Green Pharmacy represents a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the importance of controlling the environmental contamination caused by pharmaceuticals. Also, Green Pharmacy prevents environmental contamination due to the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) present in the medicines. Contamination of the environment by Active pharmaceutical ingredients can occur through various pathways, such as improper disposal, wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, and even through excretion by patients. These contaminants adversely affect aquatic ecosystems and potentially impact human health if they enter the food chain supply by any means. Proper disposal and wastewater treatment are crucial to mitigate this environmental risk. This abstract explores the potential benefits of the Green Pharmacy, including reduced adverse effects, sustainability, and cultural preservation. It also addresses the challenges associated with standardization, quality control, and regulatory approval. Additionally, it also provides some new ideas about how to stop or prevent the uncontrolled contamination of API in the environment due to the improper disposal of drugs from pharmaceutical manufacturing industries, hospitals, and also from houses. The Green pharmacy...

A new, simple, and sensitive differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectrophotometric technique was developed to estimate ethambutol hydrochloride in tablet dosage form. In the first method the concentration range of ethambutol hydrochloride was discovered to be 0.5 mg to 2.0 mg using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), with the peak region of an exothermic thermogram at 75.8 °C and a continuous heating rate of 5 °K min-1. Second method which involves the measurement of ethambutol hydrochloride by Infra Red (IR) spectroscopy, the concentration range was determined to be 1.0 mg to 2.5 mg. The correlation coefficients for these techniques were determined to be 0.999 and 0.9919 for both DSC and IR methods respectively. The analytical results were statistically validated by the ANOVA technique and recovery trials. The recovery trials show no influence from other chemicals in the formulation. As a result, these two procedures are easy, precise, accurate and specific, and they might be employed for regular...

The escalating use of medications among children presents a global concern, with self-medication by parents increasingly prevalent. This study investigates the prevalence of self-medication practices among parents of children aged 1 to 12. Methods: Over six months, 200 participants who self-medicated their sick children were enrolled. The study, conducted at King Koti District Hospital in Hyderabad, utilized a self-structured questionnaire targeting paediatric patients aged 0-12. Results: Most participants were parents aged 20 to 40 years, predominantly fathers (65.5%), with most having two children (36%) aged 2-4 years. Fever was the most commonly reported condition (22.5%). While a significant proportion expressed confidence in selecting over-the-counter (OTC) medications (41.5%), NSAIDs and analgesics were the primary choices. Safety perceptions varied, with 25% considering OTC medications generally safe and 13% entirely safe. Discussion: The study highlights parental awareness of risks associated with self-medication, notably allergic reactions (49.5%) and over dosage (57%). It provides insights into parental self-medication practices in paediatric care, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions and educational efforts on safe medication...

Researchers’ interest in nanotechnology, and specifically nanoemulsions (NEs), has grown over time. NEs have a significant role in various sectors because of their droplet size is small and large surface area. The components, characteristics, creation, and applications are outlined in this review article. This article also discusses the benefits and drawbacks of nanoemulsion. High input energy and low input energy approaches can be utilized to create nanosized emulsions. High-pressure homogenization, microfluidization, and ultrasonic emulsification are all extensively discussed in high energy approaches. Low energy methods put an emphasis on Spontaneous Emulsification, Phase Inversion Composition (PIC), Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT), and D-phase Emulsification (DPE) techniques. The uses of NEs in the fields of medication delivery and cosmetics are discussed. The evaluation parameter and the future aspect of nanoemulsion are also discussed in this...
