Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs), also known as fast melts, quick melts, fast disintegrating and orodispersible systems, have the unique property of disintegrating in the mouth in seconds without chewing and the need of water and are thus assumed to improve patient compliance. Conventional methods like direct compression, wet granulation, moulding, spray-drying, freeze-drying and sublimatio...

The chemical name of the title compound in the paper by Hu & Wang [Acta Cryst. (2009), E65, o392] is corrected and the structural diagram is updated.[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1107/S1600536809002608.].

The purpose of this research was to develop an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) dosage form containing taste-masked beads of clindamycin HCl. Several formulation strategies were evaluated and a taste-masked ODT of clindamycin HCl was prepared without the use of a waxy cushioning agent. Clindamycin HCl (ca. 46% w/w) was coated onto microcrystalline cellulose beads (Cellets® 200) followed by th...

Amphetamine (AMP), an indirectly acting psychostimulant approved for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults, is among the most long-standing therapeutic agents in all of clinical psychopharmacology. This review focuses on AMP absorption, metabolism, and elimination brought to bear on comparative pharmacokinetics in its various formu...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: There is inconsistent evidence on using antiemetic drugs (ondansetron and domperidone) in children with vomiting associated gastroenteritis having dehydration. The study's objective was to compare the effectiveness of oral domperidone ondansetron for treating during acute either mild or moderate dehydration.
 METHODOLOGY: This non-controlled quasi-experimental s...
