Bioadhesive tablet formulations have been developed for mucosal application. Sixteen different bioadhesive tablet formulations were prepared and evaluated. Their bioadhesion to vaginal mucosa were studied by tensile testing method. The swelling behaviour of the tablets in three different solutions was
