The objective of the study was to enhance the solubility of carvedilol phosphate and to formulate it into non-effervescent floating tablets using swellable polymers. Solid dispersions (SD) of carvedilol were prepared with hydrophilic carriers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and poloxamer to enhance solubility. Non-effervescent floating tablets were prepared with a combination of optimized solid dispersions and release retarding polymers/swellable polymers such as xanthan gum and polyethylene oxide. Tablets were evaluated for physicochemical properties such as hardness, thickness and buoyancy. SD prepared with the drug to poloxamer ratio of 1:4 by melt granulation showed a higher dissolution rate than all other dispersions. Formulations containing 40 mg of polyethylene oxide (C-P40) and 50 mg xanthan gum (C-X50) were found to be best, with the drug retardation up to 12 hours. Optimized formulations were characterized using FTIR and DSC and no drug and excipient interactions were detected.

This research aimed to develop non-effervescent floating mini-caplets of Ferrous Ascorbate (FA) using low-density polymers to overcome the problems of poor bioavailability associated with immediate-release iron products. Methods: The excipients and method (melt granulation) were selected based on pre-and post-compression parameters in trial batches. The formulation was optimized by a full factorial 3 experimental design.

SD (solid dispersion) technology is one of the well-recognized solubility enhancement methods; but the use of versatile carriers in ASD (amorphous SD) to achieve the added advantage of modified release along with solubility improvement is an emerging area of exploration. Spray drying is a widely used technology with excellent scalability and product attributes. The SD carriers explored were Soluplus, possessing excellent solubilization properties that may enhance bioavailability and is suitable for innovative processing, and Gelucire 43/01, a lipid polymer utilized in a non-effervescent-based floating gastro-retentive DDS for the modified release of API.

In the present study, novel gastroretentive bilayer tablets were developed that are promising for the once-a-day oral delivery of the drug candidate MT-1207. The gastroretentive layer consisted of a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers, namely polyethylene oxide and Kollidon SR. A factorial experiment was conducted, and the results revealed a non-effervescent gastroretentive layer that, unlike most gastroretentive layers reported in the literature, was easy to prepare, and provided immediate tablet buoyancy (mean floating lag time of 1.

A sustained-release non-effervescent floating matrix tablet was prepared using a simple and efficient direct compression of spray-dried granules containing metformin hydrochloride and cetyl alcohol with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K15M (HPMC K15M). The design of experiments was employed to explore the optimal composition of the tablet. The similarity factor was employed to evaluate the equivalence in dissolution profiles between the test tablets and Glucophage XR as a reference.

The main purpose of the study was to develop valsartan floating tablets (VFT) via non-effervescent technique using low density polypropylene foam powder, carbopol, and xanthan gum by direct compression. Before compression, the particulate powdered mixture was evaluated for pre-compression parameters. The prepared valsartan tablets were evaluated for post-compression parameters, swelling index, floating lag time, in vitro buoyancy studies, and in vitro and in vivo X-ray imaging studies in albino rabbits.
