The objective of the present study was formulation and evaluation pulsatile release tablets Atenolol. A tablet system consisting cores which coated with layers swelling rupturable coatings. Cores containing Atenolol as model drug were prepared by direct compression appropriate ratios lactose microcrystalline cellulose then sequentially different an inner layer HPMC outer Ethyl Cellulose. effect...

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate the novel amoxicillin trihydrate dental gel containing different hydrophilic polymers such as hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), methyl cellulose (MC), sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (Sod.CMC) and hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC) in varied concentrations (5, 6, 6 and 9 %) for the treatment of periodontal diseases. Propylene glycol was used...

The purpose of present investigation was to develop and optimize bucco mucoadhesive bilayered tablets of Propranolol hydrochloride (PrHCL) using the bioadhesive polymers hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), xanthan gum (XG) and acrypol 934P (AL-P) individually and in combination along with ethyl cellulose (EC) as an impermeable backing layer. The 3 full factorial design was employed by ...

Sustained release drug delivery systems are designed to achieve a prolonged therapeutic effect by continuously releasing medication over an extended period of time after administration of a single dose. advantages of sustained release drug delivery over conventional dosage forms like improved patient compliance due to less frequent drug administration, maximum utilization of the drug, increased...

The objective of the present study was to develop floating microsphere of norfloxacin in order to achieve an extended retention in the upper GIT which may enhance the absorption and improve the bioavailability. The microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation method using different ratio of hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M) and ethyl cellulose with drug in the mixture ...

Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose can be used in the development of different drug delivery technology. Nowadays it is a widely used polymer and different viscosity grade of this polymer is available. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic form (both variants) of this polymer is also available. This study includes a review of this polymer on use in different drug delivery system mosty focusing on more r...

The aim of the present study was to develop a sustained release monolithic system for the low solubile/low dose glipizide, for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. The matrices were prepared by dry blending of polymers hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) or erodible Eudragit (ammonio methacrylate copolymers) and other excipients using direct compression method and were characterized u...

The objective of the present study was to develop ofloxacin medicated dental gels for extended period of time. The clinical evaluation of ofloxacin was carried out to determine the efficacy in the treatment of periodontitis. The ofloxacin medicated dental gels prepared with different hydrophilic polymers methyl cellulose, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, hydroxy propyl cellulose and hydroxy eth...

A study has been carried out to assess the potential use of pectin in combination with two added hydrocolloids, i.e., hydroxy-propyl-methyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose in varied concentrations and coated with ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate phthalate. The results of in vitro drug release showed that the matrix tablets prepared with pectin, hydroxy ethyl cellulose (20 percent) whe...
