Abstract This study developed a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) to improve the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble carvedilol using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The liquid self-nanoemulsifying drug…

High-shear (HS) melt granulation and hot melt extrusion (HME) were compared as perspective melt-based technologies for preparation of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). ASDs were prepared using mesoporous carriers (Syloid® 244FP or…

Abstract Roller compaction is gaining importance in the pharmaceutical industry. This study evaluates the impact of ribbon milling conditions on properties of granules and compression mixtures and on drug release from hypromellose-based…

Abstract Carvedilol (CARV) -a nonselective β-receptor antagonist indicated in treatment of hypertension- suffers from poor oral bioavailability due to its poor solubility and hepatic first-pass metabolism. This study aimed to optimize…

Abstract Carvedilol (CARV) is a blocker of α- and β- adrenergic receptors, used as an “off-label” treatment for cardiovascular diseases in pediatrics. Currently, there is no marketed pediatric-appropriate CARV liquid formulation, so its…

Introduction The adjustment of the dose according to the individual needs of the patient is a unique advantage of 3D printing technology, which is of particular importance for the pediatric and geriatric population, due to the diverse…

Carvedilol (CARV) is an ‘off-label’ β-blocker drug to treat cardiovascular diseases in children. Since CARV is nearly insoluble in water, only CARV solid forms are commercialized. Usually, CARV tablets are manipulated to prepare an…

Abstract Selective laser sintering (SLS) has drawn attention for the fabrication of three-dimensional oral dosage forms due to the plurality of drug formulations that can be processed. The aim of this work was to employ SLS with a CO2 …

Carvedilol, a β-blocker prescribed for chronic heart failure, suffers from poor bioavailability and rapid first pass metabolism when administered orally. Herein, we present the development of tip microarray patches (MAPs) composed of…

Solid dosage forms based on hypromellose (HPMC) with prolonged/extended drug release are very important from the research and industrial viewpoint. In the present research, the influence of selected excipients on carvedilol release…
