Wax-Matrix Sustained-Release Nicotinic Acid

چکیده
Today we have more options than ever for the pharmacological management of hyperlipemia. Some of the newer agents have unprecedented potency in lowering LDL cholesterol while others may be better at reducing triglycerides or improving HDL. Keeping track of which drugs are best for which lipid problems can be a challenge in the everyday practice of medicine. I offer here a simple rationale for selecting a first choice in lipid management. If you follow this rationale I think you will find that nicotinic acid or niacin is the best first choice, and that among the niacin preparations wax-matrix CNA (controlled release niacin) is by far the best available.

In vitro Release Kinetics Study of Diltiazem Hydrochloride from Wax and Kollidon SR Based Matrix Tablets
Extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (DTZ) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with Kollidon SR. Matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (CW), bees wax (BW), cetyl alcohol (CA) and glyceryl monostearate (GMS). Dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations USP XXII type 1 apparatus. The in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

متن کاملDesign and release characteristics of sustained release tablet containing metformin HCl
Metformin hydrochloride (metformin HCl) was formulated as a hydrophobic matrix sustained release tablet employing wax materials and the sustained release behavior of the fabricated tablet was investigated. Sustained release matrix tablets containing 500 mg metformin HCl were developed using different bees wax combinations. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique. The formulation ...
متن کاملPreparation of Sustained-Release Matrix Tablets of Aspirin with Ethylcellulose, Eudragit RS100 and Eudragit S100 and Studying the Release Profiles and their Sensitivity to Tablet Hardness
A sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. In this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (EC), Eudragit RS100 (RS), and Eudragit S100 (S) were prepared by direct compression. The release behaviors were then studied in two co...
