3. Results and discussion 3.1. Optimization of chromatographic conditions
A rapid, simple, reproducible and accurate RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of pregabalin and atenolol in dosage forms, spiked and volunteer human urine.
To optimize the proposed HPLC method; several parameters such as effect of organic modifier, pH of buffer and flow rate were studied.
The effect of organic modifier:
The percentage of organic modifier (methanol) has a critical effect on separation of pregabalin and atenolol. It was found that increasing the proportion of methanol than 10% led to interference between pregabalin peak and urine matrix and inadequate resolution between atenolol and pregabalin. While decreasing the proportion …show more content…

Therefore we decided to determine the urinary excretion pattern of these two drugs after single oral administration and by which we can determine the concentration of atenolol and pregabalin at any time during 24 hours after oral administration.
The urinary excretion pattern of pregabalin and atenolol were investigated in healthy volunteers after a single oral administration of 75 mg of Lyrica® tablet and 50 mg of Ateno® tablet. Pregabalin is well absorbed after oral administration. It undergoes negligible metabolism in humans and is eliminated from the systemic circulation primarily by renal excretion as unchanged drug. Atenolol is incompletely absorbed (about 50%), but most of the absorbed dose reaches the systemic circulation. It undergoes little or no metabolism by the liver and the absorbed portion is eliminated by renal …show more content…

The drugs were stable for at least three freeze-thaw cycles. No considerable changes were observed for the stability of the spiked urine samples after 2 weeks of storage at -20˚C.
4.8. System suitability test
Resolution (Rs) is a measure of the degree of separation between two adjacent peaks. A value of 1.5 for resolution implies a complete separation of the two compounds [50].
Resolutions and other system suitability parameters (capacity factor (k/), selectivity factor (α), number of theortical plates and RSD% of retention time were calculated for atenolol and pregabalin. Their values were found to be acceptable (Table 12).
5. Conclusion
The proposed HPLC method provides simple, accurate and reproducible quantitative analysis for simultaneous determination of atenolol and pregabalin in dosage forms, spiked and human urine.
The cumulative excretion patterns of atenolol and pregabalin have a valuable clinical application by detecting the concentration of the two drugs in urine at any time during 24 hours after oral

After finding the Rf values of the four known compounds, solvent 1 (99.5% ethyl acetate/0.5% acetic acid) was chosen, due to the wide range of results, for the remaining experiments. Ibuprofen, our known tablet, gave a similar Rf value to our previous results for Ibuprofen. For Anadin extra, there were three compounds identified as Caffeine, Paracetamol and Aspirin as the Rf values of the drug were close to the values of these three compounds in the first part of the practical. For both of these known drugs, the Rf values acquired were close to my predictions before the experiment. For the unknown powder, we obtained Rf values of 0.52 and 0.76 so we believe that the unknown powder contains Aspirin and Ibuprofen.

The only part that was irrelevant was the appearance of the drug. All but one drug looked like white powder. Even white medicines are dyes to look white (“Toxins in Vitamins and Medicine”). The appearance of the drug therefore does not help us identify what drug the Unknown drugs are. Our conclusion is irrefutable because Unknown A was the same as Excedrin in every category we tested and the same goes for Unknown B and bufferin.

The difference in this chemical and physical properties will aid in their separation. Processes like solubility, gravitational filtration and recrystallization will be used to separate the substances present in Panacetin. The melting and boiling point of the substances will help in concluding on which of these compounds will be presented at the end of experiment. Procedure and observation The Panacetin content was weighed approximately 3.0493g and transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask; 75ml of dichloromethane (CH¬2CL2) was added to the content. The dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) dissolved the sucrose, leaving the active unknown agent and aspirin behind.

If the drug is administered in a rectal pathway approximately 100% of Secobarbital is absorbed. The absorption of Secobarbital is rapid and takes duration of 3-4hrs. Since Secobarbital has extremely high lipid solubility and protein binding the drug is distributed to tissues and fluids across the body. The volume of distribution of Secobarbital in adults is 1.5 L/kg Secobarbital is metabolized by the liver via the major metabolite penultimate oxidation of the 1-methylbutyl substituent to form 5-allyl-5(3 '-hydroxy-1 '-methylbutyl)barbituric acid (hydroxysecobarbital).

