The Effect Of Different Excipient Formulation On The Results Of The Physical Evaluation Of Amoxicylin Capsules

Abstract

The use of capsules in Indonesian society is quite widely used because they only have attractive shapes and colors. Capsules are considered to help patients who do not take medicine because the taste of the medicine is not good or tends to be bitter. In this study, researchers tried to make two formulations to compare the effect of differences in the percentage of PVP on the results of the physical preparation evaluation test of amoxicillin capsules. The evaluation tests carried out included tests of flow properties, angle of repose, compressibility test, weight uniformity test, disintegration time test, and capsule size uniformity test. The results of the evaluation test on the evaluation of amoxicillin showed that both formulations still met the requirements.
