In various solid dosage forms, starches are widely employed as multipurpose excipients especially as fillers, disintegrants, and binders due to their versatility, ready availability, cheapness and inertness. In recent years pharmaceutical scientists have been paying increasing attention to the extraction, development and use of starches in the formulation of dosage forms. The objectives of the work were to formulate paracetamol tablets using co-precipitated starch from corn and rice as binder and disintegrants, and to compare the disintegrant properties of the starch co-precipitate with a super disintegrant and evaluate the properties of the tablets.
