DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF ITOPRIDE HYDROCHLORIDE FAST DISINTEGRATING TABLETS USING FACTORIAL DESIGN AND RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to use a full factorial design and response surface methodology to optimize and prepare fast disintegrating tablets of Itopride hydrochloride (ITOHCl). Tablets were prepared by direct compression technique and evaluated for their drug content, weight variation, hardness, friability, wetting, disintegration time, and _in-vitro_ release. In addition, the optimum formulation was evaluated for taste, ... Read more
