This thesis is compromised of two distinct formulation sections, which are described below:
New compression-coated tablet formulations were developed for amoxicillin/clavulanate. Amoxicillin in an outer coat was separated from clavulanic acid in a core tablet by inactive ingredients in a middle coat. A chewable compression-coated tablet formulation with 50% stearic...
The efficiency of powdered corncob as a tablet disintegrating
agent was compared to that of a number of wood products and to
starch, the most popular agent used today. Corncob appeared to
be superior in its disintegrating effectiveness.
The optimum particle size, at which powdered corncob produced
its best disintegrating...
Capillary electrophoresis as a technique has many applications in a broad range of fields including forensics, environmental analysis, and biological analysis and as a separation method for samples such as oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, and pharmaceuticals. The research conducted herein is for the antibiotic pharmaceutical ciprofloxacin HCl and three impurities. Sample...
This dissertation is comprised of four distinct formulation sections, which are described below: A novel solid dosage formulation was investigated for achieving zero-order drug release profile by combining tablet shape design and tablet membrane film coating. Verapmail (model drug) was compressed into hydrophilic matrix tablet cores of flat-faced and bi-convex...
This thesis examines how changes made to the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) in 2003 impacts those now utilizing the emergency room (ER) for primary health care. This thesis also examines how these changes impact staff members working in the ER of Salem Hospital. Through the utilization of qualitative research methods,...