Introduction: Quetiapine Fumarate (QF) is a psychotropic agent indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. QF possesses good solubility in aqueous fluids (1) and ethanol. Quetiapine is available in the market with the brand name of Seroquel XL (2). Inadvertent, rapid drug release in a small period of time of the entire amount or a significant fraction of the drug contained in a prolonged release dosage form is often referred to as “dose dumping”.

Dentistry and Pharmaceuticals Lacey Pascoe Concorde Career College DNTA 1344 Pascoe 1 Lacey Pascoe Mrs. Evans DNTA 1344 17 Jan. 2016 Dentistry and Pharmaceuticals Pharmacology is the study of all drugs, their properties, how they react with each other, and the actions of the drugs within the body. Medications are forever changing because new medications are created, there is new information and knowledge of the medications, and medications are always being altered. In my whole 32 years of life I have never realized how much dentistry is involved with pharmaceuticals. Since I have started a career in Dental Assisting, I have learned more of how medications are used in many aspects of dentistry. Before I had started

Method: The organ bath file was opened and we examined tissue type and Agonist and Antagonists of different drugs which were available. Guinea pig ileum was selected as tissue type and Acetyl choline as agonists. Then different amount of acetylcholine were added to the organ bath which produced different results and finally, a log – dose response curve for acetyl- choline was constructed with the X axis corresponding to drug dose (Drug concentration) and the Y axis corresponding to response (gms).

Our patient reported having urinary issues and wetting the bed after taking the diuretic. We suggested he time his doses so he will know roughly around what time he will have to go bathroom. This way he will have enough time to make it to the bathroom and avoid urinating elsewhere. Another positive was explaining the indication for Gabapentin. The patient was not taking Gabapentin and was unsure what it was used for.

Introduction  Polypharmacy is the use of various amount of medication by an individual to treat a disease or health problem, commonly seen in elderly, medication that are prescribed or over the counter including vitamins, supplements and herbal products. It is considered a huge problem as older adult are oblivious about risks of using multiple medications at once. As well as, a challenge to physicians when being neglectful about the drug interaction, side effects and adverse effect. In addition, the use of several medications at once can cause changes in the body, such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic where the drug absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion affect the liver, kidney and body weight etc.    Aim

An organ bath experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of agonist, histamine on guinea pig ileum (GPI) and how the antagonists, mepyramine and SIPBSDrug A affect the GPI’s response (smooth muscle contractions). A GPI simulation was conducted to compare the potencies and nature of antagonists against histamine. The control Rmax and EC50 of histamine without antagonist were 16.49gms and 2.093 x 10-7M respectively. The concentration-response curves were shifted to right parallelly and EC50 increased while Rmax remained constant when mepyramine or SIPBSDrug A was added. Besides, both antagonists showed linear graphs in Schild plot, indicating that they acted as reversible competitive antagonists.

24 hours of observation is requred for patients overdosed with long-acting sedative hypnotics such as clonazepam. Albeit the effectiveness of delayed orogastric lavage is not confirmed, this approach is often considered in overdoses with sedatives that slow the motility of the gastrointestinal tract or those that develop concretions (namely meprobamate and phenobarbital). The use of orogastric lavage in overdose cases should always be done with

When interpreting concentration measurements, factors that need to be considered include the sampling time in relation to drug dose, dosage history, patient response, and the desired medicinal targets. The goal of therapeutic drug monitoring is to use suitable concentrations of difficult-to-manage medications to optimize clinical outcomes in patients in various clinical situations. Keywords: Drug monitoring, therapeutic; Pharmacokinetics Introduction Therapeutic drug monitoring is generally defined as the measurement of specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream. Monitored drugs tend to have a narrow therapeutic index, that is a ratio between the toxic and therapeutic doses of medications.
