BioFilm’s fast dissolving and absorbable film delivery mechanism not only facilitates the development of innovative new products, but also represents a significant opportunity for our commercial partners to extend their existing brand products using our film technology. Film products can treat a wide range of conditions simply and effectively through oral administration or topical application. Products currently in tablet, capsule, spray or tincture form are normally suited for development into a dissolving film format. Depending on the specific active ingredient, the upper volume limit for the active in a standard oral strip is around 30mg – 60mg. In typical applications, the dosage can be greater and is dependent upon the thickness of the film. |

Indeed, this market is already emerging in the US with the launch of a number of strips for colds, flu and allergy relief through the leading retailers. A significant number of products are also available aimed primarily at young children. BioFilm’s specialist experience in this technology means it is well placed to take advantage of further advances in this area and we are looking to explore future opportunities with suitable pharmaceutical partners. |
