This present study intended to provide nasal adhesive formulations for the topical treatment of dry nasal syndrome. Mucoadhesive films were prepared according to solvent evaporation method consisting of well-known polymers such as gellan and carboxymethyl cellulose. Mucoadhesive films (A–E) were evaluated in respect to their physicochemical properties, stability, disintegration behavior and tensile strength.
