IMPROVEMENT OF DISSOLUTION RATE OF POORLY SOLUBLE ALPRAZOLAM BY SOLID DISPERSION
AbstractDissolution rate enhancement of alprazolam, an anti-anxiety drug, was done by preparing solid dispersions by solvent evaporation method .Polyethylene glycol 6000 and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone k-30 were selected as carriers. Drug: Polymer ratios were taken as 1:1,1:2and1:4 for both the polymers for the preparation of solid dispersions. Tablets were prepared from solid dispersions and also from physical mixtures by direct compression. Dissolution rates and drug releases of solid dispersions or their tablets were found more than those of corresponding physical mixtures or their tablets.
