Single-Layer Oral Thin Film Development

Single-layer oral thin film is a thin film composed of a polymer containing a single-layer drug carrier. The released drug components enter the bloodstream through the oral mucosa and esophageal tissues and take effect rapidly. CD Formulation has professional oral thin film formulation development technical teams, which analyze the oral thin films from various aspects such as formulation process and quality control, to develop high-quality single-layer oral thin film.

Why Develop Single-Layer Oral Thin Film?

Single-layer film is a kind of film that is widely used in clinical applications. Its preparation method is simple. It is usually a film formed by dispersing drugs in a film-forming material, which can be divided into two categories: soluble oral thin film and water-insoluble oral thin film. The thickness generally does not exceed 1mm, and the area of the film can be adjusted according to the dosage. Films generally used for oral administration are less than 1cm.

• Simple production process, easy to automate and aseptic production.
• Accurate drug content, stable quality.
• Easy to use, suitable for a variety of drug delivery routes.
• Small size, light weight, easy to carry, transport and storage.

Screening of Film Materials

As the carrier of drug, the film-forming material plays an important role in the forming and quality of single-layer oral thin film. Therefore, the screening of the film-forming material is crucial. The film-forming material must be stable, have no unpleasant odor, not affect the efficacy of the drug, and not interfere with the content determination of the drug and the film made has a certain tensile strength and flexibility. We have strong external procurement teams and film-forming materials testing capabilities to ensure the reliability of raw materials and select the most suitable film-forming materials.

Preparation Method

Casting technology is the most commonly used film-making technology for single-layer oral thin film, usually the film-forming material is dissolved in the appropriate solvent filtration, and the drug active ingredients and additives are fully mixed into the pharmaceutical pulp, and then the film is coated with the required thickness, after drying according to the content of the main drug to calculate the area of the unit dose of the film, cut it into small grids for a single dose, and packaging.

Quality Control

Our experienced technicians carry out comprehensive quality control, including physicochemical characterization, development and validation of analytical methods, stability testing, etc.
