In the present study, formulation of multi-compartment dosage form containing soft gelatin capsule of Nifedipine, granules of Losartan potassium and fast disintegrating tablet of Hydrochlorothiazide was designed to achieve immediate release of drug from the dosage form, to increase therapeutic efficacy and to improve patient compliance in case of hypertension. Triple combination of antihypertensive drugs induces superior reduction in blood pressure as compared to conventional dosage form. The basic aim of this work is to produce immediate release action of drug from the hard gelatin capsule...

In the present study, formulation of Fast dissolving film containing antihistaminic drug Desloratadine was designed to achieve immediate release of drug from the dosage form, to increase therapeutic efficacy and to improve patient compliance in case of allergy. The combination of drug with suitable polymers such as HPMC E-5 and HPMC E-15 helps in providing quick onset of action. The basic aim of this work is to produce immediate release action of drug from the film. Fast dissolving film was prepared by solvent casting method using PEG 400 as plasticizer. A full factorial design was used to...

Present study examines the effect of Guar gum (GG) and Modified guar gum (MGG) on the oral bioavailability of a poorly water-soluble drug, Ibuprofen (IBU). Modified guar gum (MGG) was prepared using heat treatment (125-130oC for 2 to 3 hours) method. It was characterized for viscosity, swelling index and water retention capacity. The physical and co-grinding mixtures of IBU with GG and MGG were prepared in 1:9 drug to gum ratio. The physical and co-grinding mixtures were characterized by DSC, FT-IR. The studies confirmed that there was no interaction between drug and carrier. Prepared...
