositions from modified starches, such as starch ethers or oxidized starch, more particularly hydroxpropylated starch (HPS) or hydroxylethylated starch (HES) for the use in pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, cosmetic or other products like films for wrapping food, aspics or jellies, preferably for predosed formulations like soft or hard capsules. The hard capsules obtained by the present invention with a conventional dipping molding process are similar to hard gelatine capsules (HGC).

Modified starch film compositions

The present invention relates to non-animal polymer compositions suitable for film forming, particularly hard and soft capsules, comprising water soluble cellulose ethers, hydrocolloides and sequestering agents.
