        <p>Single unit floating effervescent matrix tablets of Dipyridamole were successfully prepared with hydrophilic polymers like HPMC K4M , HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M with 10% NaHCO3 by Simple direct compression method with drug: polymer ratio of 1:1.5,1:2,1:2.5:1.3. FT-IR studies were conducted between drug, polymer and various excipients used in the formulations. Evaluation parameters of powder blend like Hausner’s ratio, Compressibility index, Angle of repose were carried out and results showed that the powder has good flow properties. Formulated tablets gave satisfactory results for various evaluation parameters like tablet hardness (5-6 Kg/cm2), weight variation (±10%), Friability (</p>
