    Hydrogels are presently under consideration as matrices for the controlled bioactive molecules delivery particularly proteins and for living cells encapsulation. For these applications, gels must undergo degradation under physiological conditions. This overview summarized and discussed the various physical and chemical crosslinking methods to design hydrogels that are biodegradable. Highly versati... Details

    The aim of the present study was to develop bilayer sustained release tablets of to improve patient compliance of two drugs, tramadol and paracetamol. Immediate release layer contained both drugs tramadol hydrochloride and acetaminophen while the sustained release layer was designed only for the tramadol hydrochloride. Hydrophobic polymers Eudragit L-100, Eudragit S-100 and hydrophilic polymer hyd... Details

    The study was aimed at developing a topical preparation of Celecoxib, a COX inhibitor available in oral dosage form only, for localized and systemic effects. Initially, celecoxib containing microemulsion was developed using liquid paraffin, tween 20, water, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, menthol and clove oil. These components were incorporated into Carbopol 934 gel, with varying ratio to achieve... Details
