"SCHEDULE TB
(Refer sub-rule VI of Rule 158 B)
Guidelines for development of nasal spray as dosage form for Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani drugs
I. Introduction.
Any medicine administered through the nose (Nasika) is considered Nasya (Nasal administration)
in Ayurveda. Usually, all the clinical conditions related to head and neck (Urdhwajatrugatavikara) are
treated by following Nasya as the main line of treatment. In conditions like Apasmara, Unamada etc.
procedures like Pradhamana nasya provide instant relief by reflex or systemic action.
There are several varieties like Snehana Nasya (medicated oil or ghee used as nasal drops),
Shamana Nasya (fresh herbal juices or decoctions used for nasal administration), Avapeedana Nasya (fresh
herbs squeezed and the juice used as nasal drops), Pradhama Nasya (powdered herbs forcedly sprayed into
the nose) and Dhuma Nasya (medicated fumes inhaled). For example, Anutaila nasya is indicated for daily
usage; Dadimapushpa svarasa or durva svarasa is used in Nasagata Raktapitta (~epistaxis); Avapeedana
Nasya is used in Ardhavabhedaka; Trikatu churna or Pippali churna is used as Nasya in Apasmara. The
Nasya procedures like Snehana, Avapeedana Nasya etc. are used in the gravitational direction as the other
methods like Dhumanasya and Pradhamana nasya are used against gravitational force. Acharya Charaka
contraindicated herbs like Kushtha (Saussurealappa D C Clarke) and Tagara (Valeriana wallachii DC)
from using in Shiro-virechana. This shows the safety consciousness of Ayurveda practice.
In Siddha system, Nasiyam (Nasal drops) and Nasika aparanam (Medicated snuff) are the types of
external medication applied through nostrils. Nasiyam (Nasal instillation) is a process of instillation of drugs
in liquid form through the nostrils while Nasika aparanam (medicated snuff) is inhalation of medicated
substances in powder form.
In the Unani system, various nasal dosage forms are used and most are nervine tonics and
stimulants, especially helpful in neurological diseases. Dosage form of Nasal drop or fine powder used in
the Unani system of Medicine comes under Drug and Cosmetic Act.
• Saoot (Nasal drop) or Qutoor: A liquid preparation which is used as nasal drop.
• Shamoom: Smelling of the drugs which may be in dry or liquid form so that volatile substances
reach the nasal cavity and respiratory tubes.
• Nashuq or Naswar (Insufflation): A liquid preparation or powder that is used for insufflations.
• Bakhoor or Dhuni (Fumigation): Smoking an affected organ by burning the drugs.
II. Definition.
A nasal spray is a liquid or powder formulation dispensed as a fine spray from a container or
device into the nostril. In this combination of formulation and device, the end user sprays the nasal spray
formulation into the nostril while breathing in through his or her nose. Nasal sprays are used to deliver
medications locally in the nasal cavity.
III. Differentiation from Nasya.
Though the route of administration for Nasya and Nasal Spray is the same (nose), the main
differentiating aspect between traditional Nasya and the new dosage form of Ayush nasal spray is that “in
the traditional method medicated juices or oils are administered through the nasal route without the
support of any specialized instrument or device. Whereas the nasal spray is administered by using a
specific device”. The present definition or introduction of Nasal Spray shall not interfere with the existing
Nasal drops used in the form of oils or decoctions etc. The respective existing nasya methods shall
continue. The medication standards for those items remain to be the same as indicated in the Ayurvedic
Pharmacopoeia of India (API), Part-II (example for Anutaila and Shadbindutaila). The Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) for the performance of Nasya shall also be the same as those developed by Central
Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (C.C.R.A.S.) at National Institute for Panchakarma,
Cherthurthy, Kerala. The standards for the new dosage form "Nasal Spray" and the guidelines for the usage
of the new device are defined in this document.
IV. Guidelines for active ingredient selection.
Active Ingredients should be selected as per the definition of Ayurvedic, Siddha or Unani drugs in
Section 3(h) under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
V. Guidelines for excipient selection.
Selection of excipients should be as per the provisions and terms and conditions provided under
Rule 169 of the Drugs Rules, 1945 and amendments therein.
