Itraconazole is practically insoluble in water; large interindividual and intra-individual variations of its oral bioavailability are reported. The main purpose of this study was to prepare and evaluate itraconazole granules for immediate release as drug delivery formulations. As a part of formulation optimization, different concentrations of hydroxypropyl-methyl cellulose (HPMC) E5 were taken ...

Bilayer tablets of Metformin hydrochloride and Glipizide were formulated. Glipizide is a poor water soluble (BCS class 2) antidiabetic drug. The present study aims to increase the solubility of Glipizide by solid dispersion technique using sodium starch glycolate and crospovidone as super disintegrants. Metformin hydrochloride was formulated by using Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose as the matri...

The objective of this project was to improve the solubility poorly water soluble drugs, namely cefuroxime axetil by formulating solid dispersions with hydrophilic polymer. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used as polymeric carriers for preparation dispersion. Solid prepared solvent extraction method. Interaction effect HPMC, P...

The present study was carried out with an objective of preparation and in vitro evaluation of floating tablets of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) using ranitidine hydrochloride as a model drug. The floating tablets were based on effervescent approach using sodium bicarbonate a gas generating agent. The tablets were prepared by dry granulation method. The effec...

Controlled release (CR) Ciprofloxacin (CFX) matrix tablets were prepared using Ciprofloxacin betaine as a model drug and Kollidon SR as a core matrix former. Kollidon SR embedded CFX matrix tablets were then characterized with Carbopol 974P NF, Cetyl alcohol, Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC 4.5 cps). CFX release was 74% after 10 hours dissolution in 0.01 N HCl solution from the tablets con...
