ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the forming technology for Zuojin dropping pill.METHODS:The base material and cooling agent were optimized by orthogonal experiment with the type of base material,the ratio of drug to base material,the temperature of physic liquor,the type of the cooling agent as factors taking the mixing state,forming condition and dissolution time as indexes; the dripping condition was optimized with the temperature of the cooling agent,the caliber of the dripping mouth,the dripping distance and dripping speed as factors taking the variation coefficient of the pill weight difference as index. RESULTS:The optimal forming technology was as follows:with polyglycol 4000 as base and paraffin oil as cooling agent; the cooling temperature was 12 ℃;the caliber of the dripping mouth was 3.5/4.9 mm;the dripping distance was 10 cm and the dripping speed was 25 drop?min-1.CONCLUSION:The forming technology is stable,reproducible and the preparation was well-shaped,and the forming technology serves as a reference for the production of Zuojin dropping pill.
