A Review on Mouth Dissolving Film

Abstract

As an alternative to fast-dissolving tablets, fast-dissolving films have garnered attention recently. The films may be consumed without the need for extra liquid since they are made to disintegrate in a matter of seconds when they come into touch with a wet surface, like the tongue. This simplicity of use boosts patient compliance and offers a marketing benefit. Since the medication enters the bloodstream immediately, first pass effects and gastrointestinal tract degradation are prevented. Because of these features, this formulation is most well-liked and accepted by older and pediatric patients as well as those who are afraid of choking. In the US market, over-the-counter films are marketed for pain relief and motion sickness. Transdermal medication delivery technology is being used by several businesses to create thin film forms. Recent developments in the formulation of fast-dissolving buccal films and associated assessment criteria are collected in this study.
