ABSTRACT

Oral fast-dissolving film is the best idea to increase consumer acceptance by rapid dissolution and self-administration without the need for water and chewing. The film is an ideal oral fast-dissolving drug delivery system. There are many techniques used to prepare oral films in the buccal cavity. A film is prepared by use of hydrophilic polymers that rapidly dissolve on the tongue or buccal cavity. Different types of buccal delivery products are proposed for some diseases like trigeminal neuralgia, diabetes, Meniere's disease, addiction etc. This novel approach of preparing the dispersible film (odf) provide benefits to pediatric, geriatric and bedridden patients. Evaluation of the prepared pdf's done by considering parameters such as film thickness folding endurance disintegration time, surface ph, weight variation, in vitro dissolution test content uniformity and FTIR. This overview provides information about advantages, disadvantages, methods polymers used, different technologies, evaluation parameters, and lastly, reference…
