Design and Optimization of Lornoxicam Dispersible Tablets Using Quality by Design (QbD) Approach
The present study aims to design and optimize the lornoxicam dispersible tablet (LXDT) formulation using the Quality by design (QbD) approach. A randomized Box–Behnken experimental design was used to characterize the effect of the critical factors, such as filler (MCC/Mannitol) ratio, mixing time,…

Comparison of Various Fillers on the Physical Properties of Compounded Tablets
Abstract
Compounded tablets are solid dosage forms that contain active pharmaceutical ingredients that are usually formulated with suitable pharmaceutical excipients. Fillers are inert ingredients used as bulking agents that can affect the physical properties of the final compounded tablet. The…
