Elucidation of Tartaric Acid-Assisted Supersaturation Maintenance of Dipyridamole by Eudragit® E100
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of tartaric acid on the maintenance of dipyridamole supersaturation using Eudragit E100 as a carrier.
Methods
The solubility of dipyridamole was determined in a buffer solution (pH = 6.8) containing Eudragit E100 and various…

Orodispersible Films: Current Innovations and Emerging Trends
Abstract
Orodispersible films (ODFs) are thin, mechanically strong, and flexible polymeric films that are designed to dissolve or disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity for local and/or systemic drug delivery. This review examines various aspects of ODFs and their potential as a drug delivery…
