Abstract This research focuses on the formulation and development of a medicated lollipop containing Albendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic widely used for the treatment of helminth infections. Such infections are a prevalent health concern, particularly among school-aged children. Conventional oral dosage forms like tablets, capsules, and syrups often pose challenges for pediatric, geriatric, and bedridden patients due to difficulties in swallowing and the unpleasant taste of the medication. In response to this, novel drug delivery systems are gaining attention for improving patient compliance.

Medicated lollipops offer an alternative dosage form that allows the drug to be held in the oral cavity, thus enhancing retention time and masking the bitter taste. In this study, lollipops were formulated using the heating and congealing method, incorporating Methylcellulose as the polymer matrix. The compatibility between the drug and excipients was assessed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). All prepared formulations underwent various physicochemical evaluations, including tests for weight variation, hardness, drug content uniformity, and friability, to ensure quality and consistency.
