ABSTRACT
Herbal medicine is usually
made using dry powdered herbs in the form of capsule. Capsule form
herbal supplement suffers lower shelf life as compared to compact
herbal powder in tablet form. In this study, Diabecine™, a blend
of herbal medicine traditionally used as herbal supplement for diabetic
patients was selected and transformed into a compressed tablet.
Direct compression method and minimal usage of excipients were the
aims of this study. By using direct compression, the blend of 40%
fine powder herbs and 60% of excipients performed the best and fulfill
the pharmaceutical standard. The safety data of microbial and heavy
metal testing obtained met the safety requirements for herbal supplement
category under the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau of Malaysia.
In conclusion, the tablet formulation of Diabecine™ is suitable to be manufactured
by using direct compression method. This research implicates the
possibility of producing tablets with high dose of herbal powder
by direct compression method.

ABSTRAK
Ubat herba biasanya diperbuat
daripada serbuk kering herba dalam bentuk kapsul. Suplemen herba
dalam bentuk kapsul mempunyai jangka hayat yang lebih rendah berbanding
dengan serbuk herba yang dipadat dalam bentuk tablet. Dalam kajian
ini, Diabecine™, satu campuran ubat herba yang digunakan secara
tradisi sebagai suplemen herba untuk pesakit kencing manis telah
dipilih dan diubah menjadi mampatan tablet. Kaedah pemampatan terus
dan penggunaan eksipien yang minimum adalah matlamat kajian ini.
Dengan menggunakan pemampatan terus, campuran mencapai prestasi
yang terbaik dan memenuhi piawaian farmaseutik. Data keselamatan
ujian mikrob dan logam berat yang diperoleh telah memenuhi keperluan
keselamatan bagi kategori suplemen herba di bawah Biro Pengawalan
Farmaseutik Kebangsaan Malaysia. Kesimpulannya, formulasi tablet
Diabecine™ adalah
sesuai untuk dimampatkan dengan menggunakan kaedah pemampatan terus.
Kajian ini mengimplikasikan kemungkinan untuk menghasilkan tablet
dengan dos serbuk herba yang tinggi dengan kaedah pemampatan terus.
