Abstract
Finding and perfecting novel compounds is a lengthy and resource-intensive process. This is why the healthcare sector is investing so much in the advancement of new methods of administering current medications. The rapid dissolving oral film is a kind of delivery technology that has seen increasing use in both young children and elderly people. Fast dissolving films have the potential for industrial use because of their advantages over fast disintegrating tablets. However, the lack of friability and the risk of choking are more likely to occur in paediatric and elderly patients, who may benefit from quick dissolving tablets. The oral film dosage form not only improves upon the strengths of existing quick disintegrating systems, but also responds to the needs of the market that have previously gone unfulfilled. The potential for further research of orally rapid- dissolving films, as well as their design and development, is emphasised in the current review.
