Overview, Advantage And Disadvantage Of Pharmaceutical Effervescent Tablets
Effervescent tablets are designed to break in contact with liquid such as water or juice, often causing the tablet to dissolve into a solution. The benefit of effervescent tablets is that they dissolve completely and evenly meaning that localized concentrations of the ingredients cannot occur. This means not only a better taste but also less chance of irritation and a more efficient means of ingesting the ingredients. Effervescent tablet Effervescence consists of a soluble organic acid and an alkali metal carbonate salt, one of which is often the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). CO2 is created by the reaction between carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid such as citric acid or tartaric acid. Carbon dioxide is formed if this mixture comes into contact with water. They have good stomach and intestinal tolerance. The tablet disintegration should complete within a few minutes (15 minutes).
