  • Pharmacy Phacts in This Issue Pharmd Candidates Discuss Oral Health and Preventing Eye Strain at Work
    Pharmacy Phacts In this issue PharmD candidates discuss Oral Health and Preventing Eye Strain At Work Oral Health Landon Forrest Stewart, PharmD Candidate 2021 Why is Oral Health important? Oral health is an important part of our overall health. Oral health issues can cause oral pain, increased costs in healthcare, and less productivity. Recent developments in oral hygiene have led to improved outcomes for patients. Many oral health issues are still prevalent today, but the good news is that many are preventable with daily healthy habits. Healthy habits are required to maintain good oral health and many oral health issues are still prevalent today. One of the most common oral health problems is decay in the tooth also known as a cavity. The outer layer of the tooth is a tough mineral layer called the enamel. Bacteria group together on teeth to form plaques that can erode the enamel and the deeper layers of your teeth, causing cavities. Cavities are present and untreated in up to 26% up American adults. (1) If left untreated, they can lead to pain in the tooth and more severe infections known as an abscess. Another common oral health problem is gum disease. When bacteria group together on the teeth, it causes the immune system to respond and causes inflammation in the mouth. The initial inflammation is called gingivitis and makes your gums swell and bleed more easily. Untreated gingivitis can progress to a more severe gum disease called periodontitis. Periodontitis can damage the structure that holds your teeth in place and is a common cause of tooth loss.

  • Study Protocol
    RESEARCH PROTOCOL Project Title A multicenter, single blind, randomized controlled trial of virucidal effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone-Iodine on SARS-CoV-2 as well as safety of its application on nasopharynx & oropharynx of COVID-19 positive patients BMRC Reg. No: 38624012021 Page-1/17 Project Title A multicenter, single blind, randomized controlled trial of virucidal effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone- Iodine on SARS-CoV-2 as well as safety of its application on nasopharynx & oropharynx of COVID- 19 positive patients. Summary Povidone Iodine (Iodine with water soluble polymer Polyvinylpyrolidone) or PVP-I is a proven and time trusted antiseptic agent having best possible (99.99%) virucidal effect in it‟s only 0.23% concentration, against all viruses including SARS-Co, MERS-CoV; even in SARS-COV-2 due to it‟s nonspecific mode of action for virus killing and having no resistance [1,2]. Corona virus is transmitted by/via respiratory droplets or aerosol, produced from sneezing or coughing of infected persons to healthy individual through mouth and nose mainly [5, 6]. The routes of entry of coronavirus in human body are mouth, nose and eye. PVP-I products for gargling the throat and spraying or washing the nose may have a preventive effect on COVID-19 and if it is proved in this study following human trial, this will be a landmark research in COVID-19 pandemic. In line of this, PVP-I containing oro-nasal spray, proposed Bangasafe, which should be regarded as PONS (Povidone Iodine oro-nasal spray) in this protocol, has been developed and proposed to use against corona virus disease.

However, owing to the bitterness of several active ingredients, there is a need to find a suitable alternative to ODTs that maintains their features and can be taste-masked more simply and inexpensively. Therefore, electrospun nanofibers and solvent-cast oral dispersible films (ODFs) are used in this study as potential OD formulations for prednisolone sodium phosphate (PSP) that is Citation: Tawfik, E.A.; Scarpa, M.; commercially available as ODTs.

  • Can Pilocarpine Eye Drops Be Used to Treat Dry Mouth?
    Page 1 of 5 Question: Can pilocarpine eye drops be used to treat dry mouth? July 2019 Summary Pilocarpine is not recommended as a first line treatment for dry mouth (xerostomia). However, saliva stimulants are generally more effective than saliva substitutes (unless a main salivary duct is blocked) 1, and are preferred by patients.2 Other saliva stimulants such as sugar-free chewing gum should be tried prior to the initiation of pilocarpine. Pilocarpine tablets (Salagen®) are unlicensed in Ireland but are licensed in the UK for the treatment of dry mouth following irradiation for head and neck cancer and for patients with Sjögren's syndrome.3 There is limited information available to support the oral use of pilocarpine eye drops as an alternative. The use of pilocarpine eye drops to treat a dry mouth is unlicensed. For cost/reimbursement reasons, pilocarpine eye drops administered orally are favored over the use of Salagen® oral tablets (unlicensed). A recommended dose of 5mg - 10mg three times daily of oral pilocarpine tablets is approximately equivalent to pilocarpine 4% w/v, 3 - 5 drops (6mg-10mg) taken orally three times daily. 1 - 6 Palliative Meds Info: Terms and Conditions The information outlined above is intended for healthcare professionals only.

