Oral fast dissolving films are an advanced technique that has a quick onset of action and improves patient compliance. Many patients, particularly pediatric and geriatric patients, have difficulties swallowing tablets and hard gelatin capsules and do not take their medications as prescribed. Approximately 35% of the general population suffers from swallowing difficulties or dysphasia. It enhances the efficacy of APIs and promotes medication use. These formulations are effective for colds, allergic rhinitis, asthma attacks, and CNS problems that require rapid onset of action for faster relief. The sublingual path of drug administration is very effective because the drug is absorbed through the sublingual blood vessels without passing through the hepatic first pass metabolism, resulting in improved bioavailability. The current article provides a summary of the formulation aspects, manufacturing methods such as solvent casting, assessment parameters, and sublingual uses of fast dissolving films.
