MOUTH DISSOLVING FILM OF VITAMINS AND CALCIUM CARBONATE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to mouth dissolving film of vitamins and calcium carbonate. The present invention is particularly related to a mouth dissolving film of vitamins and high dose of calcium carbonate. The present invention is also related to mouth dissolving film of vitamins and calcium carbonate comprising active ingredients with at least two polymers, plasticizer, anti-oxidant and one or more inactive excipients and process for preparing the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Humans needs a lot of essential vitamins and minerals for growth, development and good health. Calcium is one of the important mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. This essential mineral supports the bones, heart, muscles, and nervous system. Calcium is formulated into various supplements. These all contain different amounts of pure or elemental calcium. Among the various forms of calcium added to supplements, calcium carbonate is the most common. It contains 40% elemental calcium, the highest of any form. Calcium carbonate is used to prevent or to treat a calcium deficiency.

Cholecalciferol is vitamin D3. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Cholecalciferol is used as a dietary supplement in people who do not get enough vitamin D in their diets to maintain adequate health. Vitamin D3 serves many purposes in the body, from supporting bone density to maintaining healthy immune responses.

Vitamin K is a group of vitamins found in some green vegetables. Vitamins K1 (phytonadione) and K2 (menaquinone) are commonly available as supplements.
Vitamin K activates proteins that play a role in blood clotting, calcium metabolism, and heart health. One of its most important functions is to regulate calcium deposition. In simple words, it promotes the calcification of bones and prevents the calcification of blood vessels and kidneys by preventing calcium from being deposited in your arteries, vessels and kidneys. Vitamin K2 may lower the risk of cardiovascular damage and improve overall heart health. It also promotes healthy bone mineral density by carboxylating osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones.

There are different oral supplements of vitamins and calcium are present in the market. Oral route of drug administration is a most preferred route due to its ease of administration, non-invasiveness, adaptability, patient compliance and acceptability. There are different types of conventional dosage forms like, tablet, capsule, powder, granules, etc. However, these conventional dosage forms has various disadvantages like difficulty in swallowing, unpleasant taste, etc. In recent years, drug delivery technologies have grown extensively that go beyond conventional oral dosage forms. Hence, there is need to develop alternate dosage form for these supplements with better patient compliance.

Mouth Dissolvable films (MDFs) evolved over the past few years and became a novel and widely accepted form by consumers. Mouth disintegrating films (MDFs) are thin strips made up of hydrophilic polymers hence when placed on tongue, immediately hydrates by soaking saliva following disintegration and/or dissolution releasing active pharmaceutical agent from the dosage form. It gives quick absorption and instant bioavailability of drugs due to high blood flow and permeability of oral mucosa and achieves rapid dissolution upon contact with saliva. MDFs are fast, accurate, safe and efficacious dosage forms which does not need water or measuring devices.

There are few challenges in development of MDF’s like solubility and high drug loading. Solubility plays an important role in two stages i.e. solubility of drug in solvent during formulation and solubility or dissolution of drug in saliva after putting the film in oral cavity. High drug loading in oral films is challenging task due to its thin form. It is difficult to develop mouth dissolving film with high dose of active ingredient. High dose of drug can be incorporated in oral film by increase in the area of film or increasing thickness of the film. Thinner conventional films offer fast disintegration time as the loading of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in thin films is limited. However, the disintegration time will be increased accordingly with increasing film thickness, leading to delayed onset drug action. Hence, there is a need to provide a mouth dissolving thin film capable to load high content of active ingredients for fast absorption, good bioavailability and better patient compliance.

There are challenges to load more than 50 mg of calcium carbonate in film which is having very limited solubility in the water. Such film formulation is very difficult in terms of process and patient acceptance.

The inventors of the present invention have surprisingly found the mouth dissolving film containing vitamins and high load of calcium carbonate. The inventors of the present invention has loaded more than 200 mg of calcium carbonate in the film and also the characteristic taste of calcium is masked with appropriate flavour. The objectives of the present invention are as described herein.

The other objective of the invention is to provide to mouth dissolving film of vitamins and calcium carbonate which does not need water for oral administration, yet dissolve / disperse/ disintegrate in the oral cavity.
