this study was performed to design bilayer regioselective floating tablets of atenolol and lovastatin to give immediate release of lovastatin and sustained release of atenolol. bilayer floating tablets comprised two layers, i.e immediate release and controlled release layers. the immediate release layer comprised sodium starch glycollate as a super disintegrant and the sustained release layer c...

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 ...

the release of fe from soil solid phases into soil solution is a dynamic process that regulates the continuous supply of this element to growing plants. to ascertain the pattern of fe release, the kinetics of fe release from six soils by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (dtpa) solution were investigated using soil samples taken from two different agroclimatic regions of iran. all soils were c...

objective: evidence shows that the powder/liquid mixing ratio recommended by the manufacturers is often not respected when mixing the glass ionomer (gi) powder and liquid, yielding a gi cement with disproportionate powder/liquid ratio. considering the confirmed effect of powder/liquid ratio on the gi properties, and more importantly, its fluoride release potential, this study aimed to assess th...
