FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF MUCOADHESIVE ORAL PATCHES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MOUTH ULCER
Mucoadhesive buccal patches are widely recognized as an effective approach for delivering drugs directly to the oral mucosa for the treatment of mouth ulcers. The present investigation was undertaken to develop and evaluate mucoadhesive oral patches for improved management of oral ulcer conditions. The formulations were prepared by employing the solvent casting technique using suitable polymers, including Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Carbopol, to obtain effective mucoadhesive and film-forming characteristics. OraTrust Gel was utilized as the therapeutic preparation to provide anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving activity. The prepared patches were evaluated for several physicochemical properties such as thickness, weight variation, folding endurance, surface pH, and visual appearance. The formulated films demonstrated satisfactory flexibility, uniform structure, and appropriate surface properties for buccal administration. The overall findings suggest that the developed mucoadhesive patches could enhance drug retention at the affected site, improve therapeutic response, and provide greater convenience and comfort to patients suffering from mouth ulcers.
