ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to formulate a gastroretentive film dosage form of
metronidazole using alginate-chitosan added HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl
Cellulose) based which was able to prolong the residence time in stomach, gave a
sustained release in stomach, and have antibacterial activity.
The results showed that films F12 containing 3.34 g of 4% alginate mucilage,
1.16 g of 4% chitosan mucilage, 150 mg HPMC, 8 drops of glycerin and 250 mg of
metronidazole gave good characteristics as a film gastroretentive drug delivery system.
The unfolding time of the films was 6.5 minutes, the films was intact longer than 12 h.
Film showed a sustained release profile of metronidazole for 12 h. The mucoadhesive
value of the films was 106.627 2.114 dyne/cm2 and the swelling index was 111.30%.
Dissolution aliquot showed that the film containing metonidazole was effective to
inhibite the growth of Staphylococcus aureus for 12 hour.
