Epilepsy is treated mainly with drugs, though brain surgery may be used for severe cases. Sodium channel blockers are generally used in the treatment of seizures, e.g.: phenytoin, carbamazepine, sodium valproate. The aim of this study is to develop sustained release matrix tablet of phenytoin sodium using eudragit- RL100, eudragit-RS100, HPMC-E15, ethyl cellulose (N-14), Chitosan and HPMC as release controlling factor and to evaluate drug release parameters as per various release kinetic models. The formulated tablets were also charac.. View More»
