What Are ODF?

Thin Film Technology for Modern Dosage Forms

Orodispersible Films (ODF) — also known as Oral Thin Films (OTF) — are ultra-thin, flexible polymer films loaded with an active ingredient. Placed on the tongue, they dissolve within seconds, enabling rapid absorption via the oral mucosa.

ODF can be formulated as pharmaceutical drug products or as food/nutraceutical products. The applicable regulatory pathway — pharmaceutical/CDSCO or FSSAI/nutraceutical — depends on the active ingredient, intended use and legal classification of the finished product.

This dosage form is particularly suited to paediatric, geriatric and on-the-go patient populations, and offers advantages in compliance, portability and speed of action compared to conventional tablets or capsules.

  • Dissolves in under 30 seconds on the tongue
  • Bypasses first-pass hepatic metabolism
  • Precise unit dosing with content uniformity
  • Thin, flexible and easy to carry
  • Suitable for a wide range of APIs

Why ODS?

Key Advantages of Orodispersible Films

Rapid Onset

Active ingredient absorbed directly through oral mucosa — faster than conventional tablets or capsules.

No Water Needed

Dissolves on the tongue in seconds. Ideal for patients with dysphagia or in settings without access to water.

Paediatric & Geriatric Friendly

Thin, flexible strips are easy to administer to children and elderly patients who struggle with swallowing.

Improved Compliance

Discreet, portable and easy to use — patients are more likely to take their medication or supplement as prescribed.

Flavour Masking

Advanced film technology allows effective masking of bitter or unpleasant active ingredients.

Domestic & Export Supply

Manufactured at facilities compliant with the applicable regulatory framework for the product classification — pharmaceutical or food/nutraceutical — with full documentation for domestic and export markets.
