The designed tablets were subjected to various assessment parameters like friability test, hardness test, disintegration test, wetting time, <em>in vitro </em>drug release and drug content.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>All the prepared formulations were subjected to various assessment parameters, and the findings obtain within the prescribed limit. The calibration curve of pure drug using various solvents like phosphate buffer pH 6.8, methanol was plotted. F1-F9 containing croscarmellose sodium and sodium starch glycolate in various concentration demonstrate the minimum disintegration time. Among all these formulations F9 shows disintegration time up to 22±1.12 seconds due to the high concentration of superdisintegrants. <em>In vitro </em>drug release was tested in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 at a time interval of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 min. The F9 shows drug release 100.22±1.08%. Accelerated stability study of optimized formulation (F9) up to 2 mo showed there was no change in disintegration time and percentage drug release.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The results obtained in the research work clearly showed a promising potential of mouth dissolving tablets containing a specific ratio of croscarmellose sodium and sodium starch glycolate as superdisintegrants for the effective treatment of hypertension and coronary artery disease.</p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics}, author={BADWAR, MEGHAWATI R. and BORSE, SANDHYA L. and JUNAGADE, MANISH S. and JADHAV, ANIL G.}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={132–139} }
