DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND INVITRO EVALUATION OF BILAYER TABLETS OF LORATIDINE AND PHENYLEPHRINE
Sarvendra Singh Chauhan, Dr. Sachin Kumar
Abstract
The present study was carried out to develop the Bilayer tablets of Phenylephrine as sustained release
and Loratidine as immediate release component. Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic
receptor agonist of the phenethylamine class used primarily as a decongestant, as an agent to dilate the
pupil, and to increase blood pressure. Loratadine is a second-generation peripheral histamine H1-
receptor blocker used to treat allergies. In the present study the the bilayer tablets of Phenylephrine(SR)
and Loratidine(IR) was formulated and evaluated, percentage friability for all the formulations was
below1% indicating that the friability was within the range of standard specification. All the
formulations showed post-compression parameters i.e friability and drug content were within
acceptable official IP limits.Various sustained release formulations were formulated with super
disintegrants, polymer alone; and microcrystalline cellulose was used as diluents. The tablets were
evaluated for pharmacopoeial and non-pharmacopoeial (industry specified) tests. Based on the results,
F-8, F-4 were identified as better formulation amongst all formulations
