The objective of the present investigation is to formulate Nizatidine loaded superporous floating hydrogel tablets. In the present study Nizatidine floating tablets were prepared by effervescence method using sodium bicarbonate as a gas generating agent. The tablets were formulated using direct compression technology by employing polymers like chitosan, carbopol 934p and ethyl cellulose. The pr...

Rosigilitazone maleate is an anti-diabetic agent is used in the management of Type-II diabetes mellitus. The present investigation concerns the development of the sustained release floating matrix tablets which are designed to exhibit a prolonged gastric residence time and controlling the drug release from the dosage form. This system is useful particularly for achieving controlled plasma level...

In present study mucoadhesive buccal tablet of simvastatin was prepared. Solubility of Simvastatin was enhanced by complexing Simvastatin with β-CD in 1:2 molar concentrations. Six different formulations of tablets of Simvastatin containing the polymers in various combinations were prepared by direct compression method and characterized for swelling studies, % matrix erosion, surface pH, mucoad...

In this study, an attempt was made to deliver pantoprazole in a sustained manner using delayed release tablets. The tablets were prepared by the wet granulation method using HPMC, cassava starch and polyvinyl pyrrolidine as polymers, Avicel PH 102 (MCC) as filler and potato starch as binder. The prepared tablets were evaluated for hardness, mass variation, friability and drug content uniformity...

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...

The present study was carried out with an objective of preparation and in vitro evaluation of floating tablets of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) using ranitidine hydrochloride as a model drug. The floating tablets were based on effervescent approach using sodium bicarbonate a gas generating agent. The tablets were prepared by dry granulation method. The effec...

The aim of this research was to investigate the technique for preparation of coated valproic acid and sodium valproate sustained-release matrix tablets. Different diluents were tested and selected as the effective absorbent for oily valproic acid. Effect of the amount of absorbent and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose on drug release from valproic acid-sodium valproate matrix tablets prepared with w...

PURPOSE The present study was explored to develop a sustained release matrix tablet of Indapamide, a low-dose thiazide-type diuretic, using hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose (Methocel K15MCR) in various proportions as release controlling factor. METHODS The tablets were formulated using direct compression method. The powers for tableting were evaluated for angle of response, loose bulk density, ...

The overall objective of the present work was to develop an oral sustained-release (SR) Metformin tablet that is prepared by direct compression method using hydrophilic hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and Guar gum polymer alone as well in combination at different concentrations. a biguanide has relatively short plasma half-life. It low absolute bioavailability. All properties were evalu...
