Desired properties of pharmaceutical grade IERs-
a) Fine, free flowing powders
b) Particle size of 25 - 150 microns
c) Contain functional group that capable of exchanging ions and/or ionic groups
d) Insoluble in all solvents, all pH’s
e) Not absorbed by body
f) Do not have a defined molecular weight
Advantages of Ion Exchange Resin as a Taste Masking Agent in Orodispersible Tablet-
1. These method requires few and simple equipment.
2. The numbers of excipients required are less and are easily available.
3. The Bioavailability of drug is not altered.
4. The resins are easy to process and has high margin of safety.
5. The manufacturing can be carried out at room temperature and no other special experimental conditions are required
6. It has low cost of manufacturing. (23)
TASTE MASKED ORODISPERSIBLE TABLETS HAVING IERs AS A TASTE MASKING AGENT-
1. FORMULATION OF TASTE MASKED ORO-DISPERSIBLE TABLETS OF METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE-(27)
INTRODUCTION-
METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE is an oral biguinide agent, used in the management of non-insulin dependent (type-2) diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this article is to mask the taste of drug by complexation with indion-234 which is an IER & formulation of oro-dispersible tablet.
PREPARATION OF RESINATE-
Resinate was prepared using batch method. An accurately weighed amount of resin (100mg) was placed in a beaker containing 50 ml of demonized water. Accurately weighed100 mg of metformin hydrochloride was added to the resin solution and stirred for 180 min. The mixture was filtered through whatman filter paper and residue was washed with 50 ml of deionised water to remove any uncomplexed drug. Unbound drug in filtrate was estimated at 233.5 nm and drug-loading efficiency was calculated.
FORMULATION DESIGN-
EVALUATION OF TABLETS-
EVALUATION OF PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TABLETS (BATCH B-1-B-8)-
After evaluation Batch B-5 with 5% sodium starch glycolate and starlac and Batch B-8 with 5% sodium starch glycolate and avicel PH 101 was found to be optimum batch as it shows lowest disintegration time with desired friability values.
