Abstract
Recently, we have introduced fibrous dosage forms that enable predictable microstructures with a greater range of pharmaceutically relevant properties. Presented herein, accordingly, are a method and an apparatus for the manufacture of such fibrous dosage forms. The method includes extruding a plasticized matrix through an exit port of an extrusion channel to form at least one plasticized fiber, and structuring said at least one plasticized fiber to a three dimensional structural network of fibers. The apparatus includes an internally hollow housing defining an extrusion channel, a conveying element for extruding a plasticized matrix in the extrusion channel through an exit port to form at least one plasticized fiber, and a unit for structuring said at least one plasticized fiber to a three dimensional structural network of fibers.
