ORO- DISPERSIBLE FILM: A SOLUTION TO NAUSEA AND VOMITING IN PREGNANCY (NVP) Authors: Garai S And Jani RK*
ABSTRACT
Common gastrointestinal problems like nausea and vomiting can be brought on by a variety of
emetic stimuli via the central and/or peripheral neural systems. When hazardous chemicals,
medications, bacteria, viruses, or fungus enter the body through either the GI tract or injectable
pathways, such as the cutaneous, pulmonary, or circulatory systems. Most typical pregnancy
problem is indigestion and vomiting during gestation. The majority of the time, the symptoms
appear in the first phase, but in a minimal number of instances, they can last the entire pregnancy
as well as influence the woman's quality of life. Although the etiology of NVP is still not completely
comprehended, it's also agreed that the disorder is complex and that a number of hereditary,
endocrine, and viral variables may be at play. NVP treatment is currently aimed at reducing hazards
to mother and fetus while focusing on alleviating symptoms. The most cutting-edge oral solid dose
form is a film that dissolves in the mouth, thanks to its adaptability and user-friendliness. Oro-
dispersible films are oral solid medication methods that, if inserted into the mouth without any
water or chewing, instantly break down and dissolve. Such a dosage enables the medicament to
skip the initial metabolic process, potentially increasing the bioavailability of the drug. This review
presents insights on various commercially available mouth dissolving film products, formulation
methodologies, and evaluation criteria.
