thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. to increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc) and ethyl cellulose (ec) were used as the matrix polymer here. mixtures of thymol with eight ...

a topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. these microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. the particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. in vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. it was shown that drug release from microspheres followed h...

previous studies have reported the efficacy of baclofen in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux diseases (gerd). the objective of present study is to evaluate the effect of co-administration of omeprazole 20 mg/d plus sustained release baclofen (sr baclofen) vs omeprazole 20 mg/d plus placebo on alleviation of symptoms in patients with a diagnosis of gerd. a prospective, double blind, place...

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...

the most frequent adverse effects of indomethacin like other nsaids are gastro–intestinal and central nervous system disturbances. extended release or enteric release formulations minimize these symptoms. the objective of this study was to develop an extended release pellet formulation of indomethacin by the centrifugation (rotary fluid bed granulation) or powder layering method. layered, nonpa...

in recent years, great efforts have been devoted to the design of drug delivery systems. many polymeric excipients have been studied in order to make drug release fit the desired profiles. the aim of this work was to design a theophylline oral suspension, as sustained release pharmaceutical preparation in order to decrease the plasma level fluctuations and adverse effects of theophylline. micro...

background: to explain the role of arthroscopic release in intractable frozen shoulders. we used different questionnaires and measuring tools to understand whether arthroscopic release is the superior modality to treat patients with intractable frozen shoulders. methods: between 2007 and 2013, in a prospective study, we enrolled 80 patients (52 females and 28 males) with recalcitrant frozen sho...

i ntroduction: due to the increase in le fort surgeries and its effect on nose widening, it seems necessary to use an alternative method without this effect. the present research examined the effect of alar release on interalar changes in le fort i osteotomy. m at erials and methods: the study population included patients admitted to bou-ali hospital in 2012-2013 undergoing le fort i osteotomy....

introduction: today, with development of various industries, the adverse events originated from explosion and emission of toxic and chemical substances have increased. these events may cause serious environmental problems that threaten human health and safety. therefore, knowledge about the risk of toxic substances from industrial facilities is essential. although, chlorine is extensively utili...

in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...
