ABSTRACT:
This comprehensive review delves into the recent advancements and diverse applications of oral thin film (OTF) technology in the field of pharmaceuticals. The aim is to provide a thorough exploration of the evolution of OTFs, their unique characteristics, and their expanding role in drug delivery systems. A systematic analysis of the literature was conducted to gather information on the formulation techniques, properties, and challenges associated with OTFs. Additionally, recent developments, innovations, and future trends in OTF technology were examined to understand the dynamic landscape of this drug delivery system. The review highlights the key properties of OTFs, including rapid disintegration, enhanced bioavailability, and patient-centric advantages. Various manufacturing techniques, such as solvent casting, hot melt extrusion, and 3D printing, were explored for their impact on OTF formulation. Challenges, including stability issues and taste masking complexities, were identified. Recent innovations, such as nanotechnology integration, personalized medicine applications, and the use of digital health platforms, showcase the ongoing efforts to overcome these challenges. Oral thin film technology stands at the forefront of pharmaceutical innovation, offering a patient-friendly and adaptable drug delivery system. As evidenced by recent developments, the integration of advanced technologies, personalized medicine approaches, and sustainable practices positions OTFs as a transformative force in the future of drug delivery. The exploration of these advancements and applications contributes to a deeper understanding of the potential impact of OTF technology on healthcare.
