the present investigation was focused to formulate semi-solid capsules (sscs) of hydrophobic drug telmisartan (tlms) by encapsulating semi-solid matrix of its solid dispersion (sd) in hpmc capsules. the combinational approach was used to reduce the lag time in drug release and improvise its dissolution. sds of tlms was prepared using hot fusion method by varying the combinations of pluronic-f68...

carbamazepine belongs to the class ii biopharmaceutical classification system (bcs) which is characterized by a high per-oral dose, a low aqueous solubility and a high membrane permeability. the bioavailability of such a drug is limited by the dissolution rate. in order to increase the drug dissolution, its solid dispersions were prepared by the cogrinding technique using an insoluble but highl...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (peg) molecular weights (6000, 12000 and 20000) as solid dispersion (sd) carriers on the dissolution behavior of simvastatin. sds with various drug : carrier ratios were prepared by solvent method and evaluated for dissolution rate. differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), x-ray diffraction (xrd), infrared spe...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...

INTRODUCTION Prednisolone is a class II substance according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. It is a poorly water soluble agent. The aim of the present study was to improve dissolution rate of a poorly water-soluble drug, prednisolone, by a solid dispersion technique. METHODS Solid dispersion of prednisolone was prepared with PEG 6000 or different carbohydrates such as lactose a...

Nimodipine (NMP), a Ca channel blocker, has a low oral bioavailability due to poor solubility and insufficient dissolution rate. In order to improve the same, various techniques were employed viz., evaporative precipitation into aqueous solution (EPAS), spherical agglomeration (SA) and solid dispersion using solvent evaporation and meltmixing. Formulations so prepared were characterised by diff...

The purpose of this investigation was to prepare a gastro retentive drug delivery system of famotidine tablets. Floating tablets of famotidine were prepared employing lipid solid dispersion spray drying technique with gelucire 50/13 and compritol 888 along with HPMC K100M, lactose, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The floating tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, hardness, friabi...
