Abstract:
1. A medicament carrier composition for use in forming a single layer film having a thickness from 10 to 50 microns, said composition comprising: a) a medicament; b) a polymer component comprising a polyvinylpyrrolidone homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 700,000 g/mol; c) ethanol and/or water; d) a plasticizer that is polyethylene glycol; and e) an auxiliary polymer chosen from a vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyethylene glycol grafted polyvinylalcohol, and combinations thereof; wherein said medicament carrier composition has a viscosity of from 500 to 5,000 cps at 25° C. and wherein said polymer component is present in an amount of from 10 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said medicament carrier composition; and wherein said film has a dissolution time of less than or equal to 300 seconds.