Received: 6 August 2019; Accepted: 26 August 2019; Published: 6 September 2019 Abstract: The eye presents extensive perspectives and challenges for drug delivery, mainly because of the extraordinary capacity, intrinsic to this path, for drugs to permeate into the main circulatory system and also for the restrictions of the ocular barriers. Depending on the target segment of the eye, anterior or posterior, the specifications are different. The ocular route experienced in the last decades a lot of progresses related with the development of new drugs, improved formulations, specific-designed delivery and even new routes to administer a drug.

  • Instilling Eye Drops
    Instilling Eye Drops This material will help you understand eye drops and how to properly use them. What are the different types of eye drops? There are two different kinds of eye drops for patient use: over-the- counter and prescription. You can buy over-the-counter eye drops without a prescription from your doctor, but you still need to use them as directed. Artificial tears are one kind of over-the-counter eye drops, and are used to soothe dry or irritated eyes. Your doctor may also prescribe steroid eye drops, eye drops to treat infections, or those that treat glaucoma. When using eye drops, you should always follow your doctor’s directions and those written on the package. How do I insert eye drops? Many people find it easiest to put in their eye drops in front of a mirror. To insert eye drops into your eyes, follow these steps: 1. Before using your eye drops, wash your hands. 2. Remove the cap. Do not touch the tip of the bottle. 3. Slightly tilt your head back. Kellogg Eye Center – Glaucoma Clinic Instilling Eye Drops 1 4. Pull your lower eyelid down with your index finger to make a “pocket” with your lower lid, as seen in Picture 1. 5. Hold the tip of the bottle directly over this “pocket”. 6. While looking up, let the eye drop fall into the “pocket”. (Do not touch the bottle to your eye or Picture 1 eyelid.) 7. Close your eyes. 8. Using your finger, apply pressure where the lids meet the nose with your eyes closed, as seen in Picture 2.

  • Monophasic Liquid Dosage Form
    Contents • Introduction • Classification of Monophasic liquid • Formulation Consideration • Manufacturing Consideration • Recent advance in monophasic liquid • Recent approach in monophasic liquid formulation • Conclusion • Recommendation Introduction • Monophasic dosage form refers to liquid preparation containing two or more components in one phase system, it is represent by true solution. • A true solution is a clear homogenous mixture that is prepared by dissolving solute in a suitable solvent. • The component of the solution which is present in a large quantity is known as “SOLVENT” where as the component present in small quantity is termed as “SOLUTE”. Advantage • It is easier to swallow, therefore easier for children and old age people. • Facilitate absorption of drug faster than solid dosage form as drug is already in solution form. • It is homogenous therefore give uniform dose than suspension or emulsion which need shaking. • Simple and fast to formulate • It can be administered by various routes : Oral, Parenteral (injection),enema for rectal use, otic(ear), nasal and ophthalmic preparation. Disadvantage • They are bulky, so difficult to transport and store. • Water is commonly use vehicle, which is prone to microbial growth. So addition of preservative is needed. • When expose to direct sunlight it may undergo hydrolysis, so need to store in cool and dark place. • Drug stability reduce by hydrolysis or oxidation. So, they have shorter expire date than solid dosage form. • Other major sign of drug instability are color change, Precipitation, microbial growth etc. Classification Liquids meant for internal administrations • Syrup : Aqueous preparations of 60% to 85% sucrose with or without flavoring agents and medicinal substances. e.g.
