Abstract

CURRENT REVIEW ON FAST DISSOLVING ORAL WAFERS

ABSTRACT

The difficulty of creating a dose form to enhance patient persuasion and compliance with a certain drug delivery method has increased. The other dosage form is the most agreeable and pleasant due to the wafer's thinness and tiny size. For paediatric and elderly patients, the introduction of oral wafers as the medication delivery mechanism offers an alternative to tablets, capsules, and liquid oral dose forms. Recently the Fast-Dissolving Film or Wafer are gaining the interest as alternative to the fast-dissolving tablets which definitely eliminates the fear of patients of chocking. Wafers are better than other traditional dose forms and other oral solid dosage forms that disintegrate in the mouth. The selection of medications to be included is the main challenge in wafer formulation. To increase patient compliance, wafers with a modest dosage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and a pleasant mouthfeel are created. The wafers need to be packaged carefully and handled with care when being stored, transported, and handled. Wafers have gained popularity among the elderly and paediatric populations despite these challenges due of their simplicity of administration and bioavailability.

Keywords: Oral wafers, Fast dissolving dosage forms, Oral administration, Bioavailability Enhancement.
