Taste Masking

Implication of Quantitative Selection of Each Excipient in Product Development Excipients’ role in designing different dosage forms does not require any introduction. These are the additives that are added to the formulation along with pharmacologically active substance. The main purpose of adding…

Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) are isotropic and thermodynamically stable mixtures of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant, and drug which emulsify spontaneously on contact with aqueous phase under mild agitation. Efavirenz used for treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is…

This article covers the different possibilities to characterize and quantify the sensory atttributes of APIs and drug products. Although in-vitro techniques such as e-tongues are available, sensory analysis is still the definitive method to identify and quantify taste masking challenges of APIs and…

Prolonged drug release provided by multiple-unit dosage forms is highly beneficial to enhance the compliance and safety of the pharmacotherapy even for patients with swallowing deficiencies. To facilitate the intake for these patients, multiple-unit tablets and capsules have to be crushed or opened.…
