The main objective of this study was to develop fast dissolving oral films of ropinirole HCl to attain quick onset of action for the better management of Parkinson’s disease. Twenty-seven formulations (F1-F27) of ropinirole oral dissolving films by solvent-casting method using 33 response surface method by using HPMC E15, Maltodextrin PEG 4000 by using Design of experiment software. Formulations were evaluated for their physical characteristics, thickness, folding endurance, tensile strength, disintegration time, drug content uniformity and drug release characteristics and found to be within the limits. Among the prepared formulations F4 showed minimum disintegration time 11 sec, maximum drug was released i.e. 99.68 ± 1.52% of drug within 10 min when compared to the other formulations and finalized as optimized formulation. FTIR data revealed that no interactions takes place between the drug and polymers used in the optimized formulation. The in vitro dissolution profiles of marketed product and optimized formulation was compared and found to be the drug released was 92.77 ± 1.52 after 50 min. Therefore, it can be a good alternative to conventional ropinirole for immediate action. In vitro evaluation of the ropinirole fast dissolving films confirmed their potential as an innovative dosage form to improve delivery and quick onset of action of ropinirole. The oral dissolving film is considered to be potentially useful for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease where quick onset of action is desired
