| abstract |
The invention relates to an oral film having reduced adherence to oral cavity comprising water-soluble polymer as an essential polymer base in combination with film former, wherein the ratio of water-soluble polymer to the film former is about 25: 1 to about 250: 1 that is suitable for delivering drugs from various pharmacological categories ranging from conventional small molecules to proteins or peptides. In particular the invention relates to oral films which are bioequivalent to conventional immediate release oral dosage forms and exhibiting one or more favorable properties such as fast dissolution time, improved drug loading, improved mechanical properties (burst strength, tensile strength, modules of elongation). |
