Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (6 votes)

A volatile solid (e.g Urethrane or ammonium bicarbonate) is added to a standard, directly compressible formulation.
After the tablet compression,the volatilizable solid is removed by a freeze-drying or heating process.
Water easily penetrates through the pores & promotes rapid disintegration.
e.g. Lyoc and Zydis Tablets

Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (7 votes)

• Hiestand quantify rationally the compaction properties of pharmaceutical powders.
• The results of this work are three indices known as Hiestand Tableting Indices.
– The Strain Index (SI)
– The Bonding Index (BI)
– The Brittle Fracture Index (BFI).
• The SI is a measure of the internal entropy, or strain, associated with a given material when compacted.
