  • Title: Studies on metronidazole tablet formulations.
    Author: Itiola OA, Pilpel N.
    Journal: J Pharm Pharmacol; 1986 Feb; 38(2):81-6. PubMed ID: 2870167.
    Abstract:
    Incorporating polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin and methylcellulose binding agents in a metronidazole formulation alters the tensile strength, disintegration and dissolution times of the tablets by reducing their wettability as measured by the adhesion tension of water. Correlations have been established between the disintegration times, D and the dissolution times t50, t90 and t1 (derived from the equation of Noyes & Whitney). A correlation has also been established between the adhesion tension of water on the tablets and the disintegration and dissolution times. These correlations depend on the nature and concentration of binder used.
