Fast Disintegrating Tablets

Felodipine which is used in the present study is a dihydropyridine derivative, that is chemically described as ethyl methyl-4-(2, 3-dichlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, widely accepted for its excellent antihypertensive and anti-anginal properties since it is calcium antagonist compound (calcium channel blocker). Felodipine is practically insoluble in water and its dissolution rate is limited by its physicochemical properties. In the present study fast disintegrating tablets of felodipine were prepared by adopting vacuum drying technique to study the effect of different subliming agents with various concentrations on disintegrating time. The powder blend was examined for the pre-compressional parameters. The prepared formulations were evaluated for post-compressional analysis for the parameters like hardness, friability, thickness, wetting time, water absorption ratio, weight variation, in-vitro disintegration time, in- vitro dispersion time, in-vitro dissolution study. Drug compatibility with excipients was checked by FTIR studies. The results obtained showed that quantity of ammonium bicarbonate, urea and menthol significantly affect the response variables (P> 0.05). No chemical interaction between drug and excipients was confirmed by FTIR studies. Stability studies carried out as per ICH guidelines for three months and results revealed that upon storage disintegration time of tablets decreased significantly (P> 0.05). The results concluded that fast disintegrating tablets of felodipine showing enhanced dissolution rate with increasing the concentrations of subliming agents.
