Definitions

  • the present invention has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity and relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac that shall be used in the treatment of mild, moderate and severe pain, arthralgia, fever, toothache, dysmenorrhea, toothache, myalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, backache.
  • Diclofenac was first disclosed in the application numbered US3558690.
  • Diclofenac and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic drugs belonging to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).
  • NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Diclofenac is available in the forms of 25 mg and 50 mg dragee; 75 mg/3ml ampoule; 1%,2% and 3% gel; 100 mg capsule; 0.1% eye drop; 50 mg and 100 mg suppository; 75 mg and 100 mg sustained release tablet; 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg enterically coated tablet and 100 mg retard tablet on the market.
  • Diclofenac is a hygroscopic molecule and thus its water solubility is quite low. Therefore, it is observed that effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac disperse slowly when they contact with water and the active agent does not dissolve sufficiently owing to these characteristics of the active agent diclofenac. Due to this, sufficient amount of the active agent cannot be absorbed; the required bioavailability cannot be obtained. Consequently, an effective treatment cannot be provided. In other aspect, it is required that the solutions obtained by dissolving the formulations comprising diclofenac in water should have a pH value in water in the range of 4,1-5 according to the specifications.
  • the effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac comprise at least two buffering agents having acidic and basic characteristics along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70: 1 to 10: 1; they have high water solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic activity and they do not cause any stomach disturbances since the solution obtained during use of said formulations is in optimal pH range for the stomach.
  • the present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac.
