enteric coatd tablets (ECT) are designed so that the acids in your stomach do not break it down so that the active drug is absorbed through your intestines rather then your stomach.

What is a disintegration time apparatus?

For a drug to show maximum availability in the body it must be in solution form. So as a first step, the tablets that we take in, should break down to smaller particles or granules.This breaking up process is known as disintegration. disintegration is an important parameter of the tablet. It is determined with an apparatus described

Reason for taking900ml of water as disintegration medium in disintegration test?

Taking 900ml of water as the disintegration medium in a disintegration test is commonly used to simulate the conditions of the stomach where the dosage form is expected to disintegrate. This volume is considered sufficient to provide the necessary agitation and dissolution properties needed for the test. It also helps ensure reproducibility and accuracy in the disintegration test results.

Why some tablets are dispersible?

Fast dispersible tablets disintegrate either rapidly in water, to form a stabilized suspension, or disperse instantaneously in the mouth to be swallowed without the aid of water. A direct compression method was used to prepare these two types of tablets containing coated ibuprofen as a high dosed model drug. The properties of the water dispersible tablet, such as porosity, hardness, disintegration time and increase in viscosity after dispersion, were investigated. The selected tablet formulation, containing 26% galactomannan and 5% crospovidone, disintegrates before the galactomannan starts to swell. These tablets disperse in water within 40 s and show a crushing strength of 95 N. To develop an orodispersible tablet, a rotatable central composite design was applied to predict the effects of the quantitative factors mannitol and crospovidone as well as compression force on the characteristics of the tablet. Special emphasis was paid to the development of a wetting test, replacing the normal disintegration method. An optimum tablet formulation, containing 34% mannitol and 13% crospovidone, provides a short wetting time of 17 s and a sufficient crushing strength of 40 N. In conclusion, fast dispersible tablets with acceptable hardness and desirable taste could be prepared within the optimum region.

Is staphylococcus aureus negative for the methyl red test?

Yes, Staphylococcus aureus is negative for the methyl red test due to its inability to produce stable acids from glucose fermentation. This distinguishes it from other enteric bacteria that are positive for the methyl red test.
