Preparation and Evaluation of a Powdered Rebamipide Mouthwash as In-Hospital Formulation: Considering Dispersion before Use in Patients

In Japan, rebamipide (RB) mouthwash (RB-MW) for oral mucositis induced by cancer chemotherapy has been prepared using in-hospital formulation. Usually, RB-MW is prepared by dispersing crushed commercial RB tablets in the dispersion medium; however, uniformity is difficult to obtain due to low solubi...
