Abstract
The incorporation of hydroflumethiazide with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was found to retard and to enhance the dissolution of the drug from compressed discs, the magnitude of the effect being dependent on the proportion of PVP present and its method of incorporation. The most active system dissolved sixteen times faster than pure hydroflumethiazide. Low concentrations of PVP were also found to decrease the apparent solubility of hydroflumethiazide while at high concentrations solubility was enhanced. X-ray and infrared analysis of systems suggested the presence of an amorphous form of hydroflumethiazide in coprecipitate systems. The dissolution data were consistent with a physical model which takes account of the roles played by crystalline and amorphous hydroflumethiazide together with the complexing and crystal growth inhibiting effect of PVP on hydroflumethiazide.Keywords
