Abstract

See full text

The invention permits the application of an identifying mark onto a fast-dissolving dosage form without the need for application of pressure or printing directly onto the dosage unit. The invention comprises preparing of a fast-dissolving dosage unit that is embossed with an identifying mark such as a manufacturer's logo, medicinal component strength, or other information relating to the unit. The desired identifying mark is first embossed onto the base of the container such as a blister pocket. Liquid suspension is then filled into the container and solidified, e.g., freeze-dried, therein. The resulting dosage unit in the container is thereby embossed with a substantial copy of the identifying mark that was embossed on the base of the container. The embossed identifying mark on the base of the container remains thereon as well thereby affording the ability to learn the identifying mark on the enclosed unit without opening the packet.
