Abstract

In pharmaceutical technologists have developed a novel oral dosage form known as Oral medicated jellies which disintegrate rapidly in saliva, usually in a matter of seconds, without the need of water. Drug dissolution and absorption as well as onset of clinical effect and drug conventional dosage forms bioavailability may be significantly greater than those observed from. The present investigation is focused to develop the elegant, acceptable, stable oral medicated jelly. Oral medicated jellies have widely accepted by patient as it has significant impact on the patient compliance. Oral medicated jellies are appreciated by a significant segment of populations particularly who have difficulty in swallowing. It has been reported that Dysphasia (difficulty in swallowing) is common among all age groups and more specific with pediatric, geriatric population along with institutionalized patients, psychiatric patients and patients with nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness complications. Dysphasia is observed in the general population, as well the elderly patient. Oral medicated jelly provide a better acceptability among the population with less side effect and provide good taste and flavor increase the acceptability of bitter drugs by various groups of population.
