Atenolol is a widely used drug for treating heart conditions available worldwide under various trade names by several generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dissolution performance of several commercially available generic atenolol tablets using both basket and paddle methods described in the United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary ...

International Perspectives on the Drug Release of Special Dosage Forms This workshop was co-sponsored by FDA and FIP. This kick-off presentation introduced the workshop by providing background and objectives. The workshop focused on modified-release drug forms and included regulatory perspectives and specific presentations for orally disintegrating tablets, chewable oral drug products, ophthalm...

The objective of present work is to investigate the enhancement of dissolution profile for oral delivery of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (FH) through solid dispersion (SD) technique by the method of solvent evaporation. The SD was prepared by using ethanol as a solvent. Tablets were formulated containing solid dispersion of FH and compared with tablets of same formula without solid dispersion of ...

Similarity in Dissolution behavior of drugs has long been sought from the percpective of both bioavailability and quality control considrations. The objective of this study was to apply several profile comparison to dissolution data of three different batches of Indomethacin (SR) which two of them were German products as the refernce batches. Dissolution was performed using the United States Ph...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of systematic agitation, increasing ionic strength and gel strength on drug release from a gel-forming matrix (HPMC E10M, E4M and E50LV) using USP type III Bio-Dis apparatus with theophylline as a model drug. The triboelectric charging; particle sizing, water content, true density and SEM of all the hypromellose grades, theophylline and formulated...

Vaginal dosage forms are seen as a viable option for empowering women to protect themselves from the risk of HIV transmission. Because of limited research in the field, there is a lack of suitable dissolution methods established for determination of drug release from vaginal formulations inside the vaginal tract. The main aim of this study was to develop a simple, reliable and reproducible in v...

The study was obtained to develop oral controlled release matrix tablets of Lamivudine having different proportion of Guar gum (retardant polymer) and to study the effect of formulation factor such as polymer proportion on the invitro release. The prepared granules were evaluated such as angle of repose, loose bulk density, tapped bulk density and compressibility index and satisfactory results ...

A multiparticulate system was developed using the coating pan method with nonpareil seed as the core material for the Theophylline. The drug loaded pellets were prepared by powder layering technique, sprinkling the drug on the nonpareil seeds using PVP K-30 in IPA as binder. The drug loaded pellets were coated by using polymers ethyl cellulose, EUDRAGITRS:RL (2:1) and EUDRAGIT® RS:RL (3:1). The...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer Dispersion Type A (Eudragit RL 30 D) and Ammonio Methacrylate Copolymer Dispersion Type B (Eudragit RS 30 D) combination in different weight ratios on the release kinetics of Ambroxol Hydrochloride from coated pellets. Microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, maize starch, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and ...
