Jj. Torradosantiago,"torrado et R. Cadorniga, EFFECT OF DIFFERENT EXCIPIENTS ON RELEASE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACETYLSALICYLIC-ACID FROM COMPRESSED PELLETS, Die Pharmazie, 50(7), 1995, pp. 476-478
The release of actylsalicylic acid matrix tablets prepared from pellet
s is studied with different hydrophilic excipients (microcrystalline c
ellulose (MCC, Avicel(R) PH 101) wheat starch and dextrose monohydrate
) at different proportions. The release process is zero-order or first
-order. Dissolution efficiency varied between 23 and 75% in 8 h. MCC i
s the excipient with a higher compression protecting effect on the pel
lets during tablet compaction. In vitro drug release depends on the MC
C content of the tablets.
