Optimization of the Preformulation and Formulation Parameters in the Development of New Extended-Release Tablets Containing Felodipine

Herein, new extended-release tablets containing felodipine were developed. For the orally administered formulations, optimization of the preformulation and formulation parameters was performed to assess the performance of the dosage form. Initially, the morphological and physical characterization of...

description Herein, new extended-release tablets containing felodipine were developed. For the orally administered formulations, optimization of the preformulation and formulation parameters was performed to assess the performance of the dosage form. Initially, the morphological and physical characterization of two forms of felodipine (microcrystalline and macrocrystalline) using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy was performed. The pharmaco-technical properties of the two felodipine forms were also determined. Subsequently, formulation studies for felodipine extended-release tablets were performed. Mathematical modelling of release kinetics of felodipine from developed formulations using a power law model was also performed. Based on the influence of formulation factors on the in vitro availability of felodipine in experimental tablets, a new extended-release tablet formulation was established.
