ABSTRACT:
A granular composition containing 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen) as an active anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical ingredient as a major component, together with carboxymethylcellulose, a lubricant and water as minor components, is disclosed. Particles of ibuprofen and carboxymethylcellulose are both fluidized and coated with an aqueous disperson of a starch binder. After being dried to a moisture level of about 1-5% and blended with a lubricant and additional carboxymethylcellulose, the resulting granules can be directly molded into a pharmaceutically acceptable tablet having high hardness, short disintegration time and fast dissolution rate.
