DEVELOPMENT & CHARACTERIZATION OF MOUTH DISSOLVING TABLET OF VOGLIBOSE
AbstractThe study was aimed at development of voglibose mouth dissolving tablets which can disintegrate or dissolve rapidly once place in the oral cavity. Voglibose is alpha glycosidase inhibitor, drug which is used in a treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The tablets were prepared with different super disintegrant like crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate and lactose at different concentrations. The blend was evaluated for angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, carr’s index, Hausner’s ratio and IR studies. The tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, content uniformity test, disintegration test, wetting time. The most satisfactory formulation F6 showed minimum disintegration time of 31 sec and release maximum amount of drug in shortest duration of time in 10 min. it was found to be stable during short term stability studies. Compatibility studies confirmed the absence of any interaction between Voglibose and the selected excipients. The optimized formulation exhibited excellent disintegration time and dissolution profile, meeting the pharmacopoeia requirements for MDTs. Furthermore, sensory evaluation revealed improved palatability compared to conventional tablets. Thus, the developed MDT of Voglibose offers a promising alternative for enhancing patient compliance and convenience in the management of diabetes mellitus.
