An Detailed Overview on Mouth Dissolving Film

Authors

Abstract

The present review aims to enlighten about a potential dosage form that is mouth dissolving films. Mouth dissolving film is a rapidly dissolving dosage form that dissolves in the mouth within a few seconds without the intake of water and is mainly used for pediatric and geriatric patients due to its flexibility and patient compliance. It is a potential dosage form for drugs having high metabolism and low bioavailability. Solvent casting, hot melt extrusion, solid dispersion, semisolid casting, rolling, and other processes can all be used to create mouth dissolving film, but solvent casting is the most popular due to its consistency and superior physical properties. Mouth dissolving film is evaluated for the following parameters like physical parameters and chemical parameters. The review sums up information on drug delivery by mouth dissolving films as a promising dosage form for delivering drugs to children and elderly patients, as well as information on its formulation considerations, preparation process, and evaluation criteria.
