Las dosificaciones existentes en el mercado presentan unas dosis de 150 mg de isoniazida y 300 mg de rifampicina.The association of rifampicin and isoniazid in the form of hard gelatin capsules and dragees is known. The dosages in the market have doses of 150 mg of isoniazid and 300 mg of rifampicin.
Las cápsulas de gelatina dura presentan problemas relacionados con su ingestión, elaboración compleja, elevado coste de producción, restricciones de empleo de productos que reaccionen, disuelvan o permeabilicen a la gelatina, y requieren unas condiciones de almacenamiento muy estrictas porque son muy sensibles a variaciones en la temperatura y humedad ambiental. Las grageas también presentan inconvenientes relacionados con su dificultad de ingestión y con una biodisponibilidad cuestionada .Hard gelatin capsules present problems related to their ingestion, complex elaboration, high production cost, restrictions on the use of products that react, dissolve or permeabilize the gelatin, and require very strict storage conditions because they are very sensitive to variations in temperature and humidity. Dragees also have drawbacks related to their difficulty of ingestion and a questionable bioavailability.
Por otra parte, el tratamiento de la tuberculosis a base de rifampicina e isoniazida, es un tratamiento muy largo, que requiere la ingesta diaria de numerosas cápsulas o grageas, con las relativamente bajas dosificaciones de principios activos mencionadas previamente, que, en ocasiones conduce al paciente a un incumplimiento, o incluso al abandono, del tratamiento indicado por el especialista, lo que reduce la eficacia del tratamiento terapéutico. De igual forma, la pirazinamida se presenta en el mercado en forma de comprimidos de 250 mg, cantidad ésta muy alejada de la. dosis única diaria de 1.500 mg. Esto hace que, aparte de las desventajas ya mencionadas para rifampicina e isoniazida, haya que añadir la que supone ingerir como rαinimo 6 comprimidos diarios de pirazinamida para cumplir la pauta terapéutica.On the other hand, the treatment of tuberculosis based on rifampicin and isoniazid, is a very long treatment, which requires the daily intake of numerous capsules or dragees, with the relatively low dosages of active ingredients mentioned previously, which sometimes leads to patient to a breach, or even abandonment, of the treatment indicated by the specialist, which reduces the effectiveness of the therapeutic treatment. Similarly, pyrazinamide is presented in the market in the form of 250 mg tablets, an amount that is very far from the. single daily dose of 1,500 mg. This means that, apart from the aforementioned disadvantages for rifampicin and isoniazid, it is necessary to add that which involves eating at least 6 daily pyrazinamide tablets to comply with the therapeutic guideline.

A continuación, se suben las rpm de la mezcladora a 120 rpm y se añade la solución aglutinante recién preparada a la granuladora-mezcladora muy lentamente. Cuando se ha añadido toda la solución aglutinante, se pone en marcha el triturador a 1.400 rpm manteniendo la mezcladora a 120 rpm hasta obtener un empaste adecuado, aproximadamente 6 minutos. Transcurrido ese tiempo, el producto se retira, se seca en lecho fluido a 40°C durante aproximadamente 15 minutos hasta alcanzar una humedad menor del 0,8% y se tamiza por una malla de 237 μ .Next, the rpm of the mixer is raised to 120 rpm and the freshly prepared binder solution is added to the granulator-mixer very slowly. When all the binder solution has been added, the shredder is started at 1,400 rpm keeping the mixer at 120 rpm until a suitable filling is obtained, approximately 6 minutes. After that time, the product is removed, dried in a fluidized bed at 40 ° C for approximately 15 minutes to reach a humidity of less than 0.8% and sieved through a 237 μ mesh.
1.2 Preparación del granulado final Esta operación se realiza en habitación de temperatura y humedad controlada [temperatura < 30°C, humedad relativa < 25%] .1.2 Preparation of the final granulate This operation is carried out in room temperature and controlled humidity [temperature <30 ° C, relative humidity <25%].
El granulo P tamizado obtenido en la etapa 1.1 se pesa y se mezcla con rifampicina en una relación, en peso, granuloThe sieved P granule obtained in step 1.1 is weighed and mixed with rifampin in a ratio, by weight, granule
P: rifampicina de 4318:630, es decir, la cantidad de rifampicina a añadir, en kg, es el resultado de multiplicar la cantidad de granulo P (en kg) por 630 y dividir entre 4318.P: rifampicin of 4318: 630, that is, the amount of rifampin to be added, in kg, is the result of multiplying the amount of granule P (in kg) by 630 and dividing by 4318.
En un mezclador se adicionan 1,890 kg de rifampicina y 0,1560 kg de lauril sulfato sódico, se mezclan durante 10 minutos y, a continuación, se añaden, aproximadamente, 1,87 kg de granulo P, y se mezcla durante 10 minutos, y, seguidamente, se añade el resto del granulo P y se vuelve a mezclar durante 10 minutos.In a mixer 1,890 kg of rifampicin and 0.1560 kg of sodium lauryl sulfate are added, mixed for 10 minutes and then approximately 1.87 kg of granule P are added, and mixed for 10 minutes, and Then, the rest of the granule P is added and mixed again for 10 minutes.
Una vez finalizado el proceso de homogeneización, se recoge el granulado sobre unos barriles con doble bolsa de plástico y bolsa de gel de sílice entre ambos, tomándose muestras para determinar el contenido de rifampicina, isoniazida, pirazinamida y piridoxina hidrocloruro, y la humedad (< 2% especificado) .Once the homogenization process is finished, the granules are collected on barrels with a double plastic bag and a silica gel bag between them, taking samples to determine the content of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and pyridoxine hydrochloride, and humidity (< 2% specified).
El granulado obtenido tiene un color rojo oscuro que, reconstituido con agua, rinde una dispersión homogénea de sabor agradable. Adicionalmente, el granulado presenta los siguientes parámetros far acotécnicos : ngulo de fluidez: 39,9° pH (reconstituido): 4,9 (aproximadamente) Densidad aparente: 0,533 g/ml Densidad real: 0,642 g/mlThe granulate obtained has a dark red color that, reconstituted with water, yields a homogeneous dispersion of pleasant taste.
