Performance Evaluation Of Tamarind Seed Polyose As A Binder And In Sustained Release Formulations Of Low Drug Loading

Evaluation of tamarind seed polyose as a binder for tablet dosage forms was taken up for the wet granulation as well as direct compression methods. The drug release sustaining properties of tamarind seed polyose polymer were also studied using 5 mg of terbutaline sulphate matrices. The results indicated that tamarind seed polyose could be used as binder for wet granulation and direct compression tableting methods as well as a suitable polymer for sustained release formulations of low drug loading.
