The "stamp" that disappears in the mouth - Oral Dissolving Film

Oral Dissolving Film, as thin as a stamp, does not need to be chewed or even drunk, and can work as soon as it "melts in the mouth".
Oral Thin Film (OTF) is a new type of film dosage form, which is a mixture of drugs and suitable film-forming materials, and is processed into a film preparation with a thickness of about 12-100 microns.
Patients can take it without drinking water. The drug dissolves quickly on the tongue, and its components are absorbed into the blood circulation through the oral mucosa, avoiding the first-pass metabolism of the drug through the gastrointestinal tract, so as to achieve faster drug efficacy.

The advantages of oral dissolving film as belows：
1. Easy to take:
No need to drink water, chew or swallow when taking medicine, suitable for children, the elderly and patients who have difficulty swallowing or chewing solid dosage forms, such as patients with mental illness, post-anesthesia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Excipients can make the oral dissolving film "colorful, fragrant and delicious", with good taste, easy for children to accept, and good compliance of patients with medication.

2. Small and portable:
Biodegradable, good biocompatibility, easy to use, carry, transport and store.

3. Rapid absorption:
Quick onset of effect, the orodispersible film can be moistened, dissolved and released by saliva within a few seconds to one minute after being put into the mouth. It can directly enter the systemic circulation after being absorbed through the sublingual vein and is not affected by the first-pass effect of the liver.

4. Strong stability and dosage accuracy.
