This study aimed to explore film forming capacity of a natural
polysaccharide, gellan gum (GG), for fabrication of oral thin films
(OTFs) for the delivery of drugs [1]. For the development of
buccal film with ideal mechanical properties and adequate
amount of drug incorporated, concentration of polymer and
plasticizer were optimized to obtain films with the highest
standard in terms of flexibility and homogeneity [2]. Moreover,
attention was also paid to the exploration of opportune
dissolution tests able to discriminate the release profiles of drugs
from polymeric thin films
