A thermoplastic film that is configured to disperse in contact with a body fluid of a live human or other animal. The film includes a thermoplastic film former and a fatty alcohol. The film is produced by extruding or otherwise coating a coatable composition. For some applications, the film is edible, and disperses upon contacting the film to the eater's tongue. The edible film can include a breath freshening agent, a medicament or other substance. The film can also be used topically or in a mucous membrane to deliver a medicament. |
