Background and Introduction: Saxagliptin is a hypoglycemic drug that acts as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and is preferably used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). It is safe and tolerable; however, the major disadvantage associated with it is its low bioavailability. Aim: The present research aimed to enhance the bi...

Drugs are the critical elements in the health care system. They must be manufactured in the high-quality levels. End product testing by itself does not guarantee of the quality of the product. Quality assurance techniques must be used. In pharmaceutical industry, process validation performs this task, by ensuring that the process does what it purpo...

The development of new delivery systems for the controlled release of drugs is one of the most promising fields of research in pharmaceutical sciences. Nanoparticles were specially designed to release the drug at the desired target sites. The main objective of this work was to prepare and characterize Saquinavir nanoparticles as potential drug deli...

Background: The current focus of research is on polypharmacy and the presence of unnecessary medications in the treatment and also the cost of the unnecessary medications. Objectives: To find out the prevalence of polypharmacy in geriatric patients, reasons for unnecessary drug therapy, the cost of unnecessary drug therapy and to check the quality...

Testing lies at the heart of drug manufacturer's successful operation. Laboratory testing, which is required by the CGMP regulations is obligatory to confirm that components, containers and closures, in-process materials, and finished products conform to specifications, including stability specifications. Testing also supports analytical and proces...
