Optimization on Preparation Techniques of Wuji Gastric Floating Sustained-release Tablets by Multicomponent Indicator / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to screen out an optimal pharmaceutical formulation of Wuji Gastric Floating Sus-tained-release Tablets. With multicomponents of release for index, the extra-floating ability of the tablets was stud-ied with the orthogonal test of four excipients, which were HPMC (K100M), PEG 6000, sodium bicarbonate and se-tanol. The results showed that the combined optimal pharmaceutical formulation was 35% HPMC, 5% PEG 6000, 10% sodium bicarbonate, 15% setanol, 10% MCC and 25% main drug. It was concluded that Wuji Gastric Floating Sustained-release Tablets had the characteristics of slow-release and long floating duration which comply with re-quirements of formulation design. This preparation technique is with good maneuverability.
