The aim of the present paper is to study the effect of common excipients on the permeability of atenolol (as drug absorbed mainly by passive diffusion) and rhodamine (as P-Glycoprotein substrate). Apparent permeability was measured by in situ perfusion method in Wistar rats using the Closed loop…

Solidification of self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) is a rising experimental field with important potential for pharmaceutical industry, however fluid-bed granulation with SMEDDS is yet an unexplored solidification technique. The aim of the study was to solidify carvedilol-loaded…

Intraoral lidocaine formulations are applied in children and adults for pain relief. The potential risks associated with orally administered lidocaine due to accidental ingestions were highlighted in a warning letter by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This increases the urgency for a need…
