| Summary: | The objective of the present study was to develop and evaluate mucoadhesive dosage form of Domperidone maleate. It is an antiemetic synthetic benzimidazole compound that acts as a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. Mucoadhesive Domperidone maleate tablet formulation was prepared by direct compression method. The formulation F3 containing (Carbopol 940 + sodium alginate) was found to be best among all the formulation batches because of its consistent release rate for 7 h and extent of drug release was 94.44%. Graphical treatment of the formulation F3 to Higuchi’s equation showed that the drug release was diffusion mediated. In-vitro permeability study for formulation F3 for 7 h had shown 76.69% drug release. FTIR studies showed no evidence on interaction between drug and polymers. |
