Pages 769-777 | Published online: 20 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

Solutions of polythiazide in polyethylene glycol 400 were admixed with microcrystalline cellulose (RC-591) and silica. The resulting free-flowing powder was incorporated into tablet formulations by direct compression.

The dissolution rates of polythizizde frm these tablets were significantly more rapid than from commercially available tablets. The stability of these tablets at 40°0C and high humidity was studied. The powdered solution formulas were also compared with a polythiazide dispersion in polyethylene glycol 6000 which exhibited an equally superior dissolution profile.
