Objective: The objective of the current work was to develop Ivabradine hydrochloride (HCl) floating pulsatile pellets containing drug loaded calcium alginate pellets coated with pH-dependent polymer Eudragit S100 oil dispersion. Methods: Fluidized bed coating technique was used to develop pellets. A 22 factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables (inlet air temperature, spray rate), on dependent variables (% entrapment efficiency, % friability, and average particle...
