Film Forming Spray: A Comprehensive Review

In comparison to traditional topical preparations, film-forming sprays have a number of benefits, including uniform drug distribution and dose, enhanced bioavailability, decreased incidence of irritation, continuous drug release, and quicker wound healing through moisture control. Polymers and excipients used in film-forming sprays work to increase the properties of preparations and the stability of active ingredients. Different excipient and polymer combinations will result in films with various characteristics. The potential for developing compositions of spray film-forming systems has substantially increased thanks to the current state of polymer development and composite synthesis. Therefore, in order to create a film-forming spray that is more effective, it is necessary to evaluate the various types of polymers and excipients and their assessment criteria.
