Purpose: Conjunctivitis is a common eye disorder that causes swelling and inflammation of the conjunctiva. Topical dosage form containing antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed for the treatment and in order to overcome problems of conventional dosage forms the present study aims to develop an ocular insert containing moxifloxacin HCl and ketorolac tromethamine.

Methods: Insert was prepared by a solvent casting method by taking different polymers PVA, PVP K-30, and a combination of both as film-forming polymer, and glycerol as a plasticizer and characterized by various parameters like thickness, folding endurance, pH, swelling index, drug content, mechanical properties, in vitro and in vivo release study.

Article Synopsis
  • Naratriptan is an antimigraine medication that binds to specific serotonin receptors, offering better tolerability and lower recurrence rates compared to other triptans, but it has a slow onset of action and reduced efficacy due to first-pass metabolism.
  • To enhance its effectiveness, a fast dissolving film formulation of Naratriptan was developed using a solvent casting method with Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose (HPMC E6) and glycerol as key ingredients.
  • The optimized formulation (batch F3) showed rapid disintegration (22 seconds) and high drug release (91% in 120 seconds) making it a promising alternative for migraine treatment.
