ABSTRACT
Orodispersible tablets (ODTs) containing Ondansetron (OND)
Hydroxy Propyl –β- Cyclodextrin (HP-β - CD) were prepared by direct
compression. The solubility of OND was enhanced by complexation
with HP-β – CD by kneading method. The complex 1:1 molar ratio
exhibited highest solubility was compressed into ODT. Crospovidone
was used as a Superdisintegrant in the range of 2.5 to 10% w/w. The
disintegration time of tablets of various batches was in the range of 60
to 80 seconds. The in vitro release study displayed faster and complete
release of drug within 30 minutes. The prepared batches were
compared with marketed orally disintegrating tablets. In the present
study, ODT of Ondansetron containing HP-β- CD were prepared by
direct compression using Superdisintegrant Crospovidone. 1:1 molar ratio was chosen and the
complex was prepared by kneading method. The solubility of drug was found to be
0.018±0.005mg/ml and by complexing with HP-β-CD the solubility was increased up to
2.82±0.54mg/ml. Angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density; Carr’s index and hausner
ratio all were in range according to the pharmacopoeia. Disintegration time was under the
limit. The In vitro release was faster as compare to the marketed formulation.
