Dissolution testing of the drug formulation introduced in 1960 since then the importance of dissolution test has grown rapidly as have the number of tests and demands in quality control laboratories. Dissolution testing is an official test used by pharmacopeias for evaluating drug release of solid and semisolid dosage forms. The main applications of the dissolution testing include biopharmaceut...

Simple, accurate, precise, and rapid extractive spectrophotometric method was developed for the estimation of gatifloxacin (I) and cefotaxime sodium (II) in both pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. The method was based on the formation of colored complex by the drugs with Eriochrome black-T in an acidic medium. The ion-associated complex formed was quantitatively extracted under the experimen...

Objective: The present work was undertaken with the aim to develop and validate a rapid and consistent RP-HPLC method in which the peaks will be appear with short period of time as per ICH Guidelines. Methods: The proposed method was simple, fast, accurate and precise method for the Quantification of drug in the dosage form, bulk drug as well as for routine analysis in Quality control. Reversed...

This study is a synthesis of the main results of the Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos (PNAUM - National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines), Evaluation Component of the Basic Pharmaceutical Services. Based on the critical narrative of the elements of Brazil's pharmaceutical policies, we discuss aspects related to...

BACKGROUND The Italian Ministry of Health decided to introduce community professional services in 2010. This trial provides an opportunity to evaluate the outcomes of a new professional pharmacy service: Italian Medicines Use Review (I-MUR) aimed at reducing the severity of asthma and its associated costs. METHODS/DESIGN This is a cluster randomised controlled trial of the I-MUR service. Data...

Tablet is the most popular among all dosage forms existing today because of its convenience of self administration, compactness and easy manufacturing; however in many cases immediate onset of action is required than conventional therapy. To overcome these drawbacks, immediate release pharmaceutical dosage form has emerged as alternative oral dosage forms. There are novel types of dosage forms ...

There are many ways to coat tablets. Coatings are a very important part in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve excellent formulation quality (e.g., color, texture, mouth feel, and taste masking), physical and chemical protection for the drugs in the dosage forms, and modification of drug release characteristics. Most film coatings are applied as aqueous or organic-based pol...

The objective of this work is to present a review of computational tools and models for pharmaceutical processes, specifically those for the continuous manufacture of solid dosage forms. Relevant mathematical methods and simulation techniques are discussed, as is the development of process models for solids-handling unit operations. Continuous processing is of particular interest in the current...
