Formulation and evaluation of orodispersible tablet of poorly water soluble drug ‘fenofibrate’ by using solubility enhancement technique

In the recent years scientific and technological advancements have been made in the research and development of oral drug delivery systems. The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate of orodispersible tablets by direct compression for fenofibrate by using super fast disintegrating agents like croscarmellose sodium. The use of super disintegrant and excipient for preparation of fast disintegrating is highly effective and commercially feasible. In the present investigation poorly water soluble drug is one of the most important parameters of oral formulations sucessfully developed fenofibrate was using solvent evaporation method drug: PEG 6000 in (1:5 w/w). The formulation F7 was the optimized formula that showed satisfactory results with various physicochemical evaluation parameters like thickness, hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content, % drug release almost 79.98% within 15 min. and it was follow the maximum higuchi release kinetics that regression coefficient values ‘r²’= 0.995.
