DEVELOPMENT OF OSMOTIC CONTROLLED RELEASE FORMULATION OF AN ANTIDIABETIC DRUG METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE
Osmotic tablets have emerged as a new technology for the delivery of drugs whose release rate is to be controlled. These tablets offer controlled drug release with the help of certain osmogens and also provide zero-order rate kinetics. In the present study, we have developed an osmotic tablet of Metformin Hydrochloride (HCL) to enhance its oral bioavailability. Metformin HCL is a biguanide derivat...

MICROENCAPSULATION: A STRATEGY TO SURPASS PHOTO INSTABILITY AND LOW PENETRABILITY OF SKIN LIGHTENING AGENTS
Objective: Kojic acid and arbutin are potent agents for effective treatment of hyperpigmentation. However, low photostability, low permeability and high irritancy exhibited by them make topical delivery a challenge. The aim of this study was to develop novel photostable and highly penetrable formulation of kojic acid and arbutin to combat hyper-pigmentation effectively at lower concentrations in c...
