the aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. the passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

in the present study, sodium alginate microparticle for oral delivery of furosemide was designed whether the encapsulation into microparticles might improve the oral absorption of this potent loop diuretic. we described preparation of microspheres based on ionotropic gelation method and characterized its physicochemical properties. to acquire an optimum formulation, a generalized regression neu...

in this study, the effects of various hydrophilic (hpmc and carbopol 971) and plastic (ethylcellulose and eudragit rl100) polymers on the release profile of diltiazem hcl from matrix tablets were evaluated in-vitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 60 mg of diltiazem hcl along with various amounts of the aforementioned polymers were prepared using the wet granulation technique. tablets prep...

The overall objective of the present work was to develop an oral sustained-release (SR) Metformin tablet that is prepared by direct compression method using hydrophilic hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and Guar gum polymer alone as well in combination at different concentrations. a biguanide has relatively short plasma half-life. It low absolute bioavailability. All properties were evalu...

objective(s): ketotifen fumarate (kf) is a selective and noncompetitive histamine antagonist (h1-receptor) that is used topically in the treatment of allergic conditions of rhinitis and conjunctivitis. the aim of this study was to formulate and improve an ophthalmic delivery system of kf.ocular nanoparticles were prepared with the objective of reducing the frequency of administration and obtain...

Incorporation of bisphosphonates in the lipid reduces gastric irritation. Only gastric retention with sustained release allows the drug to reach the duodenum and jejunum and improves the availability of bisphosphonates. Risedronate sodium and Gelucire 39/01 floating matrices were prepared using melt solidification. The sustained release floating matrices were evaluated for in vitro and in vivo ...
