None of the methods currently proposed for studying various adhesion characteristics of polymers and approved for use in dosage form formulations is standardized and recommended by regulations. The aim of the present work was to develop and test a modified method for determining mucoadhesion on a coaxial rotational viscometer using a pool of samples with known mucoadhesive properties (xanthan gum, cross-linked acrylic polymers, and various cellulose derivatives in similar concentrations). The prospects of using a rheological method for estimating the mucoadhesion of polymer solutions were demonstrated. A general visual assessment of the rheograms, i.e., the shape, smoothness, peaks, plateau zone, and shear-stress range, could be used for screening even in the absence of generally accepted optimal shear-stress values.
