Abstract

Abstract

Oral controlled release (CR) matrix system of Ambroxol HCl was developed using binary hydrophilic polymer mixture of chitosan (CH) and xanthan gum (XG). Drug to polymer ratios (D: P) tested were 1:1 and 1:3 (w/w). The in-vitro drug release data was best fitted to Higuchi equation. The 1:1 ratio showed in-vitro dissolution similarity with the commercial product, Mucosolvan LA ®. The in-vivo release study was conducted on six volunteers.  The data showed that the D: P (1:1) ratio is bioequivalent to Mucosolvan  LA ® after the administration of a single oral dose under fasting conditions. Two in-vivo in-vitro correlations (IVIVC) were established between Cmax versus fraction of drug dissolved (FRD) after 4 h, and AUC versus ratio of fraction of drug dissolved (FRD) after 10 h where a multiple C level of IVIVC was obtained.
