The obtained analytical forms are used for quantitative determination of both Diclofenac natrium and Ibuprofen content in medicinal forms as well as for the testing uniformity of batching of the basic substance in tableted forms. The relative standard deviation (RSD) were 3,7-4,6 % (n = 5 P = 0,95). 

The ABPI is the trade association that represents the manufacturers of prescription medicines. Formed in 1930, it now represents some 80 companies, which produce over 80% of the medicines supplied to the National Health Service (NHS). The ABPI has had a code of practice since 1958, the Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry, which governs the promotion of medicines to health professionals, and has operated a system whereby complaints made about the advertising of prescription medicines are taken up and considered under the Code. It is a condition of membership of the ABPI to abide by the Code of Practice. In addition, some 70 companies that are not members of the ABPI have given their formal agreement to abide by the Code and to accept the jurisdiction of the PMCPA over complaints made under the Code. Thus, the Code...

Vitamin Bu is unique among all the vitamins in that it is the largest and most complex and because it contains a metal ion. 1 hismetal ion is cobalt. Cobalt occurs in three oxidation states Co, Co, and Co. The medicinal forms of the vitamin are cyanocobalamin and hydnoxocobalamin. In cyanocobalamin, a molecule of Cyanide is complexed to the Co atom. Cyanocobalamin is readily converted in the body to the cofactor forms methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin contains cobalt in the Co slate, where it acts as a cofactor for methionine synthase. 5 Deoxyadenosylcobalamin, which contains cobalt in the Co state, is the cofactor for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Vitamin Btj is also a cofactor for leucine aminomutase, anen7yme used in leucine metabolism (Poston, 1984). This enzyme appears not to have a vital function in metabolism. No more...

The physician issuing the drug will identify it macroscopically before issuing it, making sure of the medicinal form, the total quantity, the characteristic features and the expiration date, if indicated. 

Further, a study has been conducted of the release of quinidine (common antiarrhythmic preparation) from various medicinal forms produced by immobilization of quinidine and its complexes with surface active substances or protein on HDS. On the basis of the results of the comparative analysis of the data of biopharmaceutic and pharmacokinetic researches it was inferred that the requirements to medicinal agents of prolonged action are most fully met by the preparation produced by coprecipitation of complexes of quinidine with molecules of serum albumin on the surface of HDS. Administration of this preparation does not give rise to any sharp peak of concentration of quinidine in blood and a slow decrease in concentration during a long term is observed. Besides, administration of this medicinal form makes it possible to provide the maximum bioavailability of quinidine.
