Shifts from print media to electronic media may be regarded as a possibility for promoting sustainability. However, the benefits of electronic media are not unquestioned. Previous studies on the environmental impacts of print and electronic media have shown that there is no easy answer. Contributing to this field of research, the present study sought to assess the climate change impact of the t...

In present study, mucoadhesive vaginal tablet of sertaconazole was designed using a combination of mucoadhesive polymers like Carbopol 934P, chitosan, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose. Effervescent was incorporated into formulations to enhance swellabilty of mucoadhesive tablet. For various drug-free form...

A major challenge in the development of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is to achieve a good balance between tablet hardness and disintegration time. In this study, an advanced method was demonstrated to improve these opposing properties in a molded tablet using a one-step procedure that exploits the swelling induced by microwave treatment. Wet molded tablets consisting of the delta form o...

Advance in novel drug delivery system aims to enhance the safety and efficacy of the drug molecule by formulating a dosage form being for the administration. 1 Difficulty in swallowing is experienced by patient such as pediatric, geriatric, bedridden, disabled and mentally ill, including motion sickness and sudden episodes of allergic attacks, hence resulting in higher incidence of non-complian...

BACKGROUND Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic which has a short half-life in human. The frequent administration of amoxicillin is often required to keep the plasma drug level in an effective range. The short dosing interval of amoxicillin could also cause some side effects and drug resistance, and impair its therapeutic efficacy and patients' compliance. Therefore, a three-pulse release ...

PURPOSE Sublingual buprenorphine and combination buprenorphine/naloxone (BNX) are effective options for the treatment of opioid dependence. A BNX sublingual tablet approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the induction and maintenance treatment of opioid-dependence in adults was developed as a higher-bioavailability formulation, allowing for a 30% lesser dose of buprenorphine with bi...

infection with hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a worldwide problem. among hcv proteins, core antigen (ag), besides its importance for diagnostic application is a prime candidate for component of a vaccine. herein, we report results of studies on production of the hydrophilic domain of core ag (2-122) in native conformation by an arabinose induction system in e.coli and the primary characterization o...

_____________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of slow-release α-amylase in ruminal in vitro digestion of maize and sorghum grains. Digestibility was measured using an in vitro procedure with 40 mL of buffer and 10 mL of ruminal fluid, flushed with CO2 and incubated at 39 °C. The digestibility of sor...

Controlled release (CR) Ciprofloxacin (CFX) matrix tablets were prepared using Ciprofloxacin betaine as a model drug and Kollidon SR as a core matrix former. Kollidon SR embedded CFX matrix tablets were then characterized with Carbopol 974P NF, Cetyl alcohol, Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC 4.5 cps). CFX release was 74% after 10 hours dissolution in 0.01 N HCl solution from the tablets con...

Terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) is a recent and nondestructive technique to quantify coating thickness of pharmaceutical tablet film coatings. In this study, TPI is used for the first time to quantify the progress of an active coating process. The dosage form consisted of a push-pull osmotic system comprising a two-layer tablet core with a functional film coating and a laser drilled hole. On top...
