Abstract

Drug delivery systems using thin films are being researched by the pharmaceutical industry. They're a diverse platform that can provide immediate, local, or systemic actions. Furthermore, these systems can be used independently, which is ideal for patients with dysphagia, elderly, pediatric, or bed-ridden patients, as well as those who may have difficulty consuming water. These drug delivery systems can be given by oral, buccal, sublingual, ocular and trans-dermal routes. This study explores mouth thin films in all of their characteristics from the current perspective, providing insight into the world's growing market share as a result of expanding research fields and technological breakthroughs. Simultaneously, It provides a summary of the key factors involved in formulation development that have an impact on thin films, such as thin film design, morphological and physiological limitations, production process selection, characterization techniques, and polymer and drug physicochemical properties. It also gives an overview of the most recent thin-film products made by major pharmaceutical firms.
