Interaction between polyethylene films and bromhexine HCl in solid dosage form. IV. Prevention of the sorption by addition of magnesium aluminum silicate.
The effects of magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS) addition on the sorption of bromhexine HCl to polyethylene film in tablets were studied. The addition of MAS prevented the sorption of bromhexine HCl to polyethylene film. In order to investigate the mechanism, the interaction between bromhexine HCl and MAS was studied by the powder X-ray diffraction method. It was observed that bromhexine HCl was preferentially adsorbed to the surface of MAS rather than to polyethylene film. The adsorption was accelerated at high temperature and reduced pressure conditions. The sorption of bromhexine base and bromhexine HCl to packaging material were compared using tablet dosage forms. The sorption of bromhexine base to polyethylene film was greater than that of bromhexine HCl.
