Anderson, PharmD  Last updated on Feb 16, 2019. You’ve given the pharmacist a prescription for your new diabetes medication called metformin hydrochloride, but when you receive your bottle and look it up on the internet, all you see is “metformin”, not “metformin hydrochloride.” Why is this? Is it the same drug your doctor ordered? What is “hydrochloride”? Why do some drugs exist in salt forms? Over 50% of all drug molecules used in medicine exist as salts, most frequently as the hydrochloride, sodium, or sulfate salts. ...

ICH (Full form = International Conference on Harmonisation) is a committee that provides the pharmaceutical guidelines for industries. ICH guidelines are followed throughout the world for product quality. Following is the list of ICH guidelines: Q1A(R2) - Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products: This guidance is for analysis of the product for its stability in different environmental conditions. Q1B - Stability Testing: Photostability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products: This is also for stability studies of pharmaceutical products to test the effect of light on the product. Q1C - Stability Testing for New Dosage Forms: Annex to the ICH Harmonised Tripartite Guideline on Stability Testing for New Drugs and Products Q1D - Bracketing and Matrixing Designs for Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products: This section of the guideline is for stability testing of product using Bracketing and Matrixing. Q1E - Evaluation for Stability Data: This section ...

OPTIMIZATION OF TELMISARTAN TABLET FORMULATION ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study is optimization of telmisartan tablet formulation employing βCD, Primojel, and Tween 80 by 23 factorial design to achieve NLT 85% dissolution in 10 min. Eight telmisartan tablet formulations were prepared using selected combinations of the three factors as per 23 factorial design. Telmisartan tablets were prepared by direct compression method and were evaluated. Telmisartan tablet formulations Fb and Fbc disintegrated rapidly in 20 and 40 seconds and gave very rapid dissolution of telmisartan, 96.1% and 95.8% in 10 min respectively. The increasing order of dissolution rate (K1) observed with various formulations was Fc< F1< Fac< Fa< Fabc< Fab< Fbc< Fb. The polynomial equation describing the relationship between the response,  percent drug dissolved in 10min (Y) and the levels of βCD (X1) , Primojel (X2)  and Tween 80 (X3) based on the observed results is  Y ...

RMG (RAPID MIXER GRANULATOR) PRINCIPLE AND WORKING BY Bhupesh solanki In Rapid mixer granulator Mixing ,Densification and Agglomeration is achieved using Shear mixing(Breaking inter-molecular forces) and Compaction forces exerted by Impeller on the powder mass . RMG consists of Mixing chamber , Impeller , Chopper ,Discharge port , Filter assembly , Purging air and Solution inlet port .                             Mixing chambers Mixing Chambers in Rapid mixer granulator is of 3 types Conical shaped , Domed shape , and Circular shaped  although the basic aim behind all the shapes is to eliminate the dead points and wall adhesion i.e.the powder may not adhere to wall from where it cannot detach leading to inefficient granulation as well as mixing . Filter assembly is on the top of port in this vent air filter is placed which allows the purging air to leave the Mixing chamber and retains the granules insid...
Rapid mixer granulator is widely used equipment in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is used to mix the pharmaceutical ingredients and make the granules before compression. Impellers and chopper are mainly responsible for wet granulation in the rapid mixer granulator. Impellers: Impellers are fixed at the bottom of the dome-shaped stainless steel bowl. It has two full length and two half-length blades. These impellers are designed in such a way that small blades lift the material and full-length  blades push the material to mix well. These impellers break up the wet mass into small pieces and granules. Chopper:  These are specially designed small blades located at the bottom of the dome. It rotates at high speed (1440/2880) RPM to give easy and uniform granulation. Chopper cuts the wet lumps of material into small sized parts those are mixed equally by the impellers and its speed is responsible for the size of the granules. Chopper doesn't have any significant effect o...
