The aim of the present study was to prepare and evaluate transdermal patches of Metoprolol Tartrate using sodium alginate and xanthan gum as biopolymers to minimize adverse effects associated with oral administration. Transdermal films of Metoprolol Tartrate with sodium alginate / xanthan gum by varying the blend ratios were prepared by solvent casting method. FTIR and DSC were studied to assess any interaction between the drug and the polymers. Drug loaded films were evaluated for physicochemical characteristics such as physical appearance, thickness, weight uniformity, folding endurance, % moisture absorption studies, , drug content uniformity, tensile strength, and in vitro diffusion was determined by Franz diffusion cell. The patches were tested for their potential to cause skin irritation in rats. Thin, flexible, smooth and transparent films of Metoprolol Tartrate was obtained with sodium alginate/xanthan gum blends. The FT-IR and DSC studies confirmed no interaction between the drug and polymers. Thickness, Tensile strength, folding endurance and % elongation were found to be uniform and reproducible.
