In recent years, there has been a significant increase in efforts to guarantee effectiveness, safety, and patient acceptance due to the trend towards new drug delivery technologies. The creation of novel drug delivery methods for currently available medications is becoming more popular as the research and development of new chemical agents is a difficult, expensive, and laborious process. Among them, orally disintegrating films are a popular medication delivery technique in paediatrics and geriatrics. The vital benefit of the dosage form is its rapid disintegration. ODFs are an innovative dosage form that breaks down and dissolves within the oral cavity. Intraoral absorption enables quick action and helps avoid first-pass effects, which lowers the unit dosage needed to deliver the anticipated therapeutic effect. These rapid-dissolving films are better than fast-disintegrating tablets since the latter have choking and friability issues. This drug delivery technology offers several benefits over traditional fast-disintegrating tablets, including the ability to be used for dysphasic and schizophrenic patients and the capacity to be taken without water due to their quick disintegration and rapid release of medicine in the mouth. This present review provides a brief summary of the benefits, composition, formulation methods, and evaluation parameters employed for oral disintegrating films.
