Development and pharmacokinetic evaluation of Neusilin® US2-based S-SNEDDS tablets for bosentan: Fasted and fed states bioavailability, IVIS® real-time biodistribution, and ex-vivo imaging.

The study reported here aimed to develop and optimize the S-SNEDDS tablet of bosentan (BOS) and to investigate its pharmacokinetic and biodistribution properties. The BOS-loaded SNEDDS have been developed and characterized in a previous study. The BOS-loaded SNEDDS formulation was converted to S-SNEDDS using Neusilin® US2.

Comparison of tablet splitting techniques for dosing accuracy of nebivolol tablets: Hand splitting versus tablet cutter and knife.

Tablet splitting is a common practice in clinical settings to lower doses, facilitate swallowing or save costs. Splitting devices can be used when hand splitting is difficult or painful. However, data on the accuracy of tablet splitting are limited and it presents a number of patient or formulation-related problems.
