Abstract
An oral buccoadhesive drug delivery system for Losartan potassium using a hydrophilic polysaccharide, isolated from Prunus amygdalaus (Badam gum), was developed and evaluated for its potential to overcome the drawbacks associated with the conventional drug therapy. The results of the study indicate that the isolated polysaccharide has good physicochemical and morphological characteristics and is suitable for use as a mucoadhesive sustain release polymer in pharmaceutical dosage forms, to alleviate the drawbacks of the conventional drug therapy of Losartan potassium.
