Many pediatric and geriatric patients are unwilling to take these solid preparations due to fear of choking. Hence orally dissolving tablets have come into existence. The OTFs place as an alternative in the market due to consumer’s preference for a fast-dissolving product over conventional tablets / capsules. Keywords: fast dissolving oral film, solid dosage form, efficacy of APIs. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
