Abstract

Recent changes in regulatory requirements for paediatric formulations demand development of age-appropriate dosage forms that are stable for ease of dosing, compliance and dose flexibility while maintaining accuracy and safety. Films were developed by optimising various formulation variables including type of solvent (water, ethanol), polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as plasticiser and different film forming polymers [(metolose (MET), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), methylcellulose (MC), sodium alginate (SA), and carrageenan (CA)], drug stabilization and loading capacity. Films were subsequently functionally characterised using various techniques.
