December 2019 has become one of the most surprising days in the whole world in light of the flare-up of a most infectious sickness brought about by novel Covid or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This study is conducted to assess the benefits of the use of home remedies to prevent the cause of Covid-19 and evaluate the assessment of dietary changes and physical activity in the prevention of Covid-19. A questionnaire-based online survey is conducted using Google forms consisting of multiple-choice questions about home remedies, lifestyle and dietary changes made by the people during this pandemic. These home remedies included using different types of herbal preparations, steam inhalation, physical exercise and OTC medications for prophylaxis. Questions likewise included about being infected by Coronavirus-19(during first wave or second) and their recovery period, additionally collected their viewpoint for changes made, for example how much they are useful in the prevention of the attack and whenever encountered any undesirable impacts. Total responses were 210, among which 121(57.6%) responses...

The purpose of the current research was to formulate and evaluate patient-friendly allopurinol solid dispersion based fast-dissolving tablets using a sublimation technique in order to accomplish rapid drug dissolution. In the present study, an effort was made to fasten the release of allopurinol from oral tablet dosage form by the conversion of the drug into solid dispersion form followed by further incorporation of allopurinol solid dispersions with superdisintegrants and camphor/ammonium bicarbonate as the subliming agents. The prepared fast-dissolving tablets of allopurinol solid dispersion were analyzed for pre-compression and post-compression parameters. Based on the results obtained for in-vitro drug release studies, it was observed that the formulation F8 showed a fast release profile of about 99.51% in 30 min and a disintegration time 40 sec in comparison with other formulations. The initial dissolution rate was 34.25% / 10 min for the best formulation, F8. FT-IR studies disclosed that there were no interactions between drugs and excipients. The current investigation revealed the potential for the rapid dissolution of allopurinol solid dispersion...

The aim of the research work was to determine and compare the efficacy and pharmacoeconomics of Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin. The cohort, observational, and prospective studies were conducted at KMC multispeciality hospital, Trichy. The hyperlipidemic patient was treated with Atorvastain (10 mg) and Rosuvastatin (5 mg) every day over a period of six months. Contemplating the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 104 patients were selected for the study. From the selected 104 patients, 52 patients were treated with Atorvastatin (Group- A) and Rosuvastatin (Group- B). The therapeutic effect of both drugs was compared. The level of Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and High-density lipoprotein (HDL) were estimated. Rosuvastatin-treated patient’s reports showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipid-protein, and increased the high-density lipoprotein during the therapy compared to Atorvastatin treated patient’s group. The results revealed that Rosuvastatin is more effective than Atorvastatin and Rosuvastain is cost effective than...

The present study aimed to determine the antioxidant potential of different solvent extracts of A. malabarica. Drug discovery from traditional medicinal herbs has played a significant role in the therapeutic management of cancer and, undoubtedly, most novel clinical applications of medicinal plants and its secondary metabolites and derivatives. The leaves extract showed various folklore and traditional applications in India. The polar and non-polar solvents extracts such as hexane chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous were subjected to various in-vitro antioxidant assays such as DPPH, ABTS, Superoxide, Nitric oxide, Hydroxyl radical and Ferrous ion chelation, Butylated Hydroxy Toluene was used as a standard. The percentage of scavenging and chelation values for antioxidant were obtained and tabulated. Effective concentration (EC50) values are calculated using linear interpolation. The result clearly exhibited that the methanol leaves extract possesses more efficient antioxidant properties than the other extracts. This scavenging free radical capacity can be used as a good anti-oxidizing agent in various fields of medicine, the food industry...

The interaction/incompatibility of drug excipients is a major concern in formulation generation. Compatibility tests for drug excipients constitute an important step of the production of all dosage forms in the preparation stage. The possible physical and chemical interactions of drugs and excipients can influence chemical, physical, therapeutic properties and the dosage form’s stability. The current review involves a fundamental mode of drug degradation, a process of physical, chemical and biopharmaceutical interaction between drugs and excipients. The study of incompatibility is explored in various thermal and nonthermal methods. Once the interaction form is identified, further steps can be taken to enhance drug and dose stability. Current and potential reviews of case studies relating to drug and excipient interactions and their unavoidable incompatibilities have also been studied to deepen greater information about such drug solution scenarios. From the review, we conclude that the subsequent use of the thermal and nonthermal methods provides information for the drug-excipient interaction, which can aid the production of safe dosage forms by selecting an...
