ABSTRACT
The oral route is considered to be the most advantageous, inexpensive and safe method of
delivery of drugs due to the highest component of compliance, especially paediatric and
geriatric. The final goal of every drug delivery system is the successful delivery of the drug to
the body. Orally disintegrating dosage form is the widely preferred commercial product
among the various dosage forms: The oral disintegrating films (ODF) of Moxonidine
Chloride (MXD)was prepared using HPMC E3, HPMC E6 and Xanthan gum. Using
methanol and dichloromethane in a 1:1 ratio, the polymer solution was prepared and held
aside for around 5 to 6 hours for polymer swelling. MXD was dissolved in measured quantity
of solvents and this drug solution was added to the above polymeric solution. This step was
followed by the addition of plasticizers such as PEG 400, Sweetener and flavour was also
added. Constancy of drug content is reached by mixing in cyclo blender for 15-20 minutes.
The solution was cast on a prepared mould and air dried for 45 minutes. The film was
attentive removed from the mould.
