Promethazine.HCl is a potent anti-emetic. The central antimuscarinic actions of antihistamines are probably responsible for their anti-emetic effects. Promethazine is also believed to inhibit the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone, and antagonize apomorphine -induced vomiting. Fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl were prepared using five superdisintegrants viz; sodium starch glycolate, crospovidone, croscarmellose, L-HPC and pregelatinised starch. The precompression blend was tested for angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The tablets were evaluated for weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration time (1 min), dissolution rate, content uniformity, and were found to be within standard limit. It was concluded that the fast dissolving tablets with proper hardness, rapidly disintegrating with enhanced dissolution can be made using selected superdisintegrants. Among the different formulations of Promethazine.HCl was prepared and studied and the formulation S2 containing crospovidone, mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose combination was found to be the fast dissolving formulation. In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Promethazine.HCl, by using different superdisintegrants with enhanced disintegration and dissolution rate.

Valdecoxib is a selective COX- II inhibitor with anti – inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. The poor aqueous solubility of the drug leads to variable dissolution rates. In the present study an attempt has been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib in the oral cavity with enhanced dissolution rate. The fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib was prepared with some carriers (polymers) and super disintegrants such as Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (SCMC), Crospovidone NF and β – Cyclodextrin. The above mentioned all carriers and superdisintegrants were taken in different proportions of 5, 10, and 15%. All the formulations of the fast dissolving tablets of Valdecoxib were prepared by direct compression technique. The blend was examined for Angle of repose, Bulk density, Compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The prepared tablets were evaluated for hardness, drug content uniformity, friability, disintegration time and dissolution rate. An effective pleasant testing formulation released 99.88% drug within 10 minutes. The prepared formulations drug release was found to be comparable with the marketed dispersible tablets. Keywords: Fast dissolving tablets, Super-disintegrants, Valdecoxib, Crosspovidone, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose.
