ABSTRACT

Mouth Dissolving Orodispersible Films (ODFs) are thin, flexible films designed to dissolve quickly in the mouth without the need for water. They are a convenient and patient-friendly drug delivery system, especially useful for pediatric, geriatric, and pediatric patients or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.  Mouth Dissolving Orodispersible Films represent a promising drug delivery platform that combines convenience, rapid action, and improved compliance, making them increasingly popular in modern pharmaceutical formulations. In the present work Mouth Dissolving Orodispersible Films of Irbesartan and Triamterene was formulated, optimized using design expert software and further characterized.

Keywords: Mouth dissolving film, Oral delivery, Optimization, Diuretic
