Abstract

With the use of several hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers such HPMC, Ethyl cellulose, Xanthum gum, and guar gum as well as the gas-producing substance Sodium bicarbonate, the current work aims to create Cefepime floating tablets. The creation of a gastro-retentive dosage form allowed scientists to deliver the medication to the stomach, the site of action for Cefepime, for extended periods of time. Guar gum and Xanthum gum are utilized as binding agents, and HPMC is employed as a swelling agent. The substance utilized to create the matrix is ethyl cellulose. As a suspending agent, PVP is employed. A gas-forming agent is sodium bicarbonate. MCC is employed as a diluent and a disintegrant. A lubricant called magnesium stearate is employed. Drug content, entrapment effectiveness, post compression tests, in-vitro buoyancy studies, swelling index studies, in-vitro dissolving studies, release kinetics, and stability studies will all be assessed for the manufactured Cefepime tablets. The pharmacopoeial limits were determined to apply to each of these parameters. On the basis of relevant findings from the post compression investigation, Formulation F5 was chosen for the drug release and stability study. A regulated release pattern was revealed by an in vitro dissolution investigation.
