This paper describes the preparation of new bilayered device comprising a drug containing mucoadhesive layer and a drug free backing layer. Bilaminated films were produced by a casting/ solvent evaporation technique. The mucoadhesive layer was composed of mixture of drug and sodium alginate with or without carbopol 934 P, and backing layer was made of ethyl cellulose. The double layer structure...

Buccoadhesive tablets of carvedilol were prepared using HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M and Carbopol 934 as mucoadhesive polymers. Fifteen formulations were developed with varying concentrations of polymers. Formulations of the BC or BD series were composed of HPMC K4M or HPMC K15M in ratios of 1:1 to 1:5 whereas in the BE series Carbopol 934 was used (1:0.25 to 1:1.50). The formulations were tested for in...

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...

Darifenacin is a urinary antispasmodic. The oral absorption of darifenacin is poor due to its low solubility and poor bioavailability (15-19%). Darifenacin was complexed with hydroxylropyl beta-cyclodextrin (Hpβ-CD). The best results were obtained with the coevaporation that interacts in a 1 : 1 drug : cyclodextrin molar ratio. The solid inclusion complexes were found to be amorphous in the cha...
