Designing starch-based fenofibrate formulations using the melting method
Fenofibrate (FNF) is used to treat hyperlipidemia. However, FNF is a poorly water-soluble drug, and the dosage of commercial products is relatively high at 160 mg in a Lipidil® tablet. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an FNF-solid dispersion (SD) that solubilizes and stabilizes FNF. The…

Evaluation of binders in twin-screw wet granulation – Optimization of tabletability
Abstract
The influence of hydroxypropyl cellulose type (HPC-SSL SFP, HPC-SSL), concentration (2 %, 3.5 %, 5 %) and filler (lactose, calcium hydrogen phosphate (DCP)/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)) on twin-screw wet granulation and subsequent tableting was studied. The aim was to identify the…

Selection of lubricant type and concentration for orodispersible tablets
Abstract
Lubricants are essential for most tablet formulations as they assist powder flow, prevent adhesion to tableting tools and facilitate tablet ejection. Magnesium stearate (MgSt) is an effective lubricant but may compromise tablet strength and disintegratability. In the design of…
