Excipients: tablets Flashcards
group 1 vs group 2 excpients for tablet preparation
- Group 1
- helps w/ processing and compression characteristics
- diluants, binders, glidants and lubricants
- Group 2
- help give disirable physical character to finished tab
- disintegrants, surfactants, flours, flavours, swetening agents, polymers
- help give disirable physical character to finished tab
what is the purpose of diluent
increase bulk of tablet
lactose
filler/diluent
-anhydrous: spray dried for direct compression
Monohydrate: for wet granulation
microcrystalline cellulose
dilutent, disintegrant, binder
used in direct compression if particles are 100 um, and in granulations if particules are 50 um
Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate
diluent
Excellent flow properties, brittle material
Calcium carbonate Sodium carbonate
diluent
brittle
Starch
diluent, binder or disintegrant
Dextrose, Sucrose, Mannitol, Sorbitol
filler and sweetener used in effervescent and chewable tablets
what is the most common binder
starch mucilage
*Solution binders: added as the granulation fluid, more effective and most common
what are common solution binders
starch mucilage
polyvinylpyrrolidone
gelatin
cellulose derivates (methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)
what are dry binders for for tablet making
*added before wet granulation
Microcrystalline cellulose (used as binder and diluent)
polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
pregelatinized starch
starch mucilage
solution binder
sucore solution
solution binder
*prob also sweetener
Polyvinylpyrrolidone
solution and dry binder
gelatin
solution binder
used to make shell (hard and sfot gel)
Microcrystalline cellulose
dry binder
diluent
disintegrant
sorbent
starch glyolate
disintegrant
swells on contact with water (super disintegrant)
Croscarmellose sodium
disintegrant
swells on contact w/ water (super disintegrant)
Crospovidone
super disintegrants
swells on contact w/ water
Organic acid (citric acid + tartaric ) + sodium bicarbonate
used in effervesent tabs (disintegrant)
1 : 2 : 3.4
iron oxide
colouring agent
indigo carmine
colouring agent
sodium lauryl sulfate
wetting/solbilubilizing agent
also processing agent for capsules: makes gelatin uniformly cover mold
soluble lubricant
magnesium stearate
insoluble lubricant
also antiadherant for capsule manufacture
calcium stearate
insoluble lubricant
stearic acid
insoluble lubricant
light mineral oil
insoluble lubricant
sodium benzoate
soluble lubricant
PEG 4000 and 6000
soluble lubricant
colloidal silicon doixide
glidant
*helps flow by dec interparticle friction
silicon doxide
viscoity enhancer
*used in rectal doseage forms
