Abstract

Ciprofloxacin HCL is a tablet made by wet granulation method. Ciprofloxacin is a broad spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is mainly used for various bacterial infections including anthrax, biliary tract infection, bone and joint infection, gastrointestinal including traveller’s diarrhea and campylobacter enteritis, shigella, meningococcal meningitis prophylaxis, surgical infection prophylaxis, tuberculosis, leprosy and topically in the treatment of eye infections.

The prepared Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablet is evaluated in terms of bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, Carr’s index and, hardness test, weight variation test, friability test and in vitro study. The result associated in the optimized batch is good to satisfactory, and having a good free-flowing property. The hardness, weight variation, and friability values are within the pharmacopeia limit. The in vitro dissolution studies show the maximum percentage of release of drug (86%) within 30 min.
