Why Use the Word “Orosoluble Film”?

The term “orosoluble” comes from the Latin words oro (mouth) and soluble (which dissolves). It accurately describes an innovative dosage form: a thin, flexible film that dissolves in the mouth, without water, offering fast and practical absorption. This technology is at the core of ODF Nutra’s expertise, whose name stands for Orally Dissolving Film (ODF).

Unlike other synonyms sometimes used in the industry, “orosoluble film” is the term that, in our opinion, best reflects the nature, function, and performance of our product.

Our technology is based on the Orally Dissolving Film (ODF), an innovative route of administration that dissolves rapidly in the mouth. Depending on the context, target market, and level of popularization, this technology may be referred to by various terms used within the industry or by the general public, including “orodispersible film,” “orosoluble film,” “oral film,” “oral strip,” or “thin film.” All of these designations refer to the same underlying technology.

Throughout this website, the term “orosoluble film” (ODF) remains the primary reference. The other expressions are used complementarily, mainly for educational or marketing purposes, in order to facilitate understanding and reflect common terminology used across different markets and within the international Francophone community, for both B2B partners and the general public.

  • Comparatively, “orosoluble film”:
    Emphasizes action in the mouth (oro) and fast dissolving capabilities (soluble)
  • Perfectly matches the ODF technology used by our company

 

This choice of terminology goes beyond a matter of vocabulary. It reflects our commitment toward a clear, safe, and innovative technology that combines dosing accuracy, ease of use, and better adherence to treatment. Its convenient format makes it the perfect solution to use anywhere, anytime, without having to ingest any liquid.

Therefore, we have decided to opt for the term “orosoluble film”. We also use other synonyms in our online documentation for better readability.

Frequently Asked Questions

A fast-dissolving soluble film deposited on the tongue or inside the cheek that releases one or more active ingredients. The active ingredients are then quickly absorbed through the oral mucosa, promoting a fast onset of action.

There is a slight difference. Orodispersible films can also be called oral strips or buccal strips. We can use them interchangeably with mouth bands, orosoluble films, soluble fast-dissolving films, and mucoadhesive films. These terms might seem similar, but there are small differences in the technology behind them.

Oral strips can contain ingredients such as melatonin, vitamin C, and certain B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals like zinc or magnesium. Ingredients known for their targeted effects may also be incorporated, such as naturally sourced caffeine for energy or L-theanine to promote relaxation and overall well-being. Botanical extracts and essential oils, including peppermint, menthol, or eucalyptus oil, can also be formulated depending on the intended application. All ingredients are natural, vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free.
Yes, oral dissolving films work very well. Extensive research has been conducted by Dr. Norbert Mc Mullen, the founder of PharmaDev and a professor-researcher with over 30 years of experience at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Montreal. Dr. Mc Mullen began his research at home, where he created his first orosoluble film prototypes. He conducted for thousands of tests over the years. This research contributed to the effectiveness of orodispersible films.
