Oral Strip Formulation Development Expertise at Pharmaffiliates

Fast-Acting, Patient-Centric Drug Delivery, Engineered with Precision

In today’s patient-centric pharmaceutical landscape, oral thin strips (oral films) are emerging as a preferred drug delivery platform especially for pediatric, geriatric, and dysphagic patients. Their rapid onset of action, convenience, and improved compliance make them ideal for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

At Pharmaffiliates, we bring deep formulation science, process expertise, and analytical rigor to oral strip development, transforming concepts into scalable, robust products.

What Are Oral Strips & Why Are They Gaining Momentum?

Oral strips are thin, flexible films designed to dissolve rapidly on the tongue without water. Unlike conventional tablets or capsules, they offer:

  • Faster drug absorption
  • Improved bioavailability
  • Ease of administration
  • Better patient adherence
  • Accurate low-dose delivery

These advantages make oral strips ideal for CNS drugs, pain management, antiemetics, nutraceuticals, and pediatric formulations.

Pharmaffiliates’ Expertise in Oral Strip Formulation Development

At Pharmaffiliates, oral strip development is driven by science-first formulation design and process scalability.

Formulation Development Capabilities

We design oral strips using optimized combinations of:

  • Film-forming polymers
  • Plasticizers for flexibility
  • Taste-masking agents
  • Saliva-stimulated disintegration enhancers
  • API-specific solubility and stability strategies

Each formulation is tailored to ensure uniform drug distribution, mechanical strength, rapid disintegration, and dose accuracy.

End-to-End Oral Strip Development Workflow

Our structured development approach ensures reproducibility and regulatory readiness:

  • Pre-formulation & API compatibility studies
  • Polymer and excipient screening
  • Taste masking & mouthfeel optimization
  • Lab-scale oral strip casting
  • Drying, cutting, and content uniformity optimization
  • Stability and performance evaluation
  • Tech transfer–ready documentation
