Abstract: OBJECTIVE To provide reference for further development of Bletilla striata gum on dosage forms. METHODS The paper summarized and reviewed the research progress on pharmaceutics of Bletilla striata gum via consulting the recent literature related to the dosage forms of Bletilla striata gum. RESULTS As the main medicine, Bletilla striata gum could be made into cream, paints, powder, flexible liposomes and tablets. As pharmaceutical excipients, Bletilla striata gum was eligible for gel base, film-forming materials, gastric-floating sustained release tablets excipients, poorly-soluble drug delivery carrier and inclusion materials. Both as the main medicine and excipients, Bletilla striata gum could be made into lotion, films, gels, buccal adhensive tablets, sustain-release capsules, eye drops, microspheres and biodegradable microneedles. CONCLUSION Bletilla striata gum is the unification of medicines and excipients. Bletilla striata gum has a broad application prospect.
