In the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. Sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in F1 (1:0.75), F2 (1:1), F3 (1:1.5),...

Frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. Sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. In the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...

background: the development of injectable sustained-release products are of great interest to veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal health business. recently, great attention has been paid to in situ gel-forming chitosan/beta-glycerophosphate (chitosan/β-gp) solutions due to their good biodegradability and thermosensitivity. objectives: the general aim of this study was to prepare a novel in si...

terbutaline sulfate exhibits extensive first pass metabolism and a short elimination half life which makes frequent oral administration of the drug inevitable. a novel buccoadhesive controlled delivery system of the drug can easily overcome the problem. a two-layered core tablet composed of a fast release layer made of mannitol, lactose, peg and the drug attached to a sustained release layer co...

     The purpose of this work was to develop once daily sustained release (SR) matrix tablets of naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation method along with hydrophilic matrix materials like Methocel K 15M CR and Methocel K 100M CR. The granules were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content. The ...

sustained release oral delivery systems are designed to achieve therapeutically effective concentrations of drug in the systemic circulation over an extended period of time. the purpose of the present investigation was to design and evaluate sustained release matrix tablets of nifedipine, a poorly water soluble drug, employing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ( hpmc) and ethyl cellulose ( ec) as ...

The present study concerned with the development and characterization of metronidazole microcapsules prepared by thermal change method using different ratios (1:1, 1:2 and 1:4) of ethyl cellulose in order to select the best microcapsule formulation with a good encapsulation efficiency and drug release profile. The obtained microcapsules were discrete, spherical with free flowing properties and ...
