The objective of present work is to develop and characterize dual release tablet formulation containing Metformin in extended release matrix form and Pioglitazone in immediate release form for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. Different formulations containing Metformin HCl were manufactured using 32 factorial designs. Influences of hydrophobic carrier, hydrophilic polymer on drug release were studied. Immediate release layer of Pioglitazone was optimized using different disintegrants. All formulations were evaluated for percentage drug release and analyzed according to various release kinetic models. Optimization results indicated that release rate of Metformin is directly proportional to the levels of stearic acid (SA) and poly-ethylene-oxide (PEO). Kinetic analysis showed that formulation M6 was good releasing with f2 value of 81.08 and follows Higuchi and Peppas model with corre.. View More»
