ABSTRACT

The term "fast dissolving oral drug delivery system" refers to a system that dissolves or disintegrates in a matter of seconds or minutes when held in the mouth without water and swallowed. Oral fast dissolving films have emerged as a viable drug delivery technique in recent years, owing to a number of advantages for pediatrics and geriatric patients who have difficulty in swallowing. These little, thin oral film strips are meant to make medicine administration easier when the film is placed on or under the tongue. These films allow the medicine to be delivered directly into the bloodstream via buccal or sublingual routes. Oral films have been shown to improve the onset of action, reduce dosage, and increase bioavailability. This review article discusses the history, benefits, and limitations of oral rapid dissolving films, as well as formulation considerations, manufacturing processes, evaluation parameters, packaging, and marketed products. Due to its unique properties, novel attributes, competitive standing, and cost adequacy, it can be inferred that it is one of the fastest-growing dosage forms with a lot of potential, particularly for commercial applications.
