Abstract Powders used in pharmaceuticals require good flowability. The angle of repose and compressibility index are often used to measure the flowability of pharmaceutical powders. However, confirming the relationship between external forces and flowability for smooth powder handling is necessary.…

Fast dissolving drug delivery systems offers a solution for pediatric, geriatric, mentally ill people and those patients having difficulty in swallowing tablets or capsules. In the present study, an attempt had been made to prepare fast dissolving tablets of Bisoprolol Fumarate, an antihypertensive…
