ABSTRACT
Amlexanox is the active ingredient in a common topical treatment for recurrent aphthous ulcers of the mouth (canker sores), reducing both
healing time and pain. The aim of the present research is to develop oral dispersible tablet dosage form of a drug meant for management of
aphthous ulcers of the mouth (canker sores) to allow the administration of the dosage form without water. For formulation of oral dispersible tablets, molecular dispersion granulation technique was employed to
optimize the formulation. Formulations are characterize for various parameters like weight variation, hardness, friability, fineness of
dispersion, disintegration time and dissolution were evaluated during manufacturing and found satisfactory with meeting the pharamacopoeial
limits. Finalized formulation was packed in to blisters and studied for stability at 400C/75%RH. Main physical and chemical quality
parameters were evaluated during stability and found satisfactory and within the limits.
Keywords: Amlexanox; aphthous ulcers; Molecular dispersion; oral dispersible tablets; Stability studies.
