WHAT IS PHARMFILM®?

PharmFilm® is a unique and versatile technology for high-performance drug delivery. A small, postage-stamp sized film is taken orally, allowing for fast absorption of the active ingredient without the need for water or liquids. All routes of administration allow for direct entry into the bloodstream, without needles, pills, or injections. PharmFilm strip packaging is resistant to water, extremely durable, and allows for on-the-go convenience.
