Abstract
A rapidly disintegration famotidine tablet formulation in the oral cavity was developed using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (L-HPC), or additionally cropovidone as an internal disintegrant. Effects of disintegrants on the disintegration time in vitro and hardness were evaluated. Average wetting time of the tablets prepared in scale-up manufacturing process was less than 15 sec. Among the formulations tested, the tablet prepared with crospovidone as an internal disintegrant and Emcocel $90M^{(R)}$ as an external disintegrant showed fastest disintegration. These results may suggest that crospovidone and Emcocel $90M^{(R)}$ possessed excellent wetting nature, which result in the rapid disintegration of tablet.
