Abstrakt: The use of orally disintegrating films (ODF) as a vehicle for the release of active compounds has drawn attention due to the advantages such as ease of swallowing, precise dosage, low thickness, flexibility, greater comfort and acceptability by the patient in relation to oral tablets, for do not require water for administration, it is ideal for people with difficulty in swallowing. In this review, recent advances in ODFs, their applications and production methods will be presented. The production of ODFs uses polymers, plasticizers and active compounds. Among the compounds added to the film that can affect its properties, the polymer used has a strong influence on the disintegration time and on the controlled release of active principles. Polymers used for the production of oral films must be non-toxic, have good wettability and spreadability, and may be of synthetic or natural origin. Regarding the methods used in the production of ODFs, those currently used are solvent evaporation and hot extrusion. However, one of the great challenges for the production of oral films is the scale up, from laboratory to industrial scale, as factors such as heating, mixing speed and temperatures can lead to changes in film quality. Recently, ODFs have been developed as carriers of natural compounds such as vitamins, phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Thus, it was found that orally disintegrating films are an alternative for the release of active compounds, different from those already existing, which justifies the growing interest in this type of film.
