subjectAbstract

Current state of art is witnessing a revolution in new techniques for drug delivery. Nevertheless, convenience of manufacturing and patient compliance has maintained their significant importance in the design of drug delivery systems. The primary aim of this development was to have a stable formulation of Antihypertensive drugs of the Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide immediate release Bilayer tablet, and to study the dissolution profile with the reference product. The Formulation development work was initiated with Wet granulation. Telmisartan is converted to its sodium salt by dissolving in aqueous solution of Sodium Hydroxide, in order to improve solubility and drug release. Lactose Monohydrate and Microcrystalline Cellulose are used as diluents. Starch paste is prepared in Purified Water and is used as the binder. Sodium Starch Glycolate is added as a disintegrating agent. Magnesium Stearate is used as the lubricant. The prepared granules are compressed into Double layer compression machine. The tablets thus formulated with higher proportion of sodium starch glycolate showed satisfactory physical parameters, and it was found to be stable and in-vitro release studies are shown that formulation (F-T5H5) was 101.11% and 99.89% respectively. And the formulation T5H5 is further selected and compared with the release profile of innovator product, it was found to be similar (f2 factor) to that of marketed product.
