The present technology provides tablets with enhanced dissolution rate of sparingly soluble drugs leading to increased bioavailability. Grains of solid dispersion of the drug in water soluble carrier are formed/cemented into tablets in a manner similar to that of cube sugar. Solid dispersions of drugs in carriers of poor compressibility can be easily formed into tablets of any suitable shape/size by known cube sugar technology. Resulting tablets are not only readily dispersible owing to capillary action but also ensure rapid dissolution of poorly soluble drug because of solid dispersion. Simultaneous exploitation of well-known approaches- solid dispersion, capillary action, optional surfactant and optional size reduction in the proposed technique results in steep enhancement of dissolution rate without compromising with content uniformity.

The invention relates to a process for recovery of useful constituents from multilayer
laminated fragments arising as waste from industrial packaging
manufacture. It relates more particularly to recovery of polyethylene plastic and
aluminium foil from multilayered, laminated fragments containing these materials.
According to the process disclosed, the delamination of the laminated
constituents of the packaging waste fragments is carried out by keeping the
fragments immersed in nitric acid of 50 - 70 % concentration at ambient
temperature for 3 to 6 hour duration. The aluminium foils get fully separated from
the plastics and the constituents remain in a submerged/floating condition. The
delaminated constituents are removed from the nitric acid bath and allowed to
pass through a series of bath for washing and separation of the materials. The
fragments of separated aluminium foils and separated plastic are centrifuged to
dryness and then allowed a sun bath for total drying. The separated fragments of
aluminium foils can be used for producing aluminium ingots or sold as such.
Similarly the separated fragments of plastic can be used for producing recycled
plastic granules or sold as such.
