A Research on Formulation and Evaluation of Celecoxib Fast Disintegrating Capsule (200mg)

Abstract Fast-disintegrating capsules have gained significant interest due to their potential to enhance patient compliance and drug efficacy. Celecoxib, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), known for its selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), is commonly used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other conditions.
Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that specifically inhibits cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2),enzyme involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a key role in inflammation, pain perception, and fever response. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, celecoxib reduces the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation and pain, while sparing COX-1 activity to a greater extent.
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a fast-disintegrating capsule formulation of Celecoxib to provide rapid onset of action and improved patient convenience. The formulation was optimized using a combination of superdisintegrants and excipients to achieve fast disintegration in oral cavity conditions. Physicochemical characterization including disintegration time,and drug content uniformity were evaluated. In vitro dissolution studies were conducted to assess drug release profiles. The optimized formulation demonstrated rapid disintegration within seconds and showed comparable dissolution profiles to commercially available Celecoxib capsules. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of the fast-disintegrating Celecoxib capsule in clinical settings to validate its potential therapeutic benefits.
