Dosage form preference consultation study in children and young adults: paving the way for patient-centred and patient-informed dosage form development

Titrimetric and Spectrophotometric Methods for the Determination of β-blockers in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

Three new methods using titrimetric and spectrophotometry are described for the determination of Propranolol Hydrochloride (PPH) and Atenolol (AN) with potassium bromate as the oxidimetric reagent and acid dyes, Methyl orange and Indigo carmine. In direct titrimetric (method A), the drug is titrated directly with bromate in acid medium and in the presence of excess of bromide using methyl orang...

HPTLC-densitometry method development and validation for simultaneous determination of abacavir, lamivudine and zidovudine in combined dosage form

A simple, accurate and precise HPTLC- densitometry method for the simultaneousdetermination of abacavir, lamivudine and zidovudine in pharmaceutical tablet has beendeveloped. Separation of tablet components was performed on aluminum backed HPTLC plates(silica gel 60 F254 20×20 cm with 0.2 mm thickness, Camag, Muttenz, Switzerland ) usingmethanol : chloroform : acetonitrile (4 : 8 : 3 v/v). Good...

Formulation Development of Solid Oral Dosage Form

6.1 Literature review matrix Taha E. et al (2015) evaluated Diclofenac Sodium (DS) matrix tablets prepared by direct compression method under different compression forces using ethyl cellulose as matrix forming material. The produced tablets were characterized for hardness, friability, drug content, weight variations and in vitro drug release. Incompatibility study carried out using DSC FT-IR s...

Sterile Dosage Form

Capsule Dosage Form

Capsules are used for filling different materials like Powders, Granules, Beads, Tablets, Capsules, Pastes etc.. Some of the disadvantages associated with conventional capsule: They are easily tampered with (although techniques exist for preventing this). They are subject to the effects of relative humidity and to microbial contamination. Some of the innovations are targeted to:  Overcome the ...
