What is effervescent tablet

 Effervescent tablets are a relatively new pharmaceutical dosage form in our country. Different from ordinary tablets, effervescent tablets use organic acid and basic carbonate (bicarbonate) salt to react as effervescent disintegrants. When placed in water, effervescence occurs immediately. The reaction produces and releases a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, like boiling, so it is called effervescent tablet. The prescription of an effervescent tablet consists of the main drug, diluent, binder, disintegrant, lubricant and other auxiliary materials. The diluent, binder, lubricant and other auxiliary materials used are the same as those of ordinary tablets. The appropriate variety should be selected according to the preparation process. Different from ordinary tablets, the disintegrant used in effervescent tablets is an effervescent disintegrant. The effervescent disintegrant includes an acid source and an alkali source. Commonly used acid sources are citric acid, malic acid, boric acid, tartaric acid, and Horse acid, inorganic mineral acid (hydrochloric acid), etc.; commonly used alkali sources are sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate and their mixtures. The acid-base ratio has a significant effect on the preparation and stability of the effervescent tablet. It is generally believed that the amount of acid exceeds the theoretical amount, which is beneficial to the stability of the effervescent tablet and improves the taste.
