Three different axioms of Sushruta Samhita were analyzed and its translations by respectable translators were studied. The different Sanskrit terms were also analyzed using Monier-Williams and Apte Sanskrit dictionaries as a part of intercomparison study. The Sanskrit terms used in Ayurveda are those which seem to be commonly used, but their meanings are not the same as commonly understood or known.

The porous osmotic pump based drug delivery system for excellent controlled release of drug for 24 hrs. The porous osmotic pump contains pore forming water soluble additives in the coating membrane, which after coming in contact with water, dissolve, resulting in an in situ formation of a microporous structure. The porous osmotic pump delivery from this system is not influenced by the different physiological factors.

In this paper formulation of porosity osmotic tablet containing isradipine (model drug) as a low and pH dependent solubility was optimized based on the simultaneous optimization technique in which an artificial neural network (ANN) was incorporated. Nonlinear relationships between the causal factors and the response variables were represented well with the response surface predicted by ANN. Three causal factors, i.

Conventional drug delivery systems have little control over their drug release and almost no control over the effective concentration at the target site. This kind of dosing pattern may result in constantly changing, unpredictable plasma concentrations. Drugs can be delivered in a controlled pattern over a long period of time by the process of osmosis.