VI. Specifications for the device (as per the details provided by the manufacturer).
The following quality parameters provide guidance for the selection of packaging material. The
data for these parameters can be obtained from the packaging material supplier and consistency across the
manufacturing lots can be confirmed, based on the certificate of analysis.

| 1. | Droplet Size | If a laser diffraction method is used, droplet size or particle | |
| | Distribution | distribution can be controlled in terms of ranges for the D10, D50, | |
| | or Particle Size | D90, span [(D90 -D10)/D50], and percentage of droplets less than | |
| | Distribution | 10 µm. For nasal sprays, mean D10, D50, D90 values for a given | |

+-------+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
consecutive sprays from that unit at each life stage. However, to
assess precision, the data of each spray would also be reported.
Single spray droplet size distribution and span would be reported
based on volume (mass) rather than count (number of droplets).
The data be provided for nasal sprays at: Fully developed phase
only, Two distances from the actuator orifice. For the increased
ability to detect potential differences between products, it is
recommended that the studies be performed within a range of 2 to
7 cm from the orifice, with the two distances separated by 3 cm or
more. Other Methods that can be used: Microscopy, Cascade
impactor, and Laser Diffraction.
2. Aerodynamic Particle Size
measurement (Powder dosage
form)
The Particle or droplet size distribution in the plume discharged
from inhalation aerosols and sprays and the particle size
distribution in the cloud discharged from inhalation powders are
the important characteristics used in judging product performance.
Although particle size measurement by microscopy can be used to
evaluate the number of large particles, agglomerates, and foreign
particles in the emissions of inhaled aerosols and sprays, whenever
possible, this test should be replaced with a method to determine
the aerodynamic size distribution of the drug aerosol leaving the
product.
3. Spray Pattern
The acceptance criteria for the spray pattern should include the
shape (example, ellipsoid of relative uniform density)as well as the
size of the pattern (example, no axis is greater than 10 millimeters)
and the ratio of the longest to the shortest axes should lie in a
specified range, (for example, 1.00 - 1.30). Data should be
provided to demonstrate that the collection distance selected for the
spray pattern test will provide the optimal discriminatory
capability. For nasal sprays, these distances are recommended to be
at least 3cm apart within the range of 3 to 7 cm.
4. Plume Geometry
Plume geometry describes a side view of the aerosol cloud parallel
to the axis of the plume, and we recommend it be based on high-
speed photography, a laser light sheet and high-speed digital
camera, or other suitable methods. Plume geometry can be
evaluated by a variety of procedures (example, the time sequence
sound-triggered high speed flash photography method, video tape
recording and taking pictures of different frames). Photographs
should be of high quality. The approaches used should allow
monitoring the plume development to define the shape (example,
two side views, at 90° to each other and relative to the axis of the
plume) of the individual spray plume over time.
Plume geometry would be performed at: Beginning life stage only,
One side view only, A single delay time. We recommend plume
geometry measurements be summarized as mean, geometric mean,
and % CV (coefficient of variation).
5. Effect of Dosing Determine the comparative performance of the devices in terms of
Orientation
Spray Content Uniformity and particle or droplet size distribution
at various dosing orientations.
6. Profiling of Sprays Determine the profiles of Spray Content Uniformity and droplet
distribution of each individual spray after the point
at which the labeled number of sprays have been dispensed until
no more sprays are possible (i.e., the container is empty).
7. Effect of Storage on Particle size distribution to be evaluated.
the Particle Size
Distribution
8. Effect of Resting Determine the effect of increasing resting time on the first spray
Time
of unprimed units, followed immediately by the second and the
third sprays. Uniformity of the formulation delivered in the first,
second and third spray (no priming) should be determined.
IX. One-time studies as part of product development (to be submitted along with the license
applied) (mandatory) -
For the most part, these should be one-time studies, preferably performed on multiple batches (e.g.
three or more) of the product, representative of the product intended for distribution.
