Famotidine is a H2 receptor antagonist, used to reduce the gastric acid secretion in the stomach. The aim of the present investigation was the development and evaluation of famotidine multi-unit tablet encapsulated system to treat upper gastro intestinal ulcers.
The drug release was controlled with matrix polymers like POLYOXWSR 1105 and HPMC K4M. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. The prepared tablets were evaluated for physico chemical parameters like weight variation, hardness, friability, buoyancy studies, drug content, in vitro dissolution and mucoadhesive property in porcine..
