Designing an appropriate dosage form in medical treatment for the pediatric population is very challenging. The major challenges faced during designing oral solid pediatrics are also prerequisites development of form, and they are, administering drug according to body weight taste masking, which followed by other factors like safety excipients, size so on. Oral forms mini-tablets, soluble films...

the objective of the study was to compare pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of gliclazide after administration of immediate (ir) and modified release (mr) tablets. the experiment included rats with both normoglyceamia and streptozocin (stz)-induced hyperglyceamia. several mr formulations were designed and in vitro drug release profile was assessed by a dissolution test. for the fur...

The objectives of present investigation were to achieve immediate release of paracetamol and tailored release of diclofenac sodium from bi-layer tablets. A 2(3) full factorial design was adopted using the amount of polyethylene glycol, microcrystalline cellulose and crospovidone as independent variables for fabricating paracetamol tablets. Diclofenac sodium tablets were prepared using hydroxypr...

Purpose: To develop sustained release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (DTZ) using modified karaya gum (MK). Methods: MK was prepared by cross-linking karaya gum with tri-sodium tri-metaphosphate (STMP) which was used as a cross-linker. Matrix tablets of DTZ were prepared using varying ratios of unmodified karaya gum (K) and MK by direct compression. The matrix tablets were evaluated f...

in this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol hcl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol hcl along with various amounts of carbopols 934 (c934), 971 (c971), 974 (c974) and pemulen (pem) were prepared using the wet gr...

This article presents data on the export of raw materials and results pharmacological studies caper buds for use in pharmaceutical industry. For this, volumes products last 2 years were studied preclinical aqueous-alcoholic extract obtained from local plant carried out comparison with reference preparations. As a result, has reliable hypoglycemic activity comparable to preparation “Gluqueir” ca...

Chewable modified release tablets containing two active ingredients vitamin C (200mg) and Sodium Fluoride (2mg) were formulated for the treatment of dental diseases. Other ingredients include Mannitol, Carbopol and Hydroxyl-Propyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), in different ratios. These tablets were prepared by direct mixing of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), vitamin C, Sodium Fluoride, Carbopo...

Opipramol 2-HCl (OP) is used for therapy of general somatoform and anxiety disorders. Conventional tablets in the market contain 50 mg OP to be used once or up to three times a day in effective treatment of depression in mild. In case of serious depressive disorders, OP may be administired up to 300 mg a day. Decrease in frequency of high dose administration via sustained drug release would red...

the influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. for this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of carbopol 934p, 971p, 974p, pemulen and eudragit rlpo as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. pvp, avicel or ...

frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. in the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...
