Abstract

Aloe-Vera or Aloe barbadensis (botanical name) is a plant with many medicinal properties and have great importance in Ayurveda. Its leaves are succulent, erect, forming a thick rosette. The internal translucent pulp of Aloe-Vera is bound to a waxy crust or cuticle, and its vascular tissues transport minerals as well as water from the soil. Aloe Vera is being used as a major skin rejuvenating product, although it has varied medicinal properties also. In the present study, an attempt to make a method to create bi-layer tablets of Aloe-Vera, utilizing 3D printing techniques is presented. The method created doesnt affect the integral functional characteristics of the tablet. The method here contains creating an immediate release and sustained release tablet for making the Aloe-Vera to be used directly by the person for its numerous health effects. The tablet is designed so to be consumed by vegans as well since it is completely herbal.

Highlights

  • With very less stem or without the stem that grows to 100- 60 centimeters in height, Aloe-Vera / ghritkumari / gwarpatha/ Kumari/ or spreading through offset

  • The tablets composed of semi-solid polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol released the medication completely in less than 10 minutes, whereas those made of polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer (PVP-VA) released the drug slightly slowly [16]

  • Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SSC) needed excipients, which were mixed minimum for 30 minutes of time interval, along with the Aloe-Vera powder intended for immediate release layer

Summary

Introduction

With very less stem or without the stem that grows to 100- 60 centimeters in height, Aloe-Vera / ghritkumari / gwarpatha/ Kumari/ or spreading through offset. For the preparation of different drugs, the internal portion of the leaf containing gel and latex is utilized. It is composed of vitamin B12, B6, B2, B1, A, niacine & folic acid. Various researches proven that 3D printed tablets through lower infill density possess faster drug release because of their higher surface area [19,20]. These studies proposed that 3D printing could be utilized to fabricate customized medicine through manipulating the infill density of a tablet
