Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Mouth Ulcer Gum

Chewing gum can be used as a mobile drug delivery system for administering drugs locally or systematically via the oral cavity. Herbal chewing gum has gained acceptance as a drug delivery system due to its natural ingredients. A recent study aimed to investigate an herbal formulation for anti-ulcer activity. The study successfully formulated a medicated herbal chewing gum with anti-ulcer properties, using ingredients such as Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), curry leaves, and the rhizome of Curcumin. The gum was found to be pale yellow with a sweet taste.
