ABSTRACT

Buccal film technology has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing drug delivery due to its numerous advantages such as improved patient compliance, rapid onset of action, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the development of buccal films, aimed at enhancing drug loading capacity, mucoadhesive properties, and controlled release kinetics. This review summarizes recent advancements in buccal film technology aimed at optimizing drug delivery. It encompasses various aspects including formulation strategies, materials used, manufacturing techniques, and therapeutic applications. Additionally, challenges and future prospects in the field are discussed to provide insights for researchers and practitioners. Through this review, we aim to shed light on the potential of buccal film technology to revolutionize drug delivery and improve patient outcomes.
