Oral thin films are a very thin polymer films, consisting of a single or multi-layer polymer matrix, which are usually applied in the mouth to function. Oral thin films are usually water-based soluble polymers designed for rapid and systematic delivery of drugs, with the active substance transported directly into the bloodstream. This avoids exposing the drug to the harsh conditions of the stomach and allows this drug delivery system to deliver a greater percentage of the active compound per dose. Oral thin films technology enables rapid release of the active substance in the form of a single or multi-layer system. Depending on the drug candidate and the targeted indication, oral thin films can be formulated as a transmucosal, in which the active substance enters the body circulation directly through the buccal mucosa, avoiding a once-through effect in the liver. Why Choose Oral Thin Films? Traditional oral solid dosage forms, such as capsules or tablets, must be swallowed, preferably with water or any other liquid. Oral thin films offer an alternative, non-obstructive dosage form with the benefits of tablets or capsules but with the convenience of administration leading to treatment compliance. Swallowing can be a barrier to medication administration in certain categories of patients (e.g., children, elderly, mentally challenged, nausea, ambulatory and bedridden patients). This unique delivery platform offers the possibility to repurpose and reformulate generic drugs to create new or expand existing brands with unique new dosage forms with high competitive technological barriers!
