Inactive ingredients are edible ink (which contains synthetic black iron oxide, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Blue No. 2, FD&C Yellow No. 6, D&C Yellow No. 10, FD&C Red No. 40), ethylcellulose, gelatin, pharmaceutical glaze, colloidal silicon dioxide, starch, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide, and coloring agents: 100 mg includes FD&C Yellow No. 6; 200 mg FD&C Red No. 3 and D&C Yellow No. 10; 300 mg FD&C...

In this study, the effects of various hydrophilic (HPMC and Carbopol 971) and plastic (Ethylcellulose and Eudragit RL100) polymers on the release profile of diltiazem HCl from matrix tablets were evaluated in-vitro. For this purpose, tablets containing 60 mg of diltiazem HCl along with various amounts of the aforementioned polymers were prepared using the wet granulation technique. Tablets prep...

This article demonstrated development of controlled release system of an NSAID drug, Diclofenac sodium employing different ratios of Ethyl cellulose. Diclofenac sodium and ethyl cellulose in different proportions were processed by microencapsulation based on phase separation technique to formulate microcapsules. The prepared microcapsules were then compressed into tablets to obtain controlled r...

An earlier safety assessment of several cellulose polymers has been expanded to include cellulose itself and other cellulose polymers used in cosmetics. In general, these ingredients are modified cellulose polymers formed by reaction with the free hydroxyl groups in cellulose. The number of hydroxyl groups reacting, as well as the nature of the substitute group, largely determine the physical p...

This article introduced the work of ethylcellulose based polymeric microsphere loaded with nifedipine for reduction in frequency of administration with low solubility in aqueous medium and high rate of absorption in the stomach. The non-aqueous polymeric suspension was put dropwise into an aqueous medium containing polyvinyl alcohol as a surfactant for the synthesis of microsphere by solvent ev...

objective(s) theophylline, a xanthenes derivative, is still widely used as an effective bronchodilator in the management of asthmatic patients. it is used both as a prophylactic drug and to prevent acute exacerbations of asthma. the aim of study was to formulate and evaluate effect of the microencapsulation of theophylline loaded nanoparticles on the reduction of burst release. materials and me...
