The present research proving the Propylene glycol, Avicel PH 101 and Aerosil PH 200 suitable for the liquisolid tablets i.e. resulting highest dissolution rate due to the wettability , producing of the super saturated microenvironment around the tablets and good flow properties by changing the 5:1 to 10:1 excipient ratio ( R ). All Simvastatin liquisolid tablets were showing the highest dissolution rate (99.9%) within the 60 minutes comparison with the direct compressed tablets and marketed tablets.
