Nifedipine has a bioavailability of 45-56 percent and a 2-hour elimination half-life. It has a 50 percent kidney excretion rate and a 5-15 percent bile excretion rate. The intention of this research is to invent and evaluate Nifedipine loaded ODT and to prove the enhancement of bioavailability. The 23 factorial optimization design exposed about the outcome of independent variable on dependent variable throughout the formulation of Nifedipine ODT. From the records, it was accomplished that there was a good correlation between Disintegration time, Dissolution rate and super disintegration concentration. The formulation F4 (Nifedipine ODT) has achieve the goal of ODT drug delivery with desired release characteristics, cost-effective, decreased dose, effective administration and hence improved patient compliance. The invivo pharmacokinetic studies reveals that increase in AUC0-∞; decrease in Tmax; increase in Cmax in Nifedipine ODT shows better bioavailability and faster duration of therapeutic action than marketed Nifilat® dosage form. Nifedipine ODT was stable at various temperature, humidity conditions and there was no drastic change in evaluation parameters. That it was concluded that Oral dispersible tablet (ODT) was a suitable dosage form to enhance the solubility at the same time the bioavailability of BCS class II drugs like Nifedipine.
Orodispersible Tablets (ODT) is a novel tableting technology which is formulated, and it overcomes the difficulties of other multi compressed tablets. Telmisartan has a bioavailability of 42-100 percent and a 24-hour elimination half-life. It excretes the majority of drugs through the faeces, which accounts for 97 percent of total drug excretion. The objective of this research is to formulate and evaluate Telmisartan loaded ODT and to prove the enhancement of dissolution and bioavailability of Telmisartan. From the DSC studies, it was confirmed that Telmisartan and excipients used in the formulation are compatible to each other and suitable for the manufacturing process. Telmisartan loaded ODT was formulated by wet granulation technique and evaluated for powder characteristics and release characteristics. About 9 formulations were formulated in each ODT, and all the formulation obeys a good powder flow characteristic from the angle of repose, Carr’s index and Hausner’s ratio. All the experimental formulation batches have been subjected to various evaluations viz, average weight, friability, disintegration, thickness, hardness, dissolution, content uniformity. Among this nine Telmisartan ODT formulations (F1-F9), F7 possess an expected release pattern and disintegration time in a short time period (i.e., 101.8 ± 2.72 in 5th min and disintegration time at 5 seconds), which may fastens the absorption and bioavailability of Telmisartan. It was concluded that ODT was a suitable dosage form to enhance the solubility at the same time the bioavailability of BCS class II drugs like Telmisartan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
