Formulation and Evaluation of Delayed Release Pellets of Ivabradine Hydrochloride
The aim of preset research work is to formulate and evaluate delayed release pellets of Ivabradine HCl. Pellets are prepared using extrusion-spheronization process and the process parameters are optimized. Polymer coating done with Kollicoat SR 30 D as rate controlling polymer and finally enteric coating done with Eudragit L30D-55. Drug release in formulation F1-F9 studied and it found that the low polymer concentration (2 %) was unable to retard the drug release up to 12 hr so concentration increased batch by batch and finally 12 % coating batch gives desired results which retard the drug release up to 12 hr. also found that the drug release was very low after more % coating than the 12 %. Hence based on that the F5 batch was optimized batch and its found stable during stability study of 1 month.Delayed release pellets of Ivabradine HCl was successfully prepared using Kollicoat SR 30 D as rate controlling polymer.
