Aim: The aim of this work is development and evaluation of chlorhexidine medicated chewing gums by different methods and to study the influence of different plasticizers and methods on physicochemical parameters and in vitro drug release profile. Materials and Methods: Chlorhexidine is an antibacterial agent used for management of tooth decay. The formulations are prepared with varying concentrations of plasticizers and synthetic gum base by different methods such as direct compression and...

Article published in Tablets & Capsules in January 2013 In this edition of the column, Javier Belmar and Marc Ribé of Cafosa discuss the formulation and manufacture of direct-compression medicated chewing gum. Until recently, chewing gum required high-temperature extrusion. Today, formulators can use a combination of powder excipients to create chewing gums that run on standard tablet presses. http://www.healthingum.com/pdf/Eye%20on%20excipients.pdf
