Abstract
One portable method of medicine delivery is chewing gum. It may be used to provide medications orally, either systemically or locally. In recent years, significant progress has been made in research and technology related to the oral medication administration route. Medicated chewing gum has gained international attention throughout the year due to its ability to promote patient compliance in both pediatric and geriatric patients as well as the general population. The Mayan Indians used to clean their teeth and refresh their breath by chewing tree resin from the sapodilla tree a thousand years ago. Over the course of the year, herbal chewing gum has been more widely accepted as a medication delivery method. Herbal chewing gum today contains a number of substances. A variety of characteristics, including color, stickiness, hardness, and in vitro drug release, are assessed for the prepared product. Chewing gum can be utilized as a portable medication delivery mechanism for oral drug administration, both systemic and local. The majority of people find chewing gum to be enjoyable. Medicated gum preparations frequently require organic solvents to solubilize the active ingredients, and it can be challenging to remove these organic solvents from the finished product.
