A dose that dissolves on the tongue.
Oral dispersible films are thin, flexible strips that melt in the mouth within seconds. No water, no swallowing tablets, and an exact dose in every strip.
Who oral films help
Films make medicines easier to take for the patients who find tablets hardest.
Children
No tablets to crush and no syrups to measure. Pleasant flavours help with compliance.
Older adults
For patients with dysphagia or who take many medicines a day.
Nausea & travel
Works without water, so it can be taken when drinking is difficult or not possible.
Nutraceuticals
Vitamins and supplements in a convenient film, carried in a wallet or pocket.
Why a film instead of a tablet.
The active ingredient is spread evenly through a thin polymer film. It hydrates on the tongue, dissolves and is swallowed with saliva.
- Accurate dosing. Each strip is cut to carry one exact dose.
- Easy to take. No choking risk and no need for water.
- Portable. Flat, light sachets fit in a pocket or wallet.
- Protected. Individually sealed foil keeps out moisture and light.
Taking an oral film
Simple enough to explain at the pharmacy counter in a few seconds.
- Dry hands
Make sure fingers are dry so the film does not stick.
- Tear the sachet
Open at the notch and lift the film out.
- Place on tongue
Put the film on the tongue and close the mouth.
- Let it dissolve
It melts within seconds. Swallow normally, no water needed.
