Oral routes are most commonly preferred route for delivering drug. Most common oral dosage forms are tablet and capsules. But many patients such as geriatric, pediatric and dysphasic patients find difficult to swallow conventional tablet and capsule. To overcome various problems related to swallowing, Fast Dissolving Tablets were designed in early 19th century and hence further advancement has led to development of Fast Dissolving Oral Films. These are solid dosage forms, which disintegrate or dissolve within 1 min when placed in the mouth without drinking water or mastication. These thin sized film stripes are designed in such a manner for ease administration of drug when it’s placed on or under the tongue. There by the film enables the drug to deliver directly in to the blood stream either buccally or sublingually. Likewise, to improve the onset of action, lower the dosing and enhance the efficacy.
