"Drug formulations" refers to different ways in which medications are prepared, such as the form, dosage, and ingredients used, to make them effective and safe for use by patients.

ICCR encourages pharma companies to share patents for their life - saving
HIV drug formulations through the Medicines Patent Pool as a way to make them more affordable and available where they are needed most.
BPTES has been used in animal models for a variety of cancers but has not substantially reduced tumor sizes, probably because the drug concentration in tumor tissue is not high enough when using
conventional drug formulation methods, say the scientists.
They can also be manipulated to
carry drug formulations that can be applied to the treatment of a wide variety of disorders, such as cancer and various infectious, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.
While discovery - type positions tend to be filled by postdocs and graduate students, people who
perform drug formulation research and contract manufacturing at places like the universities of Kentucky, Iowa, and Maryland often take permanent positions as group leaders, supervisors, or technicians, Mayer adds.
«Scientists combine a peptide with a nano
cancer drug formulation to improve treatment effectiveness and prevent metastasis in pancreatic cancer.»
Despite their extensive therapeutic exploration, growth factors have been very limited in terms of clinical translation, mostly
because drug formulations often fail to properly reflect the biological function of growth factors in wound healing.
The magnesium carbonate material that has been given the name Upsalite is foreseen to reduce the amount of energy needed to control environmental moisture in the electronics and
drug formulation industry as well as in hockey rinks and ware houses.
They searched the available literature up to 20 November 2015 and included 13 randomized controlled trials with 5824 participants, and compared FDCs with single -
drug formulations in adults aged 15 years or more.
In a new study, published in International Journal of Pharmaceutics, the researchers show that the extremely porous magnesium carbonate Upsalite may provide a great potential for the development of
new drug formulations of active pharmaceutical ingredients with poor aqueous solubility.
The review authors concluded that FDCs have similar efficacy to single -
drug formulations for treating people with newly diagnosed pulmonary TB.
Drug formulations have different concentrations and thus, require different schedules for intake to render beneficial and desirable effects.
For upper limb spasticity, three of
the drug formulations — abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, and onabotulinumtoxinA — are effective in reducing excess muscle tone and should be offered.
The new
drug formulation is not an anti-HIV medicine, Dr. Gorantla said, but rather one that opens storage areas inside cells where drugs can be maintained for a long period of time.
The intensive treatment for pulmonary TB is a six - month regime that consists of two months of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, followed by four months of isoniazid and rifampicin in FDCs that are combined in one tablet, or separately as single -
drug formulations.
The review authors assessed the safety of the FDC regime, its acceptability by the patient, and its ability to treat pulmonary TB in newly - diagnosed adults versus single -
drug formulations.
A research team from Spain has prepared a Cochrane Systematic Review that explores the efficacy, safety, and adherence to fixed - dose combinations (FDCs) of drugs versus single -
drug formulations to treat people who are newly diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB).
The Cochrane review found there is probably little or no difference between FDCs compared to single -
drug formulations for treatment failure.
Furthermore, with the special FluidFM ® probes, a user may deliver liquid, e.g. a new
drug formulation, directly into an individual cell or extracellularly over a larger volume area.
