A Consolidated Review on Novel Liquisolid Technique to Enhance Aqueous Solubility of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs
Abstract: Liquid technique is a novel capable method that can change the dissolution rate of water insoluble drugs. Liquid preparations such as solutions or suspensions of water unsolvable drugs in suitable non-volatile liquid vechicles can be transformed into suitable flowing as well as compressible powders by blending with selected powder excipients. It has been speculated that such systems exhibit improved release profiles. In this case, even though the drug is in …

Enhancement of Bioavailability of Clopidogrel Using Different Solubility Enhancement Techniques
Abstract: Bioavailability is the key determinant of a drug for its therapeutic effectiveness, which in turn depends upon the solubility of that drug in gastro intestinal fluid. Clopidogrel is a BCS class II drug. Drugs of this category have low solubility and high permeability, so their bioavailability is less. This can be overcome by doing pharmaceutic modifications on it. In the present study, three different modifications, namely, complexation, solvent deposition and …

Polymer-Based Film Coatings for Enhancing Drug Stability and Shelf-Life
Abstract: Pharmaceutical stability is a crucial factor in ensuring drug efficacy and safety throughout its shelf-life. Polymer-based film coatings have emerged as an effective strategy to enhance drug stability by protecting active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from environmental stressors such as moisture, oxygen, temperature fluctuations, and light exposure. These coatings act as physical barriers that prevent degradation, improve mechanical integrity, and enable controlled drug release. Various types of polymers are employed for …

Pharmaceutical Cocrystals of Pain Relieving Drugs
Abstract: Cocrystallisation of two components into one crystal form can enhance the solid-state properties of drug compounds. Cocrystals are considered as the next generation modified-active pharmaceutical ingredients with improved physical-chemical, (aqueous solubility, dissolution, hygroscopicity, bioavailability, stability, increase of melting point, purity of an active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), intellectual property positions) and pharmacokinetic properties. Cocrystal formation may overcome dissolution problems of highly lipophilic APIs because the new crystalline lattice being formed often …

Review on Sustained Released Matrix Tablet
Abstract: Pharmaceuticals often use sustained release dose forms to prolong the therapeutic agent’s presence in the bloodstream and maintain a consistent plasma profile. The matrix governs the drug’s release rate. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, a release retardant, is a key excipient in formulations due to its ability to promote sustained release. Techniques that include wet granulation, direct compression, or the dispersion of solid particles within a porous matrix, integrating polymers, like polymethyl …
