Formulation and Evaluation of Controlled Release Floating Tablets of Cefixime Using Hydrophilic Polymers

Abstract: To prepare and evaluates controlled release floating tablets of Cefixime using hydrophilic polymers to increase the buoyancy time and release the drug in longer periods of time in the stomach. Nine batches (F1 to F9) formulation was prepared from active drug Cefixime trihydrate with different concentration of excipients; hydrophilic polymer polyvinyl alcohol, gas releasing excipients sodium bicarbonate and citric acid along with other excipients. All batches formulation was evaluated like in vitro buoyancy stu… Show more

“…Cefixime trihydrate is chemically known as 7-{[2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl) 2(carboxy methoxyimino) acetyl] amino}-3-ethenyl-8-oxo5thia1-azabicyclo oct-2-ene-2carboxylic acid [1]. As shown in Figure 1, CFX is a thirdgeneration of some antibiotics such as ceftriaxone and cefotaxime [2]. CFX is more stable when beta-lactamase enzymes buried, that produced by positive gram-negative bacteria [3] [4].…”
