Characterization of Recrystallized Carbamazepine Using Acetone as Solvent

Carbamazepine is used as a first line drug in seizure treatment. It is classified as BCS class II according to the Biopharmaceutical classification system which means that carbamazepine has high membrane permeability and low water solubility. This makes dissolution the rate limiting process in carbamazepine absorption. Thus crystallization of carbamazepine using the solvent acetone was chosen to increase dissolution rates and improve the...
