A DETAILED REVIEW ON NANOEMULSION DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

Nanoemulsions are submicron sized emulsions that are under investigation as drug carriers for improving the delivery of therapeutic agents. These are the thermodynamically stable isotropic system in which two immiscible liquids are mixed to form a single phase by means of appropriate surfactant and cosurfactant. Nanoemulsion droplet sizes fall typically in the range of 20-200nm and shows narrow si...

FORMULATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MUCOADHESIVE BUCCAL FILMS OF RANITIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE

Delivery of the desired drug as mucoadhesives drug delivery systems has been subject of interest since last three decades. The various advantages associated with these systems made the buccal drug delivery as a novel route of drug administration. The oral transmucosal drug delivery bypasses liver and avoids presystemic elimination in the gastro intestinal tract and liver. The present investigation...

ESTIMATION OF ORLISTAT BY UV SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD

A simple, reproducible and efficient spectroscopic method developed and validated for determination of Orlistat in bulk and capsule dosage form. The drug was determined spectrophotometrically at 203 nm using methanol as a solvent. The percentage recovery study of the drug for the proposed method ranges from 100.17-99.53%w/w indicating no interferences of the capsule excipients. Linearity was obtai...
