The screening and careful selection of excipients is a critical step in paediatric formulation development as certain excipients acceptable in adult formulations, may not be appropriate for paediatric use. While there is extensive toxicity data that could help in better understanding and highlighting the gaps in toxicity studies, the data are often scattered around the information sources and s...

Multiple unit controlled release dosage forms offer various advantages over their single unit counterparts. Most of these advantages are associated with the uniform distribution of multiparticulates throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Though coated pellets can be filled into hard gelatin capsules, tablet formulation is the preferred one because of various advantages associated with it. Howev...

The objective of the research is to design and evaluate bio compounds Berberis aristata (BCBA) compressed tablets in psoriasis treatment. BCBA dose 300 mg was into by employing microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) sodium starch glycolate (SSG) as superdisintegrant necessary excipients direct compression method. fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results depicts no incompatibility among drug excipien...

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH), a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, is widely used as antiallergic, antiemetic and antitussive drug found in many pharmaceutical preparations. In this study, a new reconstitutable syrup formulation of DPH was prepared because it is more stable in solid form than that in liquid form. The quantitative estimation of the DPH content of a reconstitutable syrup fo...

The goals of the current studies were to create herbal excipients-based ketoconazole cream enhance efficacy against chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Ketoconazole, coconut oil and other excipients namely shea butter, bees wax, Lanolin Rose used for formulation. Each formulation was prepared with various concentrations oil. Every formulations evaluated successfully. Among all F4 best that exhib...

This paper reviews the use of texture analysis in studying the performance of hydrophilic matrices of highly soluble drugs and different types of excipients (i.e. water-soluble, water-insoluble and swellable, and water insoluble and non-swellable). Tablets were prepared by direct compression, and their swelling and erosion in presence of these different excipients were assessed with the help of...

We present three cases with anaphylaxis after injection of a depot corticosteroid. First, the steroid was suspected as the elicitor, but after evaluation the excipient macrogol was found to be the elicitor. One of the patients had reactions to several unrelated drugs. Increased awareness of anaphylaxis to excipients such as macrogols is needed, especially when allergy tests for the active drug ...

Recent years have seen a marked diversification of excipient based formulation strategies used for the development and commercialisation of dry powder inhaler (DPI) products. These innovative approaches not only provide benefits to patients and health care professionals through the availability of a wider range of therapeutic DPI products, but, importantly, also allow formulators to exploit the...

The present invention relates to produce multiple unit particle system (MUPS) of stabilized ramipril pellets, hydrochlorothiazide, diluents, superdisintegrants, and lubricants which produce better dissolution of the system for better bioavailability with improving stability and bioavailability of ramipril. More particularly, the present invention is directed for stabilized ramipril against deco...
