Effect of terbutaline sulphate in chronic "allergic" cough.

Effect of terbutaline sulphate in chronic "allergic" cough.

The effects of terbutaline sulphate were studied in 30 patients who presented with chronic cough at an allergy clinic. After a three week baseline period terbutaline and its placebo were given for two periods of three weeks each in a randomised, double blind, crossover manner. Patients kept a daily record of day and night cough scores and peak expiratory flow readings. Twenty one patients respo...

Transdermal Formulation of Terbutaline Sulphate

Transdermal matrix type patches of terbutaline sulphate were fabricated using ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate polymer. The highest release rate was observed from CP3 and EP2 patches. Transdermal patches CP3 and EP2 were found to be physically stable with regard to drug content, tensile strength, folding endurance, thickness, and weight variation. The drug permeation from both the patches ...

Asymmetric Membrane Osmotic Capsules for Terbutaline Sulphate

The aim of the present study was to design an asymmetric membrane capsule, an osmotic pump-based drug delivery system of ethyl cellulose for controlled release of terbutaline sulphate. asymmetric membrane capsules contains pore-forming water soluble additive, sorbitol in different concentrations in the capsule shell membrane, which after coming in contact with water, dissolves, resulting in an ...

Liposomes of terbutaline sulphate: in vitro and in vivo studies.

In vitro studies were conducted to understand the comparative drug diffusion pattern, across artificial membrane, of the drug and of the prepared liposomes of different liposomal membrane composition. In vivo studies were carried out to determine the extent and time-course of pulmonary tissue uptake of administered liposomes containing terbutaline sulphate(TER) on rat lungs. In vitro studies re...
