Preparation and Evaluation of Controlled Release Calcium Alginate Beads Containing Mefenamic Acid

Abstract: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of different variables on the release profile of mefenamic acid from calcium alginate beads formulated using modified emulsification method. Five formulations of beads (F1-F5) with different drug: polymer ratios were prepared in which the amount of drug (1g) was kept constant and the amount of calcium alginate was increased from 1 up to 5g. All the formulated beads were evaluated for percentage yield, entrapped efficiency and in vitro release prof… Show more

“…A homogenous dispersion of PRD was obtained by increasing the concentration of S. Alg to 1% (F 5) that can be dropped into CaCl2 solution, which resulted in high production yield of beads (99%) due to increase in the cross linking of S. Alg with calcium ion (17) . Good taste masking of PRD was obtained due to this cross-linking as more drug remained entrapped within the beads that resulted in decreased drug release at pH 6.8 (18) .…”
