 Thin films are a promising new drug delivery system that can offer many advantages compared to traditional dosage forms. These include convenience in administration, faster dissolution rates, and versatility across different routes of administration. However, there are still challenges to overcome before they become widely adopted, such as understanding the physical and chemical properties of the materials involved, selecting the right manufacturing process, and ensuring product quality. Recent advances in the field suggest that these challenges may soon be surmounted, leading to a wider adoption of thin films as a viable drug delivery option.
