Abstract

Objective: To formulate a propellant-free sublingual spray of Risedronate sodium, addressing issues of gastrointestinal side effects associated with current oral formulations and improving patient compliance.

Methods: Initially, a fractional factorial design was used to screen variables, followed by a face-centered central composite design for optimization. Formulation batches were characterized by spray pattern, spray angle, leak test, prime test, drug delivery uniformity, drug content per spray, and ex-vivo permeation study.

Results: The optimized batch O1 exhibited an ovality ratio of 1.1, a spray angle of 640, and a drug permeation percentage of 4. In vivo absorption analysis revealed that the relative bioavailability of optimized batch O1 was 2.27 times higher than that of the plain drug solution. Compatibility of the product pack with excipients and the drug was confirmed through stability studies of batch O1.

Conclusion: The study concluded that Risedronate sodium sublingual spray presents a promising alternative to oral administration, potentially reducing gastrointestinal side effects and enhancing patient compliance.
