Abstract

The  present  work  is  aimed  to  formulate  Cefdinir  floating  tablets  using different  hydrophilic  and  hydrophobic  polymers  like  HPMC,  Ethyl  cellulose, Xanthum gum, guar gum and gas generating agent Sodium bicarbonate. The develop gastro retentive dosage form thatcould  retain  the  agent  namely  Cefdinir  in  the  stomach  for  longer periods of time delivering the drug to the site of action, i.e., stomach. HPMC  is  used  as  a  swelling  agent,  Guar  gum  and  Xanthum  gum  is used as binding agent. Ethyl cellulose is used as matrix form agent.  PVP is used as a suspending agent. Sodium bicarbonate is used as a gas forming agent. MCC is used as a disintergrant and diluent. Magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant. The  prepared  Cefdinir  tablets  will  be  evaluated  for  drug  content,  entrapment efficiency, post compression studies, In-vitro buoyancy studies, swelling index studies, in-vitro dissolution studies, release kinetics, stability studies.All these parameters were found to be within the pharmacopoeial limits. Formulation F5 was selected for drug release and stability study on the basis of appropriate results of post compression study.In vitro dissolution study was carried out and showed controlled release pattern.
