The present study involves preparation and evaluation of gastric-mucoadhesive microparticles with Metformin Hydrochloride as model drug for prolongation of gastric residence time. The microparticles were prepared by the emulsification solvent evaporation technique using polymers of Carbomer 934p (C) and Ethylcellulose (EC). The microparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation method...

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 ...

Drug delivery via buccal mucosa by means of buccoadhesive formulations offer distinct advantages over peroral administration. Recently, plant gums and exudates have been screened for their use as pharmaceutical adjuvants. The aim of this study is to evaluate matrix tablets containing Plantago psyllium seed mucilage in addition to carbopol as a mucoadhesive agent, and propranolol hydrochloride a...

The aim of the study was to develop and physicochemicaly characterize single unit controlled delivery system of Theophylline and was formulated as floating matrix tablet by direct compression method using gas generating agent (sodium bicarbonate) and various viscosity grades of hydrophilic polymers (HPMC K15M, K4M; HPC and Carbapol 934P). Formulation was optimized on the basis of buoyancy and i...

The present study describes the preparation and evaluation of a poloxamer 407 (P407)-based thermoreversible gel using Carbopol 934P (C934P) as a mucoadhesive polymer and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) for enhancing the aqueous solubility and intranasal absorption of fexofenadine hydrochloride (FXD HCl). The prepared gels were characterized by gelation temperature, viscoelasticity, and d...

Previously microspheres containing metformin hydrochloride were prepared by using two different methods viz. ionotropic gelation and solvent evaporation method. In this study, acute toxicity studies were investigated in male albino rats following oral administration of the microspheres. The rats were carefully observed for any clinical signs for seven days, and gross observations of the organs ...

A new drug delivery system for H2 receptor antagonist Ranitidine hydrochloride, was developed utilizing both the concepts of adhesiveness and of flotation, in order to obtain a unique drug delivery system which could remain in the stomach for a much longer period of tim Floating-Mucoadesive tablets of Ranitidine hydrochloride were developed to prolong its release and improve bioavailability. Ra...

The purpose of present investigation was to develop and optimize bucco mucoadhesive bilayered tablets of Propranolol hydrochloride (PrHCL) using the bioadhesive polymers hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), xanthan gum (XG) and acrypol 934P (AL-P) individually and in combination along with ethyl cellulose (EC) as an impermeable backing layer. The 3 full factorial design was employed by ...
