Anaphylaxis After Ingesting Ibuprofen Liquid Gelatin-Capsule
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used daily by millions of patients worldwide for the management of various inflammatory diseases. Many well-documented adverse reactions are related to the use of these drugs. We report a fifty-four year-old woman with anaphylaxis after ingestion of ibuprofen liquid in a gelatin capsule. Eventually this was concluded to have resulted from hypersensitivity to the gelatin component of the capsule, which was likely IgE-mediated because of the positive skin test to gelatin. Gelatin allergy is only relevant for patients ingesting specific capsule formulation. The allergist/clinical immunologist must keep in mind the possibility of gelatin allergy.

Gas-phase distribution and emission of chloropicrin applied in gelatin capsules to soil columns.
Chloropicrin (CP) is highly volatile and may pose strong exposure risks for humans and the environment. A gelatin capsule formulation was developed to reduce atmospheric CP emissions and to improve application safety. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution, atmospheric emissions, and soil residual of CP after application in gelatin capsules to soil columns. Two treatments...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ibuprofen Release from Gelatin /Hydroxyapatite /Polylactic Acid Nanocomposites
Gelatin-hydroxyapatite-polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites were synthesized using five different formulations. The nanocomposites were loaded with ibuprofen and the amount of drug in the carriers was determined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was conducted before and after drug loading to ensure the presence of ibuprofen on the nanocomposites. Drug delivery was evaluated in phosphate buffere...
متن کاملComparative study of sustained-release lipid microparticles and solid dispersions containing ibuprofen
Ibuprofen is one of the most important non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In its pure state, ibuprofen presents poor physical and mechanical characteristics and its use in solid dosage forms needs the addition of excipients that improve these properties. The selection of the best excipients and the most suitable pharmaceutical dosage form to ca...

The aim of this study was to monitor the drug release of ibuprofen sustained-release capsules in real time in situ. A mathematical separation model of dynamic three-wavelength K-ratio spectrophotometry was established to eliminate the interference of gelatin capsule shells when drug release was monitored by a fiber-optic drug dissolution in situ test system. A control experiment with high perfo...
