The reason that the oral route attained such acceptance may be ascribed to its affluence of
administration. Over the years, patient convenience- oriented exploration in the area of drug delivery
has introduced potential innovative medicine delivery systems. The elegant drug delivery system is an
amalgamation of science and dexterity with therapeutic prospect and presentability. It involves the administration
of medications in a groundbreaking fashion with the assistance of cosmetics, wearable
devices and oral drug delivery system which can also be used for ornamental purposes. Out of which,
therapeutic chewing gum offers a highly suitable and amenable technique of dosing medications comprising
children and elderlies. It is a potentially convenient means of administering medications either
locally or systematically via the oral cavity. It bids innumerable gains over conventional drug delivery
methods. Moreover, medicinal chewing gums involve the dynamic and constant masticatory actions for
drug release. Currently, enriched expertise has made it promising to advance and fabricate medicated
chewing gum with predefined properties and it could be a marketable triumph in the future. Apprehending
this, several investigators and pharmaceutical companies are now engaged in developing innovative
practices vis-à-vis medicated chewing gums by filing several patents in this area. The present manuscript
also delivers a gestalt of various patented technology platforms based on different methods/
mechanisms employed for the preparation of medicated chewing gums.
