Oral route is the most preferred route for the delivery of the drugs till date as it bears various advantages over the other route of drug administration, but oral drug delivery systems still need some advancements to be made because of their some drawbacks related to particular class of patients which includes geriatric, pediatric and dysphasic patients associated with many medical conditions as they have difficulty in swallowing or chewing solid dosage forms. Orally fast-dissolving film is new drug delivery system for the oral delivery of the drugs. It was developed on the basis of technology of the transdermal patch.

Present review focus on about fast dissolving oral film their advantages, disadvantages, method of preparation and detailed review.

Keywords: Oral route, fast-dissolving oral film, Fast disintegration, Pediatric Patients, Geriatric Patients.
