The present investigation deals with development of mouth disintegrating tablets of rizatriptan benzoate to produce the intended benefits. Mouth disintegrating tablets of rizatriptan benzoate were prepared using superdisintegrants crospovidone, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, Indion 414 and Indion 234 using the direct compression method. The tablets prepared were evaluated for thickness, unifor...

Tinidazole is a broad spectrum antiprotozoal agent having bitter taste. The present study concerns to mask the bitter taste of tinidazole as an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) using Indion 294 and Indion 204 (ion exchange resin) as a taste masking agent. In first method, 1:1, 1:2 and1:3 ratios of drug and resin were stirred for six hour. Percent drug losses were found to be on higher side in...

In the present work, fast disintegrating tablets of prochlorperazine maleate were designed with a view to enhance patient compliance by direct compression method. In this method mucilage of Plantago ovata and crospovidone were used as superdisintegrants (2-8% w/w) along with microcrystalline cellulose (20-60% w/w) and directly compressible mannitol (Pearlitol SD 200) to enhance mouth feel. The ...

In the present work, fast disintegrating tablets of prochlorperazine maleate were designed with a view to enhance patient compliance by direct compression method. In this method, crospovidone (up to 3% w/w) and croscarmellose sodium (up to 5% w/w) in combination were used as superdisintegrants. Since disintegrants complement each other, accelerating the disintegration process when used together...

The objective of the present study was to prepare the fast disintegrating tablet of Salbutamol Sulphate, Cetirizine Hydrochloride in combined tablet dosage form for respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, asthma, and coughing for pediatrics and geriatrics. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. Superdisintegrant such as Sodium Starch Glycolate was optimized as 4% on the ba...

The main objective of the research work is to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of olmesartan medoxomil by complexation with -Cyclodextrins. The inclusion complexes were prepared by kneading method. The prepared complexes were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The FTIR and XRD spectra o...

The objective of this research work was to mask the intense bitter taste of fexofenadine hydrochloride using weak cation exchange resins and to formulate orodispersible tablet of taste masked drug-resin complex. Five resins indion 204, indion 234, indion 414, kyron T-114 and kyron T-314 were used. Depending on maximum drug loading capacity of resins indion 234 and kyron T-314 were finalized for...

Magaldrate is an antacid have been widely used in the treatment of various gastric and duodenal disorders such as heartburn, reflux esophagitis, acid indigestion, gastritis, sour stomach, upset irritable ulcers. The conventional antacids dosage forms a short duration action which about 2-3 hours due to emptying process. A gastroretentive form needed since healing ulcers occurs when pH kept abov...
