This review represents importance of mouth dissolving films as compared to other oral dosage forms. Fast dissolving oral drug delivery system are solid dosage form which disintegrate or dissolve within seconds when placed in the mouth without need of water or chewing. First developed fast dissolving dosage form in formulation and the rapid disintegrating properties were obtained through a special procedure or formulation modification, hence mouth dissolving film is proved to be better alternative in such cases. This fast dissolving drug delivery system is suited for the drugs which undergo high first pass metabolism and is used for improving bioavailability. Mouth dissolving film consists of thin oral strip; which release active ingredients immediately after uptake into oral cavity. In present investigation, an attempt has been made to develop oral fast dissolving film. Availability of larger surface area that leads to rapid disintegrating and dissolution in the oral cavity.

In recent years, gastroretentive drug delivery system (GRDDS) has gained researcher’s interest in the field of oral drug delivery. Various GRDDS approaches can be utilized to retain the dosage forms in the stomach and to release the drug slowly for an extended period of time. GRDDS can be used to prolong the residence time of delivery system in the stomach. This results in targeting of drug release at a specific site for the systemic or local effects. GRDDS can be used to overcome challenges associated with conventional oral dosage forms and to release the drug at a specific absorption site to improve bioavailability of particular drug substance. The challenges include fast gastric emptying of the dosage form which results in the poor bioavailability of the drug. Prolongation of the retention of drugs in stomach those having low solubility at high intestinal pH improves the solubility of drugs. GRDDS has proved to be effective in systemic actions as well as in local actions to treat gastric or duodenal ulcers. Local activity in the upper part of the small intestine can be obtained by improving the residence time of delivery system in the stomach. The system is useful for drugs which are unstable in the intestine or having a low solubility/permeability in the small intestine. Various GRDDS approaches include high density (sinking) systems, low-density (floating systems), mucoadhesive, expandable, unfoldable, superporous hydrogel systems, and magnetic systems.

The purpose of any selected drug delivery system (DDS) is to deliver drug to target site and to get the desired drug concentration for effective therapy. The main purpose of designing controlled or sustained DDS is to decrease the frequency of dosing and maximizing its efficiency by confining the area of action of the drug to a selected region. It is well-identified that solid oral dosage form, particularly tablets, is the most satisfactory form of delivering medication. In addition, some new variations are emerging such as mini tabs which offer more formulation flexibility. Oral controlled release DDS are classified into two categories like single unit dosage forms which include tablets, capsules, and multiple-unit dosage forms include pellets, granules, or mini tablets. Mini tablets are a new development in solid dosage forms and more beneficial and great substitute for granules and pellets. Mini tablets defined as tablets which are having diameter <3 mm and promising patient friendly drug delivery system and more acceptable in small children’s and old age people as they are easy to swallow and offer therapeutic benefits such as manufactured relatively easy, dose and formulation flexibility, combination release pattern, coating, and less solvent requirement. Dose dumping and local irritation can be avoided using mini tablets. This review highlights the various advantages of mini tablets, manufacturing processes, formulation possibilities, and their challenges.

The convenience of administration and improved patient compliance are important in the design of oral drug delivery system which remains the preferred route of drug delivery inspite of various disadvantages. Fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs) have received ever-increasing demand during the last decade, and the field has become a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. The popularity and usefulness of the formulation resulted in development of several FDT technologies. These techniques render the disintegration of tablet rapidly and dissolve in mouth in five seconds without chewing and the need of water which is advantageous mainly for pediatrics, geriatrics and patients having difficulty in swallowing tablets and capsules. Formulation of a convenient dosage form for administration, by considering swallowing difficulty and poor patient compliance, leads to development of orally disintegrating tablets. Conventional preparation methods are spray drying, freeze drying, direct compression, Molding, and sublimation while new technologies have been developed for the production of orodispersible tablets. Keywords: Fast Dissolving Tablet, drug delivery system, fast disintegrating, fast melting.
