Examination of a time release OTC drug by laser diffraction particle size measurement and image analysis
Modified release dosage form refers to a measured delay on release of drug after it is consumed orally. It prolongs the effect of the drug so that multiple doses are not necessary. There are several terms available to describe “Timed Release Drugs” such as sustained release, prolonged release... -
Dispersibility - Case Study: Raw Material Efficient Screening
Dispersibility, the ease of dispersing particles into liquids with a minimum size, is crucial for formulas end-use properties. Indeed, this operation could impact the final suspension quality like paint opacity, drug delivery, the shelf-life... Dispersibility depends on formulation parameters:...

Pickering Emulsions Studies: Dispersibility, Emulsification, and Stability
The cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food sectors are facing a growing demand for more natural and less toxic products. Usual surfactants do not respond to this need: most of them are synthetic and non-biodegradable, and some are also allergenic or irritating. Pickering emulsions seem to be a good... -
Bulk Drug Refining and Evaluation of Physical Properties: Particle size distribution and SEM observation of Ethenzamide
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, bulk refining of the drug and the control of its physical properties (shape, etc.) are important factors in improving the tablet properties (tensile strength, solubility and consolidation characteristic). Here, we discuss the optimum conditions for jet...
