Abstract
The influence on drug release of cyclodextrin incorporation into theophylline polymeric matrix tablets based on hydrophilic Eudragit® polymers has been investigated. Eudragit® RLPO and RSPO types, both insoluble but dispersible in water, were used to prepare tablets by direct compression. The drug was mixed with the polymer, alone or as coevaporated product with cyclodextrin. Both natural (β- and γ-) and hydrophilic derivative (hydroxypropyl, hydroxyethyl and methyl-β- and hydroxypropyl-γ-) cyclodextrins were tested, to evaluate the role of the cyclodextrin type. All tablets were coated with Eudragit®, a pH dependent polymer, to obtain gastro-resistance.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
