Formulation and evaluation of simvastatin buccal film

Formulation and evaluation of simvastatin buccal adhesive tablets

The objective of the study was to develop buccal adhesive tablets of Simvastatin using mucoadhesive polymers. Simvastatin has short biological half-life (3hr), high first-pass metabolism and poor oral bioavailability (5%), hence an ideal candidate for buccal delivery system. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique using xanthan gum, guar gum, chitosan and aloe gum. Aloe gum wa...

Formulation and Evaluation of Mucoadhesive Buccal Tablet of Simvastatin

In present study mucoadhesive buccal tablet of simvastatin was prepared. Solubility of Simvastatin was enhanced by complexing Simvastatin with β-CD in 1:2 molar concentrations. Six different formulations of tablets of Simvastatin containing the polymers in various combinations were prepared by direct compression method and characterized for swelling studies, % matrix erosion, surface pH, mucoad...

formulation and evaluation of triamcinolon acetonid bilayer buccal adhesive film

Formulation and Evaluation of Nitrendipine Buccal Films

A mucoadhesive drug delivery system for systemic delivery of nitrendipine, a calcium channel blocker through buccal route was formulated. Mucoadhesive polymers like hydroxypropylmethylcellulose K-100, hydroxypropylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone K-30 and carbopol-934P were used for film fabrication. The films were evaluated for...

Preparation and pharmaceutical evaluation of Mucoadhesive Buccal film extracts of petroselinum for pharyngitis symptoms

Background: Recently, the mucosa has attracted attention due to its large arteries and high permeability for drug delivery. Due to the anti-inflammatory effect of parsley and easy access to this plant in Iran and the fact that the adhesive mucosa film is a new method with high performance and efficiency of drug transfer, this study was done to evaluate the effect of this plant on the pharyngiti...
