[Pharmaceutical technology of Cordaflex tablets]

First the possibilities of solubilization and the photosensibility of nifedipine (the active ingredient of Cordaflex tablets) were investigated. The technology of retard tablet involves the preparation of a coprecipitate through spraying a solution containing nifedipine, a hydrotropic and a reardizing substance on carrier. After drying the produced granulated material was blended with common auxiliary ingredients, compressed into tablet and coated. The ratio of the two types of coprecipitating substances has a direct effect on the dissolution, so it proved predictable. The reproducibility of technology was good.
