ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of the present study was to prepare the ondansetron hydrochloride Mouth Dissolving Tablets (MDTs) followed by its comparison with ethical and non-ethical (generic) marketed tablets. Methods: Prior to the formulation, drug excipient compatibility study was carried out by FTIR spectroscopy. The λmax was determined by UV spectroscopy. The ondansetron hydrochloride MDTs were prepared by direct compression method using Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG) as super disintegrant and camphor as a sublimating agent. Then the prepared MDTs were subjected to evaluation of post compression parameters such as thickness and diameter, weight variation, wetting time, hardness, friability, disintegration and dissolution. The results obtained were compared with that of ethical and non-ethical marketed ondansetron hydrochloride 4 mg tablets. Results: The λmax was found at 310 nm. FTIR study revealed that excipients used in the prepared formulations are compatible with the drug. The thickness and diameter was in the range of 2.646 to 3.27 mm and 6.0 to 8.12 mm, respectively. Friability was in the range of 0.43 to 0.88 % and had a slightly higher friability (1.27%) for sublimated tablets. Wetting time and disintegration time were in the range of 15 to 40 sec and 23 to 50 sec, respectively. The 100 % drug release was found within 180 sec for all the codes. These results were then compared with non-ethical film coated ondansetron marketed tablets. Conclusion: Ondansetron hydrochloride MDT 4 mg tablets prepared in the laboratory were under specified IP limits. The experimental findings demonstrated that any of these ethical and non-ethical tablets of ondansetron hydrochloride can be selected, advised by the physician or pharmacist, as per the patient’s need and economical status.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish a fast and efficient HPLC method for the chiral separation of ondansetron hydrochloride and determination of the enantiomic impurity of (-)ondansetron(R)hydrochloride.
ABSTRACT
Mouth dissolving drug delivery systems has number of advantage viz., faster onset of action, elegance, ease of administration, ease of manufacturing, ease of storage and transport. A novel attempt has been made to develop mouth dissolving tablets of Ondansetron hydrochloride by including clove oil as flavor and local anesthetic on taste buds. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. The formulated tablets were evaluated for Pre formulation and post formulation parameters and they were found to be saatisfactory. Direct compression method was employed for making mouth dissolving tablets. The formulated mouth dissolving tablets possessed good drug releasing property, good mouth feel and improved drug availability with better patient compliance.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the stability of Ondansetron hydrochloride glucose injection(OHGI).METHODS:The contents of Ondansetron hydrochloride and its related substances were determined with HPLC.The stability of the samples were tested by high-light exposure,accelerating experiment and room temperature storage.RESULTS:After exposure to high light,the content in OHGI slightly decreased but on other experiments,it was rather stable.CONCLUSION:This injection should be kept away from high light and may be stored for2years at room temperature.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the preparation process and quality standard of ondansetron hydrochloride dispersible tablets METHODS:The content of ondansetron in the dispersible tablets was determined by UV-spectrophotometry RESULTS:The linear range was 4 0～16 5?g/ml,the average recovery was 99 97% with RSD of 0 35% CONCLUSION:The preparation process of ondansetron hydrochloride dispersible tablets is simple and the quality of dispersible tablets is controllable
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatible stability of ondansetron hydrochloride injection and carboplatin for injection.METHODS:The content of the mixture of ondansetron hydrochloride injection and carboplatin for injection was determined within8hours at a room termperature by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotography;its outward appearance was ob?served and the pH value of the mixture was determined.RESULTS:The appearance and pH value of the mixture had no distinct change.CONCLUSION:The mixture of ondansetron hydrochloride injection and carboplatin for injection was stable within8hours after interaction.
