Abstract
Convenience of administration and patient compliance are gaining significant importance in the design of dosage forms. Metformin hydrochloride and Glimepiride are orally administered antihyperglycemic agent, used in the management of non-insulin-dependent (type-2) diabetes mellitus. Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) is common among all age groups, especially in elderly and pediatrics. Unfortunately, a high percentage of patients suffering from type-2 diabetes are elderly people showing dysphagia. Persons suffering from dysphagia may get choked when they consume liquid formulation, thus to alleviate such problem liquid formulation of high viscosity was prepared. Formulation of oral soft jellies  was carried out using combination of hydrophilic polymers guar gum and pectin. 3 different  concentrations of guar gum (0.3 to 0.5% w/v)  and 2 concentration of pectin were used (0.2 to 0.3% w/v)  respectively. The prepared batches were evaluated for appearance, viscosity, pH, drug content, syneresis, in vitro drug release, and taste masking. The batch with 0.5% w/v guar gum and 0.2% pectin not only showed 80% drug release at 60 min, but all the desired organoleptic properties. The taste masking was carried out using non nutritive sugar and flavors. The optimized batch showed substantial stability when subjected to short term stability study (0-8°C and Room temperature). The problem of dose measurement by patients was outweighed as oral medicated gels are to be packed in unit dose container.

ABSTRACT
Nasal route for the administration of drugs is used as an alternative route for the systemic availability of drugs restricted to intravenous administration. This is due to the large surface area, porous endothelial membrane, high total blood flow, the avoidance of first-pass metabolism, and ready accessibility. The nasal administration of drugs, including many biotechnological compounds like hormones, vaccines, peptide and protein drugs to give enhanced bioavailability. Many drug delivery methods for nasal availability of liquid, semisolid and solid formulation are investigated to avail the drugs to treat most CNS diseases (i.e., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Migraine attack) because it requires rapid and/or specific targeted delivery of drugs to the brain.
In this review we discuss some factors affecting nasal absorption, bio-availability barriers, and strategies to improve nasal absorption, new developments in nasal dosage form design and applications of nasal drug delivery system and the effects of microspheres, liposomes and other bioadhesive drug delivery systems on nasal drug absorption.
