He said, “Oral thin films are a novel drug delivery system in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. They are an effective method that is quickly absorbed on the tongue without water and without swallowing.”

Meanwhile, these films dissolve within the buccal cavity upon contact with saliva, providing instant effects. They are especially helpful for bedridden patients and babies.”

When asked about the cost, he acknowledged that these are expensive products due to their costly manufacturing process and the fact that nutraceuticals are generally a premium range in pharmaceuticals.

However, he added that they offer a range of prices from affordable to premium, depending on the consumer’s needs.
