Oxiconazole nitrate solid lipid nanoparticles: formulation, in-vitro characterization and clinical assessment of an analogous loaded carbopol gel.

The aim of the present work was to develop a promising drug delivery system of oxiconazole nitrate-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) topical gel to enhance the drug effectiveness for the treatment of Tinea infection. SLNs were prepared by emulsification-solvent evaporation method. Particle size and entrapment efficiency of the prepared SLNs were investigated.

Efficacy, acceptability and cost effectiveness of four therapeutic agents for treatment of scabies.

The aim of this study is to evaluate four drug regimens for treatment of scabies as regard their efficacy, acceptability and cost effectiveness. Two hundred cases with ordinary scabies were randomized into four groups. First group received ivermectin 200 μg/kg body weight single oral dose, repeated after one week.
