Formulation and evaluation of controlled porosity oral osmotic pump tablets of furosemide
Abstract
Oedema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body which can cause severe pain. Furosemide has been shown to be effective and safe in patients with hypertension and/ or coronary heart disease. Osmotic pump tablets deliver the drug in an optimized manner to maintain drug concentration within the therapeutic window and minimize toxic effects. The major objective of the study was to prepare and evaluate oral controlled porosity osmotic pump tablets of furosemide, to reduce the dosing frequency and thereby side effects, and to release the drug for a prolonged period in a controlled manner that is independent of pH and hydrodynamic activity. Pre-formulation studies and pre-compression parameters of tablet blends of osmotic pump tablets of furosemide were carried out. Oral-controlled porosity osmotic pump tablets of furosemide were prepared and subjected to different evaluation tests. Precompression parameters indicated that granules have a good flow property. All the formulations showed good mechanical strength. All the nine formulations showed a drug release of more than 60% in the 12th hour. Optimised formulation showed a drug release of 99.21% in 12th hr. Stability studies conducted indicate that the product is stable.
