PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to improve the bioavailability of itopride (ITO) and sustain its action by formulating as a floating dosage form. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sustained-release floating tablets of ITO hydrochloride (HCl) were prepared by direct compression using different hydrocolloid polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and ethylcellulose and/or methacrylic acid p...

spectrophotometric and electrochemical studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of amitriptyline hydrochloride (ath) and nortriptyline hydrochloride (nth). conductometric titration were carried out in equeous solution using iodide and dopamine and serotonine as titrant. two new methods using spectrophotometry are dascribed for the determination of (ath) and (nth) with potassium b...

BACKGROUND Controversies persist regarding the effect of prokinetics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aimed to assess the comparative efficacy of prokinetic agents for the treatment of FD. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of prokinetics for the treatment of FD were identified from core databases. Symptom response rates were extracted and analyzed using odd...

a mixture of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is used for the symptomatic treatment of common cold. in this study, a derivative spectrophotometric method based on zero-crossing technique was proposed for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen, diphenhydramine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. determination of these drugs was perf...
