The objective of this study was to develop a sustained release matrix tablet Metoprolol Succinate by cost saving and production efficient process. Among various tablet manufacturing process, direct compression is the simplest and cost saving process. Different trials were formulated and evaluated using different concentrations of directly compressible grade Kollidon SR as release retardant. The...

megaloporous controlled release tablets of diclofenac sodium (ds) were prepared with two kinds of granules. one of them is the restraining-phase matrix granule (rmg) and it controls the release rate of the drug. the other one is the soluble housing-phase matrix granule (hmg) and controls liquid penetration into the system. carnauba wax and eudragit l 100 polymers were used to constitute the res...

6.1 Literature review matrix Taha E. et al (2015) evaluated Diclofenac Sodium (DS) matrix tablets prepared by direct compression method under different compression forces using ethyl cellulose as matrix forming material. The produced tablets were characterized for hardness, friability, drug content, weight variations and in vitro drug release. Incompatibility study carried out using DSC FT-IR s...

Object: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of various concentrations of natural and synthetic polymers on in vitro drug release from sustained release matrix tablets. Materials and method: HPMC K4M and acacia gum were used as synthetic (hydrophilic) and natural (hydrophobic) polymers respectively. Diclofenac sodium was used as a model drug to study the in vitro rel...

The objective of present work is to develop and characterize an oral sustained release matrix tablet of complexedNicardipine Hydrochloride by employing hydrophilic and hydrophilic polymers. Due to poor water solubility of the drug its bioavailability is dissolution rate limited. The purpose of the study was to increase the solubility of Nicardipine by cyclodextrin inclusion complex technique. C...

Hydrophilic matrices, especially HPMC based, are widely used to provide sustained delivery where drug release occurs mainly by diffusion. A 3(2) full factorial design was used to develop and evaluate HPMC matrix tablet for sustained delivery of diclofenac. The influences of polymer concentration/viscosity, diluent type/ratio, drug load/solubility, compression force and pH change on drug release...

controlled release swellable tablets of phenobarbital were prepared by a simple direct compression process using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hpmc) as the matrix former. the effects of the viscosity grades of hpmc and hpmc/lactose ratio and ethylcellulose (ec)/sodium carboxymethylcellulose (nacmc) and their concentrations on the release behavior of phenobarbital from hpmc matrices were invest...

the present investigation was aimed at developing a novel colon targeted system of lornoxicam based on the use of a combination of ph dependent system (to prevent the premature release of drug in the upper git) and enzymatically degradation system (to ensure the specificity of drug release in the colon). the drug loaded guar gum microspheres prepared by emulsification cross-linking method were ...

In the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. Sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in F1 (1:0.75), F2 (1:1), F3 (1:1.5),...
