Cimetidine is an odourless white to off-white powder, which is sparingly soluble in water. Each Magicul tablet contains 200 mg, 400 mg or 800 mg of cimetidine. The tablets also contain maize starch, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycollate (Type A), magnesium stearate, Opadry Green OY8830 (ARTG no. 1538) for 200 mg and 800 mg tablets, and Opadry White Y-1-7000 E171 (ARTG n...

Polysaccharide mucilage derived from the seeds of Ocimum basilicum L. (family Lamiaceae) was investigated for use in matrix formulations containing propranolol hydrochloride. Basil mucilage was extracted and several tablets were formulated. The effect of mucilage on drug release rate was evaluated in comparison with tablets containing two kinds of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC K4M and HPM...

In present study, the fast dissolving tablets of Amoxicillin Trihydrate were prepared by direct compression technique using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as direct compressible diluents. Sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and croscarmillose sodium (CCS) used as synthetic superdisintegrants. The swelling indices of the superdisintegrants were also compared. Among both the superdisintegrants, crosc...

Strict measure on the need to control microbial contamination in the formulation of solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules are not usually in place as is done in other pharmaceutical preparations. The presence of microorganisms in some common excipients such as starch and lactose powders, and distilled water used in tablet formulation was investigated in this study. Organisms isolated ...

The purpose of the present research was to study the effects of Ceolus KG-802 on the dissolution behavior of fenofibrate liquisolid tablets. The fenofibrate liquisolid tablets were formulated using the mathematical model described by Spireas et al. In the present research, Ceolus KG-802, a different form of microcrystalline cellulose (PH 102 grade), was used as a carrier material. The developed...

objective(s): the aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. materials and methods:matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and ph-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty hpmc capsule. to asses...

Various solvents can be used in the synthesis of the illicit synthetic drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy). In the crystallization process, traces of those solvents can be trapped inside crystals; during the following tabletting process, the solvent traces remain present in the tablets. The forensic investigation of tablets for solvents may increase knowledge of...

In this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based Carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol HCl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. For this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol HCl along with various amounts of Carbopols 934 (C934), 971 (C971), 974 (C974) and Pemulen (Pem) were prepared using the wet gr...
