A special punch was designed and fabricated to prepare buccoadhesive core-in cup tablets by making protrusion in the 11 mm upper flat-faced punch. The buccoadhesive cups were prepared by direct compression method using polymers like carbopol 934P and hydroxy propyl methylcellulose on a Cadmach single station tabletting machine. The cups were evaluated for uniformity of weight, depth and thickness.
