Six different formulations of Zolmitriptan mouth dissolving tablets were prepared by using direct compression technique by using different concentrations of AC-Di-Sol, Avicel pH 101 and strlac. Tablets were evaluated for different precompression and post compression parameters of tablets were carried out and the results satisfies according to the pharmacopoeia specifications. Other parameters such as drug-excipients compatibility were also evaluated through IR and DSC study.IR and DSC studies revelled that there is no interaction between drug and different excipients used in formulation.
