Comprehensive Review on Fast Melting Mouth Dissolving Chocolate Strip

For young patients, medicated chocolates and medicated lollipops are quite appropriate dose forms because traditional formulations like tablets and capsules frequently have drawbacks. Alternative drug delivery methods have been required due to challenges such the drug's bitterness and children's incapacity to swallow solid dosage forms. In order to overcome these obstacles, scientists have developed medicated lollipops and chocolate drug delivery systems (medicated chocolates), which improve patient compliance by increasing visual appeal. This study offers a fresh viewpoint on the use of hot-melt extrusion technology in the creation of fixed-dose combos, fast-dissolving films, and oral disintegrating tablets. Previous studies investigated these dosage forms using traditional formulation methods, which have inherent disadvantages such batch manufacturing constraints and the need for significant amounts of solvents. By using hot-melt extrusion, the current study aims to address these issues and provide better manufacturing efficiency, easier administration, and less frequent dosing. This creative method greatly improves patient convenience and therapeutic outcomes while also streamlining the production process.
