  • Abstract:
  • Oral drug delivery through fast dissolving strips is gaining popularity due to the ease of administration and high patient compliance. These strips offer a convenient and safe alternative for patients who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets and capsules. As the drug is directly absorbed into systemic circulation, degradation in gastrointestinal tract and first pass effect can be avoided. Different types of fast dissolve technologies and formulations have been developed to cater to various patient needs and preferences. They come in three subtypes - flash release, mucoadhesive melt-away wafer, and mucoadhesive sustained release wafers. These films have a thin area containing drug, with formulation considerations like plasticizers impacting their mechanical properties.
