ABSTRACT
Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic agent clinically used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar diseases, and autism. Usually, the frequency of doses is twice daily. In the present study, risperidone controlled release matrices formulated using hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers. The tablets were prepared by direct compression. The pre-compression and post-compression properties were assessed, along with swelling studies. The morphology of particles observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The stability study on the drug was performed using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The optimized formulation was prepared with the help of hydrophilic polymer K100M (40% ratio). Furthermore, release kinetics had investigated. The release pattern of optimized formulation FT5 fitted best to zero-order kinetics and showed excellent release characteristics. The model-independent approach had been used, formulations FT6 and FT8 showed resemblance with FT5 in all three media, respectively. The once daily formulation of risperidone could be beneficial for schizophrenia patients and their caregivers and will improve patient compliance.
