The present research was aimed to develop and characterize a sustained release dry powder inhalable formulation of salbutamol sulphate. The salbutamol sulphate microparticles were prepared by solvent evaporation method using biodegradable polymer poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) to produce salbutamol sulphate microparticle mixed with carrier respirable grade lactose for oral inhalation of dry...

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of a highly water/soluble drug, salbutamol sulphate by (water in oil) in oil emulsion technique using ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. Various processing and formulation parameters such as drug/polymer ratio, stirring speed, volume of processing medium were optimized to maximize the e...

A simple reverse phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed and subsequently validated for simultaneous determination of salbutamol sulphate and bromhexine hydrochloride. The separation was carried out using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile, methanol and phosphate buffer, pH 4 in the ratio 60:20:20 v/v. The column used was SS Wakosil-II C-18 with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and...

the present investigation deals with the development of controlled release tablets of salbutamol sulphate using graft copolymers (st-g-pmma and ast-g-pmma) of starch and acetylated starch. drug excipient compatibility was spectroscopically analyzed via ft-ir, which confirmed no interaction between drug and other excipients. formulations were evaluated for physical characteristics like hardness,...

Occupational asthma after exposure to salbutamol in the pharmaceutical industry has not been previously reported. The occurrence of occupational asthma is described in two pharmaceutical process workers who were likely to have inhaled doses appreciably in excess of the therapeutic dose range. The findings do not lead to an unequivocal conclusion on the mechanism of the asthma but it was probabl...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of two vehicles for nebulized salbutamol in treatment of asthma exacerbations with Meta-analysis. METHODS All relevant randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) with isotonic magnesium sulphate and saline as vehicles for inhaled salbutamol in treatment of asthma exacerbations were searched. A Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the results of the two the...

It is a comparative study of salbutamol sulphate-ethylcellulose microcapsules prepared by three different microencapsulation techniques i.e. coacervation thermal change, solvent evaporation and coacervation non-solvent addition by adjusting the ratio of salbutamol sulphate to ethylcellulose. In vitro release profiles of microcapsules were studied using USP XXIV dissolution apparatus-I in 450 ml...
