A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON FAST DISSOLVING BUCCAL FILM Authors: Sahani P R And Kavitha A N*
ABSTRACT
Standard oral drug delivery systems encounter many challenges in the gastrointestinal tract,
including inefficient drug release and decreased effectiveness of the dose administered. Many
efforts have been undertaken to increase medicine's efficacy and bioavailability. Drugs
delivered through the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity are called buccal medication drug
delivery systems. In pediatric and geriatric patients, buccal films are more effective, since they
reduce the frequency of dose administration, ensures plasma peak values, reduce side effects,
and make drugs with high first-pass metabolism more affordable. This review outlines the
composition, formulation, formulation technologies, buccal film packaging, and future
prospect related to the fast dissolving drug delivery system.
