The present investigation was aimed to formulate and evaluate the gastro-retentive floating microballoons of glipizide using hydrophilic polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and Eudragit RS100 (RS 100) by emulsion solvent evaporation technique. The floating microballoons were evaluated using micromeritic properties, buoyancy, in vitro drug release, scanning electron microscopy and stab...

A novel experimental pHand time-dependent colonic drug delivery system was prepared and its in vitro and in vivo performances were evaluated. The colonic delivery system consists of minitablets with a big swelling capacity coated with an inlet retardant layer insoluble at all pH ranges but permeable (Eudragit RS 30D) and an outlet layer, insoluble and impermeable at acidic pH but easily soluble...

A sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. In this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (EC), Eudragit RS100 (RS), and Eudragit S100 (S) were prepared by direct compression. The release behaviors were then studied in two co...

Transdermal therapeutic systems (TTS) containing captopril were developed by using synthetic and pH independent polymers, Eudragit RL 100 and RS 100. The formulations were characterized in terms of their appearance, thickness, captopril content, in vitro release rate and diffusion profiles. In vitro release studies demonstrated controlled release for each formulation developed. In viro and ex v...

the purpose of this study was to develop a new monolithic matrix tablet to completely deliver glipizide in a zero order manner over a sustained period. two approaches were examined using drug in a formulation that contain polymer like hydroxylpropyl methyl-cellulose k 100 (hpmck) and eudragit l 100. the granules were prepared by wet granulation method and thereby formulated as f-1, f-2. f-3 and...

Abstract: Aim/Background: The purpose of the study was to fabricate and evaluate atenolol loaded micro-sponge in-situ gel. Materials Methods: Oil in Emulsion Solvent Diffusion Technique used for formulation microsponges by using different levels polymers such as Eudragit RS-100 Ethyl Cellulose. prepared micro-sponges were evaluated optical microscopy, percentage yield, drug content, entrapment ...

The aim of this study was to develop a dry powder coating process for chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) tablets using Eudragit L 100-55 as the delayed release polymer. Powder coating, a water and organic solvent-free process, was investigated as a method to prevent the migration of an ionizable, highly water soluble model drug into the polymeric film during the coating process. Eudragit L 100-55 w...

diclofenac sodium as ophthalmic dosage form is used in patients treatment of eye pain, swelling and redness recovering from cataract surgery but it faces the bioavailability limitation of eye drops due to effective protective mechanisms and corneal barrier functions in the eyes. therefore, this investigation was aimed to develop ocular film formulations to achieve controlled drug release. drug ...

objective eudragits are widely used polymers in the production of oral sustained release dosage forms. the application of these polymers in the production of inert insoluble matrices has been investigated. however the effect of particle size, compaction force and presence of aerosil 200 as a glidant on the properties of eudragit rs and rl matrices prepared by direct compression of their physica...
