OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to use the solid dispersion (SD) technique to improve the dissolution rates of indomethacin (IMC). MATERIALS AND METHODS IMC solid dispersions in PVP K30 and isomalt (GALEN IQ 990) were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and a hot melt method in weight ratios of 2, 10 and 30% (IMC:PVP). Solid dispersions and physical mixtures were ...

(2015) Combination of (M)DSC and surface analysis to study the phase behaviour and drug distribution of ternary solid dispersions. The Nottingham ePrints service makes this work by researchers of the University of Nottingham available open access under the following conditions.

the present study investigates the possibility of using poloxamers as solubility and dissolution rate enhancing agents of poorly water soluble bioactive constituent patchouli alcohol (pa) that can be used for the preparation of immediate release pellets formulation. two commercially available grades poloxamer 188 (p 188) and poloxamer 407 (p 407) were selected, and solid dispersions (sds) conta...

Meloxicam is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and oestoarthritis. It is practically insoluble in water leading to poor dissolution, variations in bioavailability and gastric irritation on oral administration. In order to modulate its gastric side effect and to increase aqueous solubility, physical mixture and solid dispersion of the drug were...
