The main goals of sustained release drug delivery are to modify the medication's biopharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties in order to lessen adverse effects, increase patient compliance, and treat the illness. The current work set out to create sustained release tablets of nizatidine (220 mg) using a wet granulation process and different concentrations of polymers such as chitosan, Kollidon SR, and HPMC K100M. Pre-formulation characteristics were examined, including medication DSC analysis and FTIR research. We assessed a number of post-compression characteristics, including content homogeneity, thickness, hardness, friability, and weight uniformity. This study demonstrated how the post-compression characteristics of the drug formulation are influenced by the concentration of polymers.
