ABSTRACT:
The present study was carried out with an objective of formulation and evaluation of floating tablets of baclofen for prolongation of gastric residence time with a view to deliver the drug at controlled manner in gastrointestinal tract and consequently into systemic circulation. Baclofen, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, is indicated in the long-term treatment of spasticity resulting for multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. Therefore baclofen floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method using 3 grades of Eudragit (Eudragit L100, Eudragit S100, and Eudragit RSPO). Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the absence of any drug/polymers/excipient interactions. The prepared floating tablets were evaluated for hardness, weight variation, thickness, friability, drug content uniformity, total floating time, water uptake (swelling index) and in-vitro dissolution studies. Among the 12 formulations F3 showed drug release 98.37% in pH 1.2 dissolution medium. All the formulations showed drug content ranging from 80.93 to 98.37%. Drug release rate kinetics studies shown that drug release follows Higuchi mechanism.
