ABSTRACT
Atomoxetine hydrochloride (atomoxetine) increased the risk of suicidal ideation in short-term studies in children or adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Tablets of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride were formulated as sustained release tablet employing tamarind seed polysaccharide, guar gum, PVP, Mg. stearate, MCC the sustained release tablets was investigated. Sustained release matrix tablets contain Atomoxetine Hydrochloride were developed using different drug polymer concentration of tamarind seed polysaccharide, guar gum,. Tablets were prepared by directly using MCC. Formulation was optimized on the basis of acceptable tablet properties and in-vitro drug release. The resulting formulation produced robust tablets with optimum hardness, thickness consistent weight uniformity and low friability. All tablets but one exhibited gradual and near completion sustained release for Atomoxetine Hydrochloride, and 98.6% and 97.5 released at the end of 12 hrs. The results of dissolution studies indicated that formulation F8, the most successful of the study. An increase in release kinetics of the drug was observed on decreasing polymer concentration
