Abstract – The use of solid self-emulsifying systems.

ABSTRACT

Goat fat and Tween 65 admixtures were used to formulate self-emulsifying tablets containing diclofenac. The tablets were formulated by pour moulding using a plastic mould. The tablets were evaluated using the following parameters: weight uniformity, absolute drug content, and liquefaction time. The dissolution profile of diclofenac from the self-emulsifying tablets was determined in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) without pepsin. Results obtained indicated that diclofenac could be comfortably administered in the form of self-emulsifying tablets using goat fat and Tween 65 admixtures.
