[Properties and stability of tetracycline hydrochloride tablets].

Three forms of tetracycline hydrochloride tablets were studied, i.e. the uncoated tablets, sugar-coated tablets and the tablets with gastric-soluble film coating. The film-coated tablets had advantages in the main quality characteristics, i.e. the contents of the tetracycline-like admixtures, the active substance and solubility rate. The possibility of the tablet stability investigation by the method of "accelerated aging" was shown.

[Galenical possibilities and problems in protraction of drug effects (author's transl)].

In recent years, dosage forms with sustained release have obtained a significant importance. The technological possibilities for manufacturing are described as coating, embedding and matrix procedures. The range of auxiliary substances, which are responsible for the retardation of drug activity, reaches from lipophilic compounds as lipoids, fatty alcohols and compounds which are forming hydrogels as cellulose derivatives and natural polysaccharides to synthetic polymers derived from acrylic acid. The formulation of the dosage forms requires particular care in respect to the amount of initial and maintenance doses. On account of technological processes, for example during manufacturing of tablets, under certain circumstances the liberation rate is altered. In vitro test methods allow comparisons only then when the results can be counter-checked by in vitro experiments. The release of drug follows different mechanisms, which are described, entirely or in part, to be reactions following the time law of zero or first order. In special cases, a linear correlation is observed as a function of square root of time. The calculation of given special equations for events within the dosage form is feasible from blood-level values.

[Pharmacokinetic study of sodium di-n-propylacetate (usual tablet and enteric coated tablet with delayed absorption) (author's transl)].

The authors study the blood levels of DPA after ingestion of the drug in the usual tablet form and after ingestion of an enteric coated tablet with delayed intestinal absorption. They emphasize the fast and very variable absorption of the drug in the usual tablet form which makes necessary the administration of several doses each day. They find a slower absorption from the enteric coated tablet resulting incumulative effects. This form allows an easier administration schedule (one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening). Moreover, the blood levels show less variation during a twenty-four-hour period. Undoubtedly, this new form is an improvement in comparison with the usual tablet.
