The aim of the present investigation was to prepare & evaluate bilayer floating tablet of Baclofen. In which one layer was made up of immediate release layer to provide loading dose, while another layer was made up of floating layer of BCF to provide maintenance dose. The focus of present work was to prepare and evaluate bilayer floating tablet of Baclofen to increase residence time in stomach ...

Floating multi-layer coated tablets were designed based on gas formation. The system consists of a drug-containing core tablet coated with a protective layer (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a gas forming layer (sodium bicarbonate) and a gas-entrapped membrane, respectively. The mechanical properties of acrylic polymers (Eudragit RL 30D, RS 30D, NE 30D) and ethylcellulose were characterized by ...

The aim of the present work was to develop a gastroretentive floating tablet of Atenolol and investigate the effects of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic retardant on in vitro release. Atenolol is an antihypertensive drug with an oral bioavailability of only 50% because of its poor absorption from lower gastrointestinal tract. The floating tablets of Atenolol were prepared to increase the gastri...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of formulation variables on the release properties, floating lag time, and hardness, when developing floating tablets of Ranitidine hydrochloride, by the statistical optimization technique. The formulations were prepared based on 3(2) factorial design, with polymer ratio (HPMC 100 KM: Xanthan gum) and the amount of aerosil, as two independe...

hypertension crisis is one of the main health problems and its effective treatment is of high importance. for this purpose, fast-disintegrating and sustained release formulations of captopril, as a drug of choice, were prepared using conventional mucoadhesive polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hpmc), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (na-cmc), hydroxypropyl cellulose (hpc), carbopol 934 (cp93...

A sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. In this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (EC), Eudragit RS100 (RS), and Eudragit S100 (S) were prepared by direct compression. The release behaviors were then studied in two co...

In this study,formulation of sustained-releasingmatrix tablet of bupropion 150 mg, using hydroxypropylmethylcellu lose(HPMC) 4000cps was evaluatedwith the aim of reducing the frequency of daily dose. The level of HPMC4000 ,polyvinylpyrolidone(PVP) and magnesium stearate(Mg St)was varied based on a 2level 3 factor factorial experimental designusing the release rate of the drug from the matrices ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sodium bicarbonate on the physicochemical properties of controlled release hot-melt extruded (HME) tablets containing Eudragit RS PO and/or Eudragit E PO. Acetohydroxamic acid and chlorpheniramine maleate were used as model drugs. Sodium bicarbonate was incorporated into the tablet formulations and the drug release properties and buo...

Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, primarily used for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and heart attack. It belongs to BCS class III having a half-life of 12 hrs and 25% bioavailability. The purpose of the present work was to develop a press-coated, floating-pulsatile drug delivery system. The core tablet was formulated using the super-disint...
