Extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (DTZ) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with Kollidon SR. Matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (CW), bees wax (BW), cetyl alcohol (CA) and glyceryl monostearate (GMS). Dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations USP XXII type 1 apparatus. The in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

objective(s): the aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. materials and methods:matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and ph-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty hpmc capsule. to asses...

The study was aimed at developing extended release matrix tablets of poorly water-soluble diclofenac sodium and highly water-soluble metformin hydrochloride by direct compression using cashew gum, xanthan gum and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as release retardants. The suitability of light grade cashew gum as a direct compression excipient was studied using the SeDeM Diagram Expert System...

Oral controlled release matrix tablets of zidovudine were prepared using different proportions and different viscosity grades of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The effect of various formulation factors like polymer proportion, polymer viscosity and compression force on the in vitro release of drug were studied. In vitro release studies were carried out using United States Pharmacopeia (USP) typ...

sustained release oral delivery systems are designed to achieve therapeutically effective concentrations of drug in the systemic circulation over an extended period of time. the purpose of the present investigation was to design and evaluate sustained release matrix tablets of nifedipine, a poorly water soluble drug, employing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ( hpmc) and ethyl cellulose ( ec) as ...

Multi-drug tablets of amlodipine besylate and atenolol were prepared as either mono-layer (mixed matrix) or bilayer tablets containing each drug in a separate layer by using similar excipients and processing. Each tablet batch was packed in strip and blister packs and kept under accelerated temperature and humidity conditions. The stability of two tablet and packaging types was compared by HPLC...

The matrix tablets were prepared by using Eudragit L 100, Poly ethylene oxide and Carbopol 971 P. The granules of Zidovudine using above polymers were prepared by direct mixing, wet granulation with water and wet granulation with IPA. The granules were characterized for the morphological study, bulk density, tapped density and particle size distribution. The granules were compressed in to table...

The aim of this investigation was to develop and optimize bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets for sustained release application by response surface methodology based on 2(3) factorial design. The effects of the amounts of calcium alginate, HPMC K4M, and Carbopol 943 in bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets on the properties of bisoprolol fumarate sustained release matrix tablets like drug release a...
