FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF VORICONAZOLE SUSTAINED RELEASE TABLETS
A. Vipul Kumar Reddy* and Dr. A. Yasodha
ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to develop sustained release formulation of Voriconazole to maintain constant therapeutic levels of the drug for over 12 hrs. HPMC-E15, Carbopol 934, Eudragit, Sodium Alginate were employed as polymers. All the formulations were passed various physicochemical evaluation parameters and they were found to be within limits. Whereas from the dissolution studies it was evident that the formulation (F11) showed better and desired drug release pattern i.e., 99.98% in 12 hours. It contains the Eudragit 1:3 as sustained release material. It followed Peppas release kinetics mechanism.
Keywords: Voriconazole, HPMC-E15, Carbopol 934, Eudragit, Sodium Alginate, Sustained release system.
