Objective: Design and development of medicated chocolate containing anti-depressant drug –Amitriptyline HCl. The formulation is optimized by Factorial design method. The main aim is To increase the patient compliance and reduce the rejection towards the other pharmaceutical products.
Experimental Work: The medicated chocolate of Amitriptyline HCl is formulated using cocoa powder, cocoa butter, Mannitol and other suitable excipients. The bitter taste of the drug is masked by using beta cyclodextrin. Various trial batches are formulated to obtain the maximum drug release. 23 factorial design was employed for the optimization of the formulation. Pre formulation and post-formulation studies were done for the evaluation of the formulation.
Result: The medicated chocolate containing Amitriptyline HCl (10mg) showed 97.2% drug release after 1 hour. The formulation has passed all the evaluation parameter. For stability improvement, Mannitol was added. The taste was also enhanced due to addition of mannitol.
Conclusion: The studies indicates that the formulation is acceptable for the patients who are formed to get better taste, texture and also to decrease the level of rejection towards medications which has bitter taste.
