The main objective of the present study was to formulate gastroretentive effervescent sustained release drug delivery systems of risperidone floating tablets with the help of Methocel® K15, Ethocel® standard 7FP premium, Eudragit ® RS100 sustained release polymers to improve its safety profile, bioavailability and patient compliance. Risperidone floating tablets were formulated by wet granulati...

intravitreal injection is the most common approach for drug delivery to the posterior segment in humans. however, following the injection, drugs are rapidly eliminated from the vitreous, with half-lives up to a few days. depending on the rate of clearance from the vitreous, large boluses and frequent administrations may be required to ensure therapeutic levels over an extended period of time. m...

Background and aim: Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease. Although history and physical examination are important in diagnosis of allergen, because of extent of environmental allergens, those are not simply recognized. The objective of this study was to determine allergens in patients with contact or atopic dermatitis referred to Razi hospital.Materials and Meth...

conclusions after paravertebral implantation of rifapentine polylactic acid sustained-release microspheres, the concentration of rifapentine in local vertebral bone tissues was maintained above the tb minimum inhibitory concentration for up to 60 days with no apparent accumulation of the drug in other tissues. methods this study is a basic animal experimental study that began on july 17, 2014 i...

oral ph sensitive drug delivery systems are of utmost importance as these systems deliver the drug at specific part of the gastrointestine (gi) as per the ph of gi, resulting in improved patient therapeutic efficacy and compliance. the ph range of fluids in various segments of the gi tract may provide environmental stimuli for drug release. the aim of this study was to design buoyant beads cont...

The aim of this study was to develop a derivative of chitosan as pharmaceutical excipient used in sustained-release matrix tablets of poorly soluble drugs. A water-soluble quaternary ammonium carboxymethylchitosan was synthesized by a two-step reaction with carboxymethylchitosan (CMCTS), decylalkyl dimethyl ammonium and epichlorohydrin. The elemental analysis showed that the target product with...
