The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of superdisintegrants: sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium and crospovidone in promoting tablet disintegration and drug dissolution of Topiramate immediate release tablets. The efficiency of superdisintegrants was tested, by considering four concentrations, viz., like 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% in the formulations. The dissolution was carried out in USP apparatus II at 50 rpm with distilled water as a dissolution medium. The dissolution rate of the model drug topiramate was found highly dependent on the tablet disintegration, on the particle size of the superdisintegrant, on the solubility of the drug and also on the type of superdisintegrant in the dissolution medium. There was no effect of the diluent (Lactose monohydrate) on the disintegration of different concentrations of superdisintegrants. These results suggest that, as determined by the f2 metric (similarity factor), the dissolution profile of the formulation containing 4% sodium starch glycolate and lactose monohydrate as a diluent was similar to that of a marketed product.
