Fungal Infections: Effect of Eudragit RL-100 Based Miconazole Film Forming Spray
ABSTRACT
Background: Miconazole nitrate, a BCS class II drug which is used for treatment of fungal infections. To minimize the disadvantages of sticky creams and ointments and their tendency to rub off, an intelligent dosage regimen needs to be designed as a film-forming spray formulation. The…

Smart laser Sintering: Deep Learning-Powered powder bed fusion 3D printing in precision medicine
Abstract
Medicines remain ineffective for over 50% of patients due to conventional mass production methods with fixed drug dosages. Three-dimensional (3D) printing, specifically selective laser sintering (SLS), offers a potential solution to this challenge, allowing the manufacturing of small,…

Development of 3D-printed dual-release fixed-dose combination through double-melt extrusion
This study aimed to develop a 3D-printed fixed-dose combination tablet featuring differential release of two drugs using double-melt extrusion (DME). The hot-melt extrusion (HME) process was divided into two steps to manufacture a single filament containing the two drugs. In Step I, a…

Carrier Systems for Advanced Drug Delivery: Improving Drug Solubility/Bioavailability and…
Abstract
The disadvantages of some conventional drugs, including their low bioavailability, poor targeting efficiency, and important side effects, have led to the rational design of drug delivery systems. In particular, the introduction of drug delivery systems is a potential approach to enhance…
