Abstract This study was designed to develop a once-daily controlled-release matrix tablet of aceclofenac 200 mg (AFC-CR) with dual release characteristics and to investigate the role of an alkalizer in enhancing drug solubility and reducing the occurrence of gastroduodenal mucosal lesions. Two formulation approaches were employed, namely a monolithic matrix tablet and a bilayered tablet. In vitro dissolution studies of AFC-CR tablets were carried out in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8...

Abstract Salt disproportionation (a conversion from the ionized to the neutral state) in solid formulations is a potential concern during manufacturing or storage of products containing a salt of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) due to the negative ramifications on product performance. However, it is challenging to find an effective approach to prevent or mitigate this undesirable reaction in formulations. Hence, the overall objective of this study is to explore novel formulation...
