Abstract

Curcuma singularis (CS) Gagnep is commonly known in Vietnam as “Sam da” or “cay khoe,” which belongs to the Curcuma genus, Zingiberaceae family. CS rhizomes were extensively used as a folk medicine for boosting health. However, CS rhizome extract has a bitter taste and is unpleasant for consumption as a medicinal agent. Therefore, this study aimed to formulate and prepare film-coated tablets containing CS rhizome dried extract. In this study, CS rhizome extract meets medicinal quality requirements of in-house standards based on the latest version of Vietnam Pharmacopoeia V. Corn starch was used to produce a dried extract. The core tablets of CS rhizome were prepared by direct compression technique with the combination of various excipients in the formula and then coated with HPMC-E6 and PEG-6000 to obtain film-coated tablets. Our results showed that the formulation and preparation process for film-coated tablets containing CS rhizome extract was successfully established. The product met the quality standards in accordance with the proposed specifications.
