DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF EXTENDED RELEASE CEFUROXIME AXETIL FLOATING TABLETS WITH IMPROVED GI ABSORPTION

CODEN : IJPNL 6 Formulation and evaluation of bilayered floating tablets of cefuroxime axetil

Study aims to design a Gastro retentive Drug Delivery System of Cefuroxime axetil (CA). CA is a broad spectrum beta lactam type of antibiotic. More specifically, it is a second-generation cephalosporin. CA has site specific absorption from upper gastro intestinal tract and in intestine it undergoes hydrolysis to cefuroxime having poor absorption. Unabsorbed drug causes high concentration of ant...

The stability of Cefuroxime axetil in tablets.

The stability of cefuroxime axetil in BIORACEF tablets was studied by means of long term (298 K/60% RH), intermediate (303 K/65% RH), accelerated (313 K/75% RH) and stress stability tests. Changes in the concentration of cefuroxime axetil diastereoisomers A and B and their total was determined using the RP-HPLC method, as described in a monograph of Cefuroxime axetil tablets in the British Phar...

Design and In-vitro Evaluation of Sustained Release Floating Tablets of Metformin HCl Based on Effervescence and Swelling

An oral sustained-release floating tablet formulation of metformin HCl was designed and developed. Effervescence and swelling properties were attributed on the developed tablets by sodium bicarbonate and HPMC-PEO polymer combination, respectively. Tablet composition was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Seventeen (17) trial formulations were analyzed according to Box-Behnken desi...
