Abstract

Jellies are semisolid dosage forms they are transparent and non-greasy can be used internally. Today, jelly candies are easily accepted by all patients due to the use of flavouring fruit juices and extracts like mango, lemon, orange and strawberry can make them to like the taste and chewing ability. Compared to conventional dosage forms, the patientcompliance form, especially in paediatrics and geriatrics, is advantageous. The unique feature of oral jelly is that it can be easily chewed, dissolves in saliva, and doesn’t require water. Overall, oral medications have the potential to revolutionize the way medications are administered. The review’s objective is to provide a concise explanation of its advantages, disadvantages, and method for preparation. The oral medicated jelly is composed of gelling agent, preservatives, and flavouring agents. As a result, patients are more likely to be drawn to and accept it, contributing to poor patient compliance.
