Formulation and Evaluation of Microcapsules containing Flurbiprofen

Abstract

Microencapsulation technologies to prolong release of Flurbiprofen are
constantly being development microcapsules. Formulation of
Flurbiprofen microcapsules for the prolonged release of drug. The
formulations F5 and F6 were found to be best among all other
formulation. The biodegradable hydrophilic polymer Ethyl cellulose and
HPMC are suitable for the preparation of prolonged release
microcapsules. Viscosity of polymer plays the major role in formulation
of microcapsules of Flurbiprofen. There is no interaction between the
drug and polymer of microcapsules of Flurbiprofen. The microcapsules
of Flurbiprofen can be used as an anti bacterial agent and have improved
the patient compliance
