The compatibility between ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CFX) and some excipients was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Physical mixture, coground mixture, compressed mixture and kneaded mixture were prepared to study the effect of sample manipulation. In addition, the samples of physical mixture were also accelerated at 55 degrees C for three weeks to obtain more reliable conclusions. Different types of excipients currently used in tablet or capsule formulations namely, calcium phosphate dibasic dihydrate (Emcompress), magnesium stearate lactose, sorbitol, mannitol, croscarmellose sodium (Ac-Di-Sol), sodium carboxymethyl starch (Primojel), microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH 101, Emcocil) were examined. The DSC scan of CFX displayed two endothermic peaks probably as a result of a fusion process followed by a decomposition process. CFX appeared to interact with sorbitol, mannitol, Ac-Di-Sol, Primojel, Avicel PH 101 and Emcocil.
