Relative to other drug delivery systems, oral thin films (OTFs) are a newer concept in medicine. Which drugs can and cannot be formulated for this method of delivery remains to be seen and largely depends on invention. The Oral delivery of a drug via thin film has the potential to improve the onset of action, lower the dosing, and enhance the efficacy and safety profile of the medicine. All tablets, soft gels liquid formulations primarily enter the blood stream via the gastrointestinal tract, which subject the drug to degradation from stomach acid, bile, digestive enzymes and other first-pass effects. As a result, such formulations often require higher doses and generally have a delayed onset of action. Buccal and sublingual thin-film drug delivery can avoid these issues and yield quicker onset of action at lower doses, thus reducing dose dependent side effects. Thin film is more durable and dissolves more quickly than other conventional dosage form, enabling improved dosing accuracy relative to liquid formulations. Each strip is manufactured to contain a precise amount of the drug.
