Abstract

The intent of this study was to develop a topical Cinnamon oil film-forming spray that could enhance the healing process of wounds. In comparison to conventional topical preparations, film-forming sprays have a number of benefits, including uniform drug distribution and dose, enhanced bioavailability, a decreased risk of irritation, continuous drug release, and quicker wound healing through moisture control. Polymers and excipients used in film-forming sprays help to increase the properties of preparations and the stability of active ingredients. Different excipient and polymer combinations will result in films with various characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the various categories of polymers and excipients, as well as their assessment criteria, in order to create a film-forming spray that is more effective. The chosen literature comprised studies on the development and assessment of film-forming sprays with potential medical applications that use plasticizers and polymers as filmforming matrices. This article contains the various polymer and excipient types and their concentrations, spraying type, assessments, and crucial variables in determining the spray ability and film characteristics. The review comes to the conclusion that the developed film-forming spray formulation was clear, and grittiness free in appearance. The evaluation investigations revealed that the pH becomes similar to that of normal skin and has the ability to evaporate swiftly resulting in lesser skin irritation when sprayed on wounds. The spray is more convenient to use, can be applied easily thus improve patient acceptance and compliance.
