This upcoming form of thin-film drug delivery is a more advanced alternative to the traditional forms of drug administration to the patients. The technique of thin-film drug delivery makes use of a thin film that dissolves quickly and easily, or an oral drug strip, which gets wet by the saliva in the mouth and swiftly hydrates and adheres to the site of application, a system that is in place to administer drugs via absorption directly in the mouth (buccally or sublingually) and/or through the small intestines (enterically).

A thin film is created using hydrophilic polymers, which rapidly dissolves on the tongue or in the buccal cavity, resulting in delivering the drug to the systemic circulation in the body via dissolution when contact is made with the liquid.

Referred to as oral thin films (OTFs), they have proven very effective for those patients who have trouble swallowing, because drugs can be delivered without the traditional techniques that require the patient to chew or swallow. Such patients include children, those experiencing nausea, and the growing geriatric community, which together make up about 37 percent of the total worldly population. This system of drug delivery is an attractive option for patients belonging to varied age demographics, because they don’t need to chew, swallow or drink water in order to ingest the drug.

The thin film covers a relatively large surface area, which allows for faster dissolution and disintegration. The thin strips can also be given a more likeable flavor and a more attractive color, for easy administration in the case of children. Because the films can be manipulated for precision dosing, this is useful for several cases, especially in the case of children who often need smaller doses, adults who need partial doses, and in the development of drugs where the production cannot make allowance for larger volume of doses.

In addition to the above mentioned advantages of this system, some others include, its cost effective nature, the efforts of scientists towards improving the therapeutic outputs of these drugs, the rapid advancements in related technology, funding from a variety of different organizations and governments, have all proven to act in favor of the thin film drugs market.
