Abstract
In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop controlled release tablets of Deflazacort by selecting different types of polymers Eudragit S 100, Ethyl Cellulose and Hydroxypropyl Cellulose as retarding polymers. All the formulations were prepared by direct compression method. The blend of all the formulations showed good flow properties such as angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density. The prepared tablets were shown good post compression parameters and they passed all the quality control evaluation parameters as per I.P limits. Among all the formulations F8 formulation showed maximum % drug release i.e., 96.94 % in 12 hours. Hence it is considered as optimized formulation F8 which contains Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (10 mg). Whereas the formulations with Eudragit S 100 showed more retarding with low concentration of polymer.
