Abstract: Stable non-alcoholic transdermal hydrogel of dexibuprofen was prepared by using a simple manufacturing process, and the experimental trials showed that the pH modifying agent, antioxidant and water miscible solvent are the essential excipients to obtain stable non-alcoholic transdermal hydrogel of dexibuprofen. The dexibuprofen hydrogel prepared using carbopol as a gelling polymer produced an opaque gel, whereas hydrogel prepared using hyroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as a gelling polymer produced a transparent gel. There was no significant changes observed with respect to physical description, pH, assay and particularly to the related substance values when the hydrogels were subjected to the stability study at accelerated condition (40° C./75% RH) for 3 months in laminated tubes.

Abstract: Preparing a dexibuprofen pharmaceutical formulation in the form of granules that can be directly compressed into tablets. The process consists of two steps: (i) preparation of base granules, and (ii) blending base granules with a compression aid. The process of preparing base granules involves use of liquid bed granulator with top spray method, or slugging by roll compaction. The granules prepared by using both the methods showed improved compressibility and flowability compared to granules prepared by conventional granulation process using rapid mixer granulator. The ready-to-compress granules prepared by the process show no signs of sticking when compressed on a high-speed commercial scale tablet compression machine.
