Fast Dissolving Oral Thin Films: A Review
Abstract: Fast-dissolving oral thin films (FDOFs) represent a significant advancement in drug delivery technology, offering advantages over traditional solid dosage forms, especially for patients with swallowing difficulties. FDOFs dissolve rapidly in the mouth, releasing the active ingredient without the need for water or chewing. They have picked up ubiquity due to their comfort, taste veiling capabilities, and progressed persistent compliance. Ideal drugs for FDOFs should possess characteristics such as solubility, stability, …
