Scaling up fluidised bed coating of sustained release microparticles at high spray rate using the…
Scaling up fluidised bed coating of microparticles with particle size smaller than 150 µm is a challenge because of the high tendency of particle agglomeration. Consequently, the production yield of coating trials are unsatisfactory and low spray rate is typically applied leading to long duration of…

Studies on the in vitro ion exchange kinetics and thermodynamics and in vivo pharmacokinetics of the…
The short half-life and bitter taste of carbinoxamine maleate (CAM) lead to poor compliance by pediatric patients who are being treated for allergic rhinitis. To address these issues, carbinoxamine-resin complexes (CRCs) were prepared by ion exchange and then coated with Kollicoat SR 30D. The…
