INTRODUCTION:
A few decades ago, it was realized that certain proteins could be used as pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of human diseases. e.g. insulin for diabetes mellitus, interferon for viral diseases. However the availability of such therapeutic/ pharmaceutical products was limited due to costly and cumbersome procedures involved in their isolation. Further, their use in humans was associated with several complications. For instance, administration of pig insulin to diabetic patients results in the development of antibodies.

The advent of recombinant DNA technology heralded a new chapter for the production of a wide range of therapeutic agents in sufficient quantities for human use. The commercial exploitation of recombinant DNA  (rDNA) technology began in late 1970s by biotechnological companies to produce proteins.There are around 400 different proteins being produced  by rDNAtechnologyand as of now around 30 have been approved for human use.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to develop formulations of mucoadhesive patches of Acetaminophen. The patches were prepared by the solvent casting method using Eudragit RL 100, Polyvinyl alcohol and Carbopol. 6 different formulations were made. The patches were found to be smooth in appearance, uniform in thickness, weight uniformity, drug content, swelling behaviour, and surface pH.
