ABSTRACT
The lamivudine is bitter in taste API. Undesirable taste is one of the
several important formulation problem that are encounter with certain
drug the present study deals with development of taste masked
resonates of Lamivudine using ion exchange resin. The drug resin
complexation procedure was optimize with respect to drug to resin
ratio, stirring time and pH of medium. The taste masked complex was
characterized by FTIR, DSC. In-vitro release studies elevated complete
drug release within 120 min in 0.1N HCL solution. The taste masked
complex was than formulated into a oral film dosage form using
Glycerin, pectin and citric acid. The oral film was evaluated for various quality control
parameter
Keywords: Bitter taste, Taste masking, oral film, lamivudine, resinate, Ion exchange resin.
