The main goal of this study was to develop a stable formulation of antihypertensive drugs telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide as an immediate-release bilayer tablet and to evaluate the dissolution profile in comparison with a reference product. The formulation development work was initiated with wet granulation. Telmisartan was converted to its sodium salt by dissolving in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to improve solubility and drug release. Lactose monohydrate and microcrystalline cellulose were used as diluents. Starch paste is prepared in purified water and was used as the binder. Sodium starch glycolate is added as a disintegrating agent. Magnesium stearate was used as the lubricant. The prepared granules were compressed into a double-layer compression machine. The tablets thus formulated with higher proportion of sodium starch glycolate showed satisfactory physical parameters, and it was found to be stable and in vitro release studies are showed that formulation (F-T5H5) was 101.11% and 99.89% respectively. The formulation T5H5 is further selected and compared with the release profile of the innovator product, and was found to be similar (f2 factor) to that of the marketed product. The results suggest the feasibility of developing bilayer tablets consisting of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide for the convenience of patients with hypertension.

Formulation development is an important part of drug design and development. Bioavailability and bioequivalence are totally dependent on formulation development. Now-a-days formulation development is done by following QbD (Quality by Design).The aim of present study is to formulate Gemfibrozil (Gem) sustained release (SR) and immediate release (IR) bilayer tablet by different concentration of Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and HPMC K 100 M to control the release pattern. The sustained release layer of Gem was prepared by using different grades of HPMC like, HPMC K-15, HPMC K-4 along with other excipients by direct compression technique. The immediate release layer of Gem was prepared by Cross carmellose sodium, Crospovidone and Sodium starch glycolate by direct compression technique. The powders were evaluated for their flow properties and the finished tablets were evaluated for their physical parameters. The both immediate release and sustained release layers of Gem were characterized by FT-IR and in vitro dissolution studies. The drug release study of Gem was evaluated using USP-II paddle type dissolution apparatus. The release rate of Gem in immediate release layer was studied for 15 min in 0.1 N HCL media and that of Gem in sustained release layer was studied for 12 h in 0.1 N HCL. From the nine batches F6 batch showed good release behaviour 99.85% of drug is released over 12 hours. Gem belongs to BCS Class II (log P 3.6) with poor solubility and high permeability resulting in limited and variable bioavailability. Total four trial batches of each drug have been manufactured to optimize and develop a robust and stable formulation, the stability studies of the products also comply with ICH guideline. Keywords: Bilayer floating tablets, Gemfibrozil, Biphasic drug release, HPMC K 15.

In the Study of Formulation of Bilayer Tablet of Flurbiprofen the Following Materials Using sodium starch glycolate as immediate release and HPMC K15 in different ratios as release retardant materials using a wet granulation method. All tablets exhibited good physical properties with Respect to appearance, content uniformity, hardness, weight variation and Invitro dissolution data show at increasing proportions Of sodium starch glycolate for immediate release whereas HPMC K15sustaineddrugreleaserate. The bilayer tablets showed an initial release of drug In about1hr, then sustaining the release for 12h, The kinetic analysis of dissolution data showed that release was observe din these tablets. When data was fitted to the Higuchi model. Bilayer tablets of flurbiprofen can be successfully formulated Using sodium starch glycolate and HPMC K15 in different ratios as release retardant materials employing a wet granulation method.

Abstract Bilayer and multi-layer tablets are enjoying growing popularity among original drug and generic product manufacturers. Multi-layer tablets have many key benefits compared to classic immediate-release tablets. The use of such solid oral dosage forms simplifies dosing regimens in combination therapy, and thus improves patient compliance. However, the technology of multilayer tablets is demanding and requires precise choice of excipients and production parameters with regard to each technological step. The main benefits of multi-layer tablets, certain aspects of their production and the challenges encountered during the compression process are reviewed in this paper.

The present work involves the formulation development, optimization and In-vitro evaluation of bilayer tablet containing Lansoprazole in the immediate release layer and Amoxycillin in the sustained release layer, using sodium starch glycolate as a super disintegrant for the immediate release layer and the hydrophilic matrix HPMC K100M, hydrophobic matrix Ethyl cellulose are used in the sustained release layer. Bilayer tablet showed as initial burst effect to provide dose of immediate release layer Lansoprazole to control the acid secretion level and the sustained release of Amoxycillin for 24 hours. Immediate and sustained release tablets were formulated by wet granulation method because of the poor flow property of the blends. The prepared bilayer tablet was evaluated for their precompression parameters, physical characteristics like hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, uniformity of drug content, swelling index, In-vitro floating studies and In-vitro drug release. The release of the lansoprazole from the immediate release layer was found to be 97.46 ± 0.15% in 15minutes. The release of Amoxycillin Trihydrate for the sustained release floating layer was found to be 98.25 ± 0.14% in 12 hours. Lansoprazole potentiate the effect of Amoxycillin. Hence the bilayer tablets of Lansoprazole and Amoxycillin were used to improve patient compliance towards the effective management of ulcer. Keywords: bilayer tablet, Lansoprazole, and Amoxycillin, sustained release

The present research work was carried out to Formulate and evaluation of bilayer tablet dosage form for the treatment of Hypertension.The objective of this study to compare the specific characteristics of Metoprolol [beta selective (cardio selective) adrenoreceptor blocking agent] and Hydrochlorothiazide (Thiazide Diuretics]) in order to design stable formulation. It can be concluded that bilayer tablet were successfully formulated to achieve immediate release of Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)  and tailored release of Metoprolol (MPL)by using Dual Release Drug Absorption System(DUREDAS technology).Both drugs were found to be stable in Bilayer tablet formulation and were found to be stable for few months. This bilayer tablet dosage form increases the stability which may reduce loss and cost of formulation. It improves the benefits of producer, retailer, and patients. Recently, greater attention has been focused on development of bilayer tablet formulations. Over the past 30 years, the expenses and complications involved in marketing new drug entities have increased with concomitant recognition of therapeutic advantages of conventional drug delivery system. Several pharmaceutical companies are currently developing bi-layer tablets, for a variety of reasons: patent extension, efficient pharmacological effect, better patient compliance, etc. Bilayer tablet is becoming new approach for the successful drug delivery system and for better stability in combination. Bilayer tablets can be primary option to avoid chemical incompatibilities between APIs by physical separation.
