The aim of the work was to develop Theophylline hydrochloride sustain release tablet using Methocel k 15 MCR, Methocel K100M CR premium and Methocel K4M CR premium in blending and granulation stage of processing and evaluate their physico-chemical properties and also compared the dissolution profile with the marketed drugs.Tablets were prepared by wet granulation method. The active ingredient, ...

In present study an attempt was made to formulate and to evaluate the sustain release Carvedilol matrix tablets by using METHOCEL K100LV CR, METHOCEL K100M CR and Xanthum Gum polymer. The tablets were prepared by direct compression method. The granules were evaluated by angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density and compressibility index, surface P. The formulated tablets were evaluated by w...

the purpose of this work was to develop once daily sustained release (sr) matrix tablets of naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent. the tablets were prepared by wet granulation method along with hydrophilic matrix materials like methocel k 15m cr and methocel k 100m cr. the granules were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content. the table...

The objective of this study is to design and evaluate sustained release tablets of Carbamazepine (CZP).The effects of various viscosity grades of Methocel(Methocel K4M, Methocel K100M and combination of both) on the release of Carbamazepine have been evaluated. Tablets were evaluated for physical and chemical parameters such as Hardness, Friability, Thickness, Weight variation, Drug content uni...

The aim of this study was to prepare novel ocular mucoadhesive microspheres of Moxifloxacin HCl to increase its residence time on the ocular surface and to enhance its therapeutic efficacy in ocular bacterial keratitis. Microspheres were fabricated with different grades of Methocel and Sodium CMC as polymers. Microspheres were evaluated for their particle size, morphology, encapsulation efficie...

The paper evaluates and compares the compressibility and compactibility of directly compressible tableting materials for the preparation of hydrophilic gel matrix tablets containing tramadol hydrochloride and the coprocessed dry binders Prosolv® SMCC 90 and Disintequik™ MCC 25. The selected types of hypromellose are Methocel™ Premium K4M and Methocel™ Premium K100M in 30 and 50 % concentrations...

The purpose of this research was to formulate and characterize solid dispersion (SD) of metformin hydrochloride using methocel K100M as the carrier by the solvent evaporation and cogrinding method. The influence of drug polymer ratio on drug release was studied by dissolution tests. Characterization was performed by fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet, differential scanning calor...

The purpose of the present investigation was to design and evaluate sustained release tablets of a poorly water soluble drug nifedipine, employing hydrophilic polymers Methocel K15M CR and Methocel K100LV CR and to select the best formulation based on pharmacokinetic studies. Direct compression method was used to prepare matrix tablets. The granules were evaluated for angle of repose, loose bul...

Trimetazidine dihydrochloride, a cellular antiischemic agent indicated in the management and prophylaxis of angina pectoris is given as 20 mg thrice daily in the conventional dosage regimen. The purpose of the present study was to formulate and evaluate twice a day extended release tablets containing 30 mg trimetazidine dihydrochloride. The method developed to formulate these extended release t...
