Microscopy belongs to the group of tests, used in pharmaceutical technology, that despite the lapse of time and the development of new analytical methods, still remain irreplaceable for the characterization of dispersed drug dosage forms (e.g., suspensions and emulsions). To obtain complete description of a specific drug formulation, such as parenteral colloidal products, a combination of diffe...

Pharmaceutical and biomedical industries demand simple, safe and reproducible processing methods thus urging the development of novel straightforward manufacturing approaches. The product manufacturing by the green processing of admixtures and end-product would avoid long and costly purification (downstream) steps. In this work, the supercritical fluid technology is used for the green processin...

this paper discussed the application of information and communication technology (ict) in pharmaceutical product marketing in nigeria. data for the study was obtained from 76 pharmaceutical firms in southwest nigeria which comprised of about 95% of the pharmaceutical companies that were into manufacturing of drugs in nigeria. the categories of firms surveyed include retail pharmacy, combination...

background: acute poisoning is a major public health problem in bangladesh. it is a common method for suicide. a clear picture regarding clinical presentation, most commonly used toxic agents, background factors and outcome of poisoned patients is necessary in every region. the aim of this study was to investigate frequency and outcome of acute pharmaceutical and chemical poisoning cases in nor...

a simple, sensitive and accurate method for spectrophotometric determination of dalacinphosphatehas been established. the method is based on the reduction of atomic absorptioncalcium ion by phosphate. because, there is a phosphate mole in every dalacin mole structureand with measurement of phosphate, dalacin is beyond measurement too. therefore, the reactionbetween acidic hydrolysis products of...

to be sure, all the industries try to be involved in globalization with a constant trend to find out ways to increase productivity across different functions within an organization to maintain competitive advantage world. pharmaceutical industries are not exceptional and further are based on fragmentation. so these kind of companies need to cope with several barriers such as silo mentality that...

one hundred and fifteen prescriptions which were purposely written in toxic and potentially fatal dose of different medicine (mainly digitoxin) were sent to pharmacies throughout iran. all pharmacies filled up the prescription and only one pharmacist made notice of dangerous dose. the pharmacist in the drugstores in iran is forcefully employed by the owner of the pharmacy which is required by l...

We present terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) as a novel tool to quantify the hardness and surface density distribution of pharmaceutical tablets. Good agreement between the surface refractive index (SRI) measured by TPI and the crushing force measured from diametral compression tests was found using a set of tablets that were compacted at various compression forces. We also found a strong correlat...

The Guide to the Inspection of Pharmaceutical Quality Control Laboratories provided very limited guidance on the matter of inspection of microbiological laboratories. While that guide addresses many of the issues associated with the chemical aspect of laboratory analysis of pharmaceuticals, this document will serve as a guide to the inspection of the microbiology analytical process. As with any...

Genetic variations have been shown to influence drug metabolism, risk of adverse drug events, and pharmacodynamic responses for many drugs routinely used to treat patients with stroke or at risk for stroke. Examples include clopidogrel, statins, antihypertensive medications, and coumadin. Further validation studies are needed to assess the clinical utility of selecting drugs and doses based on ...
