Reaction Steps

Effervescent Tablets and Granules were prepared using standards techniques known to persons skilled in the art. For Example: From one 20 mg duloxetine capsule, granules were emptied into mortar and pestle to prepare fine powder. A homogeneous mixture of effervescent duloxetine powder was obtained by diluting the above powdered duloxetine with about 958 mg sodium bicarbonate USP, about 832 mg citric acid USP and about 312 mg potassium carbonate USP. This powder reacted with the 60 ml water to create effervescence resulting in a bubbling solution of duloxetine with sodium citrate and potassium citrate as principal antacids
