[Formulation of lithium carbonate tablets with various binding substances]

The test results of lithium carbonate tablets, made of various binding substances (maize starch, gelatin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose 7pp, kollidon 30) were presented. The content of lithium carbonate, tablets weight variation, hardness, friability, disintegration, as well as the lithium carbonate dissolution rate were determined. The best properties were observed in tablets made with maize starch paste with the addition of starch in the internal phase.
