Oral fast dissolving technology refers to a pharmaceutical formulation strategy that enables drugs to dissolve quickly in the oral cavity. With its ability to dissolve quickly in the mouth, this dosage form offers convenience, improved patient compliance, and enhanced bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. It is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets or capsules, such as the elderly or pediatric populations. Moreover, patients with mental health issues, those suffering from nausea, or individuals without access to water can also benefit significantly from this technology. As the demand for patient-friendly medication options continues to grow, oral fast dissolving technology is poised to play a significant role in the future of healthcare. At our company, we have a comprehensive oral fast dissolving technology platform that possesses many innovative solutions.
Advantages of Oral Fast Dissolving Technology
In addition to improved patient compliance and enhanced bioavailability mentioned above, oral fast dissolving technology also has the following advantages.
01
Fast-dissolving formulations dissolve quickly in the mouth, allowing for rapid absorption of the drug into the bloodstream. This leads to a quicker onset of therapeutic action, which is particularly beneficial for acute conditions.
02
Some oral fast dissolving pharmaceutical formulations such as orally fast-dissolving film (OFDF), allow for effective taste masking of bitter or unpleasant-tasting medications, making them more palatable for patients.
03
Fast-dissolving dosage forms are typically light and do not require water for administration, making them easy to carry and use on-the-go.
04
The technology may be used for a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including those that are poorly soluble or have specific delivery needs, allowing for the development of diverse therapeutic options.
Access Our Oral Fast Dissolving Technology Platform
Our platform is designed to harness and explore the full potential of orally fast dissolving technology through robust research and development capabilities and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. At present, our platform can develop orally disintegrating tablets (ODT), orally disintegrating powders (ODP), and orally fast-dissolving film (OFDF).
01ODT
ODTs are solid dosage forms that disintegrate quickly in the mouth without the need for water. This technology uses super-disintegrants and effervescent agents to achieve rapid dissolution, ensuring that the medication is swiftly absorbed into the bloodstream.
02ODP
ODPs can be sprinkled directly onto the tongue, mixed with food, or dissolved in beverages. Same as ODT, they offer an excellent alternative for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules. ODPs also facilitate the incorporation of multiple APIs, making combination therapies more attainable.
03OFDF
OFDFs are thin films infused with therapeutic agents that dissolve instantly when placed on the tongue. These films deliver precise doses of medication in a manner that is both user-friendly and efficient. Since the films dissolve quickly and thoroughly, they eliminate the risk of choking.
For oral fast dissolving pharmaceutical formulation development, our platform can offer a holistic suite of services that cater to the entire lifecycle of ODT, ODP and OFDF drug development and commercialization. Our services include:
