ABSTRACT
Recently, fast-dissolving drug delivery system have started gaining
popularity and acceptance as new drug delivery system, because they
are easy to administer and lead to better compliance. Usually, elderly
people experience difficulty in swallowing the tablet. Ibuprofen
inhibits prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in peripheral tissue. The aim of
this study was to formulate effervescent tablet with sufficient
mechanical integrity and to achieve faster disintegration in the water.
In preformulation study compatibility evaluation was performed which
implies that drug acids bases and other excipient are compalible with
each other different acid and base were based in combination to
prepare tablet. Tablets were also prepared using different binding agent
and evaluated for hardness, friability, solution time and pH of solution, effervescences. Tablet
prepared using higher ratio of NaHCO3 and citric acid and pvp-K30 2% as binder show short
solution time, higher pH and also has good hardness.
