Chewable Tablets

In the modern era, chewable tablets are preferred over conventional dosage forms by pediatric, geriatric and bedridden patients due to difficulty in swallowing, lesser amount of water for swallowing medications as well as unable to tolerate the bitter taste of certain drugs. Chewable tablets of Desloratadine (DS) were formulated by aqueous and non-aqueous granulation method using water paste and Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a wetting agents respectively. Desloratadine is used to treat the symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, watery eyes. In the recent research, we have formulated eight trials by various concentrations of excipients. For instance; lactose, talcum, magnesium stearate, blue color, flavor, aspartame, mannitol, avicel 101 and polyvenylpyrollidine (PVP). Pre-compression and post compression parameters (thickness, hardness, friability weight variation and drug content) of the formulations were evaluated. B3 was our optimum dosage form because its Hausner’s ratio, compressibility index, bulk density, tap density, angle of repose have optimum values i.e. 1.01, 5.1%, 0.66(g/cc), 0.69(g/cc), 26.1º respectively and post-compression i.e. thickness, hardness, friability weight variation and drug content have values, 2.9mm, 3.9(kg/cm²), 0.6%, 99.5% respectively. Tablets prepared by wet granulation technique showed reasonable release profile i.e. 100% within the required time i.e. 2 hours.  Moreover, organoleptic evaluation of all formulations were performed.

The aim of this study was to improve the bioavailability by enhancing the solubility of efavirenz, a poor water soluble, anti-viral drug by using liquisolid technique. Different liquisolid formulations were prepared by using various non-volatile hydrophilic solvents. Microcystalline cellulose (Avicel PH 102) and Aerosil 200 were used as carrier and coating materials respectively. Additives such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl guar were incorporated into the formulations, to improve dissolution characteristics. The prepared liquisolid compacts were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content and in vitro dissolution studies. FT-IR studies were carried out to rule out the drug-excipient interactions. It was observed that there was no chemical interaction between the drug and excipients. DSC and X-ray diffraction studies were performed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the liquisolid tablets, which would enable us to confirm the conversion of the crystalline form of the drug to the amorphous form in the formulation. The dissolution profiles of the liquisolid tablets were compared with that of the directly compressed tablets. The results obtained showed the liquisolid tablets of efavirenz, to exhibit a higher percentage of drug release than the directly compressed tablets.

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.
