ABSTRACT
Recently, fast dissolving oral films have started gaining fame and
acceptance as new drug delivery systems, which aim to enhance
safety and efficacy of a drug molecule to achieve better patient
compliance. It is a robust form a drug delivery system where the film
is placed on the top or the floor of the tongue. When put on the
tongue, this film dissolves instantaneously, releasing the drug which
dissolves in the saliva. Buccal drug delivery has lately become an
important route of drug administration. But many of the patients
(paediatrics and geriatrics) are unwilling to take solid preparations
due to fear of choking. This has made the pharmaceutical industry
look for alternatives routes of drug delivery like film drug delivery.
Fast dissolving oral drug delivery system have started gaining
popularity and acceptance as new drug delivery system, because they
are easy to administer, better patient compliance, rapid drug
absorption, and sudden onset of drug action with instant
bioavailability is possible. This review reflects information regarding
formulation ingredient, technologies and evaluation test employed in
the preparation of fast dissolving oral films.
