Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2355779A1] A method for producing a chewing gum with an improved release of active agen t, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by adding an active agen t to a chewing gum coating. The active agent is added to the coating in a coating solution or premixed with a flavor or solvent. The coating solution may contain sweetener or other transdermal enhancing agents to obtain increased transmucosal absorption. An active agent may also be used in the g um core.
