Pullulan: an advantageous natural polysaccharide excipient to formulate tablets of alendronate-loaded microparticles
Braz. j. pharm. sci; 51 (1), 2015
This work reports the preparation of tablets by direct compression of sodium alendronate-loaded microparticles, using pullulan as filler. The tableting properties of pullulan were compared with those of microcrystalline cellulose and lactose. Pullulan tablets showed low variations in average weight, thic...
