Abstract

Objective: The present investigation was undertaken with an objective of analyzing the influence of excipientsʼ amount on the technological parameters of metformin orodispersible tablets using the method of random balance.

Methods: The tablets were prepared by using direct compression method. The formulations were designed according to the method of random balance. The technological parameters of metformin orodispersible tablets have been studied as a function of quantitative factors: crospovidone (Polyplasdone XL-10^®), magnesium aluminometasilicate (Neusilin US2^®), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC Sanaq^®burst), lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate (Tablube^®MgSt micronized vegetable) and talc.

Results: The flowability results were ranging from excellent to good according to the quantities of Neusilin US2^® and Polyplasdone XL-10^® crospovidone, which used. Results of bulk density and tapped density of the powder mixtures for pressing depended from the quantities of Neusilin US2^® and talc. The obtained tablets had uniform weight from 0.93 to 2.30 %. The increase in the amount of Polyplasdone XL-10^® crospovidone and the decrease in the amount of talk improved the uniformity of tablets’ weights. All of the prepared tablets showed acceptable hardness and friability which were improved with decrease in the amount of MCC Sanaq^®burst and increase in the amount of Neusilin US2^®. The rapid disintegration and wetting time for all formulations of tablets were obtained by using the Polyplasdone XL-10^® crospovidone and MCC Sanaq^®burst.

Conclusion: Oral disintegrating tablets of metformin were successfully prepared by direct compression method. The random balance method enabled us to identify the most significant quantitative factors and stabilize them at optimal values.
