MUPS (Multiple Unit Pellets System): The oral route of drug administration is the most important and most user-friendly route of administration. In recent years, Multiple Unit Pellet Systems (MUPS) tablets are widely used in solid dosage form design. MUPS is considered to provide pharmacokinetic advantages compared to monolithic dosage forms. Typically, modified release pellets are contained in MUPS tablets. Modified release drug delivery systems have acquired very important role in pharmaceutical research and development.1 1.1Advantages of Compaction of MUPS over Conventional Modified-Release Tablets and/or Pellet-Filled Capsules and Tablets. The compression of multiparticulates into tablets, unlike the hard gelatin capsule, is a tamper-proof dosage form and has greater physicochemical and   microbiological stability of pellets as they are embedment in the inert matrix. Tablets have less difficulty in esophageal transport than capsules. Tablets containing coated subunits can be prepared at a lower cost than these subunits filled into hard gelatin capsules because of higher production rate of the tablet press. The expensive control of capsule integrity after filling is also eliminated. In addition, tablets containing multiparticulates without losing the controlled-release properties could be scored, which allow a more flexible dosage regimen.

The oral route of drug administration is the most important and most user-friendly route of administration. In recent years, Multiple Unit Pellet Systems (MUPS) tablets are widely used in solid dosage form design. MUPS is considered to provide pharmacokinetic advantages compared to monolithic dosage forms. Combination of drug substances and release profiles can be provided by formulating the MUPS tablets with different pellet qualities or combining pellets with drugs in powder or granulated form. MUPS tablet contains several hundred of coated pellets of active pharmaceutical ingredients which delivered the drug at predetermined rate and absorption to provide constant blood profile. MUPS are easily administered as disintegratable tablet which disperse into their subunits across the stomach and the small intestine, leading to predictable oral transition and constant bioavailability.

In this work, modified-release solid dosage forms were fabricated by adjusting geometrical properties of solid dosage forms through hot-melt 3D extrusion (3D HME). Using a 3D printer with air pressure driving HME system, solid dosage forms containing ibuprofen (IBF), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were printed by simultaneous HME and 3D deposition. Printed solid dosage forms were evaluated for their physicochemical properties, dissolution rates, and floatable behavior. Results revealed that IBF content in the solid dosage form could be individualized by adjusting the volume of solid dosage form. IBF was dispersed as amorphous state with enhanced solubility and dissolution rate in a polymer solid dosage form matrix. Due to absence of a disintegrant, sustained release of IBF from printed solid dosage forms was observed in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8. The dissolution rate of IBF was dependent on geometric properties of the solid dosage form. The dissolution rate of IBF could be modified by merging two different geometries into one solid dosage form. In this study, the 3D HME process showed high reproducibility and accuracy for preparing dosage forms. API dosage and release profile were found to be customizable by modifying or combining 3D modeling.

Liquid Dosage Form

Development and modification of Ayurvedic classical formulations into widely acceptable dosage forms is an important area to be focused in the present era. The designing of liquid dosage form has generally been emphasized on the basis of ease of administration to those individuals who have difficulty in swallowing solid dosage forms, specially in pediatric and geriatric group. Churna (powders) are the preferentially administered Ayurvedic formulations by oral route. Most of these powders are hygroscopic, bitter to taste and should be administered with suitable vehicle. Avipattikara Churna is one of the unique formulation widely practiced in the management of common ailments like Amlapitta (hyperacidity), Vibandha (constipation), Agnimandya (loss of appetite), Arsha (hemorrhoids). Modification of the classical Churna (solid dosage form) into a more acceptable and convenient syrup (liquid dosage form) with modern pharmaceutical methods and its physico-chemical analysis is the main aim of the study. In the present study Avipattikara syrup was developed with 66.7 % w/V of Khandasharkara (sugar candy powder) without any pharmaceutical additives. Physicochemical analysis, microbial limit test, and physical quality tests for Avipattikara Churna and syrup were carried out respectively. Results suggest that, the developed syrup had a quality of ideal syrup.

Fast dissolving tablets is one of the most widely accepted dosage forms and also most popular dosage form, especially for pediatric patients because of incomplete development of the muscular and nervous system and a case of geriatric patients suffering from Parkinson’s disorder or hand tremors. Some solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules are present days facing the problems like difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia), resulting in many incidences of non-compliance and making the therapy ineffective. Oral dosage form and oral route are the most preferred route of administration for various drugs have limitations like the first-pass metabolism. Fast dissolving tablets are one of them. FDT have benefits such as accurate dosing, easy portability and manufacturing, good physical and chemical stability and an ideal alternative for pediatric and geriatric patients. Some tablets are designed to dissolve fastly in saliva, within a few seconds, and are true fast-dissolving tablets. Others contain agents to enhance the rate of tablet disintegration in the oral cavity and are more appropriately termed fast-disintegrating tablets, as they may take up to a minute to completely disintegrate.
