The present work was carried out to study the disintegrant property of plantago ovata mucilage. The objective of the work was to formulate Fast disintegrating tablets of Domperidon with a view to enhance patient compliances and dissolution rate by direct compression method using 3² full factorial design. Plantago ovata mucilage (2-10% w/w) was used as natural superdisintegrant and microcrystalline cellulose (0-30% w/w) was used as diluent, along with directly compressible mannitol to enhance mouth feel. The tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, thickness, drug content uniformity, in vitro dispersion time, wetting time and water absorption ratio. Based on in vitro dispersion time (approximately 10s); the formulation containing 10% w/w Plantago ovata mucilage and 30%w/w microcrystalline cellulose was found to be promising and tested for in vitro drug release pattern (in 0.1 N HCl), short-term stability (at 40º/75% RH for 3 month) and drug-excipient interaction. Surface response plots are presented to graphically represent the effect of independent variables (concentrations of Plantago ovata mucilage and microcrystalline cellulose) on the in vitro dispersion time. The validity of the generated mathematical model was tested by preparing two extra-design check point formulations. The optimized tablet formulation was compared with conventional commercial tablet formulation for drug release profiles. This formulation showed nearly four-fold faster drug release (t50% 2.85 min) compared to the conventional commercial tablet formulation (t50% 7.85 min). Short-term stability studies on the formulation indicated that there are no significant changes in drug content and in vitro dispersion time (p < 0.05).Shahidulla et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, July 2015, 4(8): 415-419

Fast dissolving tablets are developed as an alternative to tablet, capsule and syrup for the paediatric and geriatric patient suffering from disease who feels difficulty in swallowing the oral solid dosage form. Carvedilol is practically insoluble in water, slightly soluble in an alcohol, practically insoluble in dilute acids. Carvedilol is a non-cardioselective beta blocker. It has vasodilating properties, which are attributed mainly to its blocking activity at alpha1 receptors; at higher doses calcium-channel blocking activity may contribute. Carvedilol competitively blocks receptors. The elimination half-life is about 6 to 10 hours. The main objective of this research work was to formulate and evaluate fast dissolving tablet of carvedilol using excipients like Croscarmellose sodium, Crospovidone, Microcrystalline Cellulose,   magnesium stearate, PVP etc.  Formulation of fast dissolving tablets of Carvedilol by direct compression method using different types of polymer in different percentages. The tablets with drug were also evaluated for uniformity of drug content, in-vitro drug release and stability studies. The drug content in the fast dissolving tablets was found to be uniform and with low correlation of variation. The tablets prepared with solid dispersion in combination with super disintegrate showed better release profile as compared to only incorporation of super disintegrates.  The tablets prepared by effervescent and pore forming technology provides satisfactory drug release. The release of drug followed first order kinetics and mechanism of drug release was found to be diffusion controlled. The stability data at different temperature and humidity showed no significant degradation of Carvedilol and shelf life found to be more than 520 days. Fast dissolving tablets prepared by the Ac – Di – Sol in 4% concentration are promising for rapid release of Carvedilol.  Incorporation of solid dispersion (PEG 4000 : CARVEDILOL) (4:1)  into Ac – Di – Sol in 2 % concentration enhanced the release rate of Carvedilol and thus therapeutic levels of the drug could be achieved through fast dissolving tablets. Tablets prepared by effervescent and pore forming technologies are also very promising for stable and rapid release of Carvedilol. Keywords: Carvedilol, FDDS, solid dispersion, tablets, Sodium, Crospovidone, Microcrystalline Cellulose,   magnesium stearate, PVP.

Fast dissolving oral delivery systems are solid dosage forms, which disintegrate or dissolve within 1 minute in the mouth without drinking water or chewing. Mouth dissolving film (MDF) is a better alternate to oral disintegrating tablets due to its novelty, ease of use and the consequent patient compliance. The purpose of this work was to develop mouth dissolving oral films of palonosetron HCl, an antiemetic drug especially used in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In the present work, the films were prepared by using solvent casting method with various polymers HPMC E3, E5 & E15 as a film base synthetic polymer, propylene glycol as a plasticizer and maltodextrin and other polymers. Films were found to be satisfactory when evaluated for thickness, in vitro drug release, folding endurance, drug content and disintegration time. The surface pH of all the films was found to be neutral. The in vitro drug release of optimized formulation F29 was found to be 99.55 ± 6.3 7% in 7 min. The optimized formulation F29 also showed satisfactory surface pH, drug content (99.38 ± 0.08 %), disintegration time of 8 seconds and good stability. FTIR data revealed that no interaction takes place between the drug and polymers used in the optimized formulation. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the films confirmed their potential as an innovative dosage form to improve delivery and quick onset of action of Palonosetron Hydrochloride. Therefore, the mouth dissolving film of palonosetron is potentially useful for the treatment of emesis disease where quick onset of action is desired, also improved patient compliance.
