FORMULATION AND INVITRO EVALUATION OF ROFLUMILAST ORALLY DISINTEGRATING TABLET

Abstract

An Orally disintegrating tablet disperses readily in saliva and the drug is available in solution or suspension form for the immediate absorption and resulting in rapid onset of action. In the present research work Roflumilast Oral disintegrating tablet were prepared by Direct Compression Technique using varying concentrations of Croscarmellose Sodium, Crospovidone and Ludiflash as super disintegrants. The formulations prepared were evaluated for precompression & post compression parameters. Form the drug excipient compatibility studies we observe that there are no interactions between the pure drug (Roflumilast) and optimized formulation (Roflumilast+ excipients) which indicates there are no physical changes. Post compression parameters was found to be within the limits. Among the formulation prepared the tablet containing 2.5 mg concentration of Ludiflash shows 99.85±1.46% of the drug release within 30 min & follows first order kinetics. The overall result indicated that the formulation F12 containing Ludiflash is better and fulfilling of the needs of the Orally disintegrating tablet.
