Tableting by direct compression (DC) is one of the simplest and most cost-effective drug manufacturing approaches. However, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) excipients lack flow properties required to meet needs high-speed industrial tablet presses. Therefore, majority DC APIs are modified via processing/co-processing particle engineering techniques boost their properties. Spray drying ...

BACKGROUND Derivatized celluloses, such as methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), are of pharmaceutical importance and extensively employed in tablet matrices. Each batch of derivatized cellulose is thoroughly characterized before utilized in tablet formulations as batch-to-batch differences can affect drug release. The substitution pattern of the derivatized cellulose p...

An easy and sensitive method for the quantitative determination of ofloxacin (OFLX), a new fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent, in a pharmaceutical formulation, tablet, was developed by using solid-substrate room-temperature phosphorimetry (RTP) on a poly(vinyl alcohol) substrate. The method did not require a dry gas flush during the measurement of phosphorescence. The influence of different co...

In recent days the use of fast mouth dissolving tablets are well accepted by elderly, children and the patients having trouble in swallowing and even by the travelling patients who find it convenient to ingest. Cinnarizine is a piperazine derivative and is widely prescribed for the treatment of vestibular disorders and motion sickness. To enhance the anti-emetic and anti-migraine properties of ...

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing is an important enterprise and oral tablet manufacturing is the most significant of all, because more drugs are made as tablets than any other dosage form. The way of tablet manufacturing has been undergoing change in recent years and is likely to head in new directions. In this study Tinospora cordifolia (guduchi) a freely available, a climbing shrub belonging to t...

BACKGROUND The production of house dust mite (HDM) allergen products for allergy immunotherapy has traditionally been based on purified mite bodies or whole-mite culture, which are quite different source materials with a limited possibility for adjusting the chemical composition. The SQ HDM SLIT-tablet is a fast-dissolving pharmaceutical formulation that has been developed for sublingual immuno...

Abstract: Cilazapril is a drug commonly used in management of heart failure in pediatric population. On pharmaceutical market it is available only in inconvenient for pediatric use tablet dosage forms. Until now, no oral liquid formulation containing cilazapril has been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to prepare easy to made and palatable 1 mg/mL oral liquid formulation with cil...

It is an important medicinal plant that has been used in Ayurvedic and indigenous medicine for over 3,000 years. Ashwagandha roots are a constituent of over 200 formulations in Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani medicine, which are used in ...

Objective: Chemometric assisted spectrophotometry, and HPLC methods have been developed for the simultaneous determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride (PEPH), paracetamol (PCM), guaifenesin (GNF), chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) and bromhexine hydrochloride (BRM). Methods: The chromatographic separation was carried out on a Phenomenex RPC18 column. An isocratic elution was carried out with th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the compaction property of several pharmaceutical materials by measuring the die wall pressure. The profile of die wall force during tabletting process was measured with the compaction process analyzer (TabAll). Several compaction parameters such as maximum die wall pressure (MDP), residual die wall pressure (RDP) and pressure transmission ratio (PTR) from ...
