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...

abstract: background: a new type of drug delivery system known as mucoadhesive film has been developed for oral thrush treatment. due to comfortable use of this drug delivery system, this would be encouragingly utilized, especially in babies and patient under chemotherapy. nystatin mucoadhesive film (nmf) is a polymeric film which is adhered to front upper gum and back to the upper lip and rele...

BACKGROUND Fentanyl buccal soluble film (FBSF) has been developed as a treatment of breakthrough pain in opioid-tolerant patients with cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of FBSF at doses of 200-1200 microg in the management of breakthrough pain in patients with cancer receiving ongoing opioid therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a multicenter, randomized, doubl...

Tricyclic antidepressants, as doxepin hydrochloride (DH), may also have analgesic neighborhood effect due to its biochemical mechanism of action. This is commonly performed via drug be administers directly into the blood flow Buccal mucosa through using fast dissolving movie system. The main aim study was formulate and evaluate Doxepin by buccal film. film were prepared solvent casting method d...

Abstract: Aim and Objectives: The main motto of this work was to search the additive effect Datura stramonium leaves mucilage in making buccoadhesive film by taking Aceclofenac as a model drug. Materials Methods: Nine formulations buccal films were made using Carbopol 934 P varying proportions Ethyl Cellulose D. mucilage. judged for compatibility studies physical constraints including content d...

Abstract Administration of drugs via the buccal route has attracted much attention in recent years. However, developing systems with satisfactory adhesion under wet conditions and adequate drug bioavailability still remains a challenge. Here, we propose mussel-inspired mucoadhesive film. Ex vivo models show that this film can achieve strong to tissues (up 38.72 ± 10.94 kPa). We also demonstrate...

Suction feeding in fishes is the result of a highly coordinated explosive expansion of the buccal cavity that results in a rapid drop in pressure. Prey are drawn into the mouth by a flow of water that is generated by this expansion. At a gross level it is clear that the expansion of the buccal cavity is responsible for the drop in pressure. However, attempts using high-speed video recordings to...

The goal of the present investigation was to design and evaluate mucoadhesive buccal patches of Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride (CPH) which is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic, serotonin-antagonist, and calcium-channel blocking action. Buccal films were made with Hydroxy propylcellulose (HPC EF) and Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC E15) as mucoadhesive polymers. Permeation of CPH ...
