Applications for Efficacy Evaluation of Oral Thin Film
Inquiry
Oral thin films offer a convenient and easy-to-use method of drug delivery, making them particularly suitable for pediatric and geriatric populations. CD Formulation has many years of research and service experience in the development of novel drug delivery systems, we provide oral thin film efficacy evaluations that can effectively determine the therapeutic efficacy and safety of a drug for a specific disease, and by evaluating the efficacy of a drug, we can determine the effectiveness of a specific disease.

Importance of Oral Thin Film Efficacy Evaluation
Oral thin film is an increasingly popular pharmaceutical dosage form, known for its convenience, ease of administration, and rapid onset of action. The efficacy evaluation of oral thin film formulations is essential for ensuring patient safety, treatment efficacy, medication adherence, regulatory approval, and informed clinical decision-making, it provides support and basis for safe drug use in patients.
- Oral thin film efficacy evaluation is to determine the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of the active drug ingredient.
- Oral thin film efficacy evaluation helps determine whether oral thin film is effective in treating the targeted condition or disease.
- Oral thin film efficacy evaluation helps assess any potential adverse effects, drug interactions, and toxicity.
Our Oral Thin Film Efficacy Evaluation Services
Oral thin film efficacy evaluation projects typically involve preclinical investigations, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation and stability studies to determine the safety and effectiveness of the thin films.
- Preclinical Investigations: Our preclinical investigations process includes physical stability, water resistance, film thickness, folding endurance, surface pH, flavor, average weight, disintegration time, etc.
- Pharmacokinetic Evaluation: Our pharmacokinetic evaluation includes the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of thin film in the body.
- In Vitro and In Vivo Studies: Testing the performance of oral thin film in laboratory settings and in animal models can provide data on its dissolution rate, bioavailability, and efficacy in delivering the drug.
- Stability Studies: We aim to evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbiological stability of the oral films under different environmental conditions to ensure shelf life and continued effectiveness.

Results: In this study, designed mucoadhesive buccal film containing fluticasone and selected formulations with adequate properties were further examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and subjected to in vivo evaluation. Films containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/ethyl cellulose (EC) showed acceptable physicochemical properties, homogenous drug distribution, convenient mucoadhesion time, moderate swelling as well as sustained drug release up to 12 h. The biological performance of these formulations was assessed on healthy human volunteers and compared with a prepared mouthwash which showed enhanced pharmacokinetic parameters for the selected films in comparison to the mouthwash.
