MonoSol wins US patent for thin film manufacturing process

The patent relates to MonoSol Rx’s Dual Integrated Mixing System. This patented mixing process is designed to provide a continuous batch coating of a drug contained in the film to ensure product uniformity while delivering consistent organoleptic performance throughout the film manufacturing process.

The patent also encompasses MonoSol Rx’s controlled film drying process. This controlled drying process is critical to maintaining content uniformity of a drug within the film thereby ensuring accurate and predictable dosing for patients.

Mark Schobel, president and CEO of MonoSol Rx, said: “Our proprietary mixing and drying processes enable us to maintain precise content uniformity of the drug, incorporate taste-masked drug encapsulations, and allow the manufacture of sensitive drug targets that may otherwise not be possible.”
