ODF BUSINESS

ctcbio’s Unparalleled Expertise,
Convenient and Effective ODF Technology

What is ODF(Orodispersible Film)?
ODF refers to an oral dissolving film that melts naturally in the mouth. It is easy to administer and absorbs well. It is a thin film-type formulation that dissolves by saliva in the mouth even without water, so it is easy to consume, and the active ingredient is absorbed directly through the mouth or mucous membrane.

This fast-acting dissolving type of formulation was developed in the late 1970s, starting with ODT (Orodispersible Tablets) as an alternative for children and elderly patients who had difficulty swallowing oral solid formulations such as tablets and capsules.

ODF has several advantages, such as convenient administration where water is not required, and improved patient drug compliance. In addition ODF can be used for prompt treatment with first aid drugs in emergency situations due to its instant efficacy, and it also provides for more accurate administration compared to liquid drugs.
