Overview on fast dissolving films

Abstract

The objective of our review is to compile the recent advancements and literatures regarding the fast dissolving film i.e. Oral dissolving film Technology (ODFTS) that can be administrated in the buccal cavity for a shorter period of time in Secs and gives better therapeutic action. The methodologies used in the development of ODFTS for pediatric and geriatric patient's population, who are difficulty in swallowing larger dosage forms. This technology has been used for local action, rapid release products. ODFT offers an alternate platform for molecules that undergoes first pass metabolism. Our review article suggests that (ODFT) can be the possible way to improve patient compliance and robustness. Various pharma companies adopted advance technologies to make ODFT commercialized in large scale despite of several limitations.
