  • Title: Investigating the effects of excipients on the powder flow characteristics of theophylline anhydrous powder formulations.
    Author: Nagel KM, Peck GE.
    Journal: Drug Dev Ind Pharm; 2003 Mar; 29(3):277-87. PubMed ID: 12741609.
    Abstract:
    Pharmaceutical excipients may have a great effect on properties affecting tablet production. To determine if formulations containing theophylline anhydrous would have properties allowing them to be easily tableted, functional parameters affecting powder flow were evaluated. The Carr Flowability Indices were used for this evaluation. Formulations to be studied include theophylline anhydrous as the active ingredient, hydrous lactose and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate as diluents, polyvinylpyrrolidone as a binder, and fumed silica as a flow promoter. The effect of each component on powder flow is discussed.
