ABSTRACT

The present investigation was to develop Dolutegravir controlled release 250 mg matrix tablets. Dolutegravir is a second generation HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). Six formulations of Dolutegravir 250 mg were formulated by direct comparison using different polymers like Hupu gum, Gum Karaya & HPMC were used as rate controlling step. The formulation F2 was selected as an optimised formulation because it gives best results in terms in vitro drug release in controlled manner.
