It outlines several key considerations including selection of the drug candidate based on properties like solubility and half-life. It also discusses medical rationales like dosing frequency and patient compliance. Biological factors that influence absorption, distribution, and elimination are examined. Physicochemical properties of the drug like solubility, molecular size, and ionization must also be considered. The document provides an in-depth overview of factors involved in developing an effective CRDDS formulation.
Gastro retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS)Shweta Nehate
Oral route is the most acceptable route for drug administration. Apart from conventional dosage forms several other forms were developed in order to enhance the drug delivery for prolonged time period and for delivering drug to a particular target site. Gastro-retentive drug delivery system (GRDDS) has gainned immense popularity in the field of oral drug delivery recently. it is a widely employed approach to retain the dosage form in the stomach for an extended period of time and release the drug slowly that can address many challenges associated with conventional oral delivery, including poor bioavailability. different innovative approaches are being applied to fabricate GRDDS. Gastroretentive drug delivery is an approach to prolong gastric residence time, there by targeting site-specific drugs release in the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for local or systemic effects. It is obtained by retaining dosage form into stomach and by releasing the in controlled manner.
Mucoadhesive drug delivery system interact with the mucus layer covering the mucosal epithelial surface, & mucin molecules & increase the residence time of the dosage form at the site of the absorption.

The main objective of present investigation is to formulate the floating tablets of
Ranitidine.HCl using 32 factorial design. Ranitidine.HCl, H2-receptor antagonist belongs to
BCS Class-III. The Floating tablets of Ranitidine.HCl were prepared employing different
concentrations of HPMCK4M and Guar Gum in different combinations as a release rate
modifiers by Direct Compression technique using 32 factorial design. The concentration of
Polymers , HPMCK4M and Guar Gum required to achieve desired drug release was selected
as independent variables, X1 and X2 respectively whereas, time required for 10% of drug
dissolution (t10%), 50% (t50%), 75% (t75%) and 90% (t90%) were selected as dependent variables.
Totally nine formulations were designed and are evaluated for hardness, friability, thickness,
% drug content, Floating Lag time, In-vitro drug release. From the Results concluded that all
the formulation were found to be within the Pharmacopoeial limits and the In-vitro
dissolution profiles of all formulations were fitted in to different Kinetic models, the
statistical parameters like intercept (a), slope (b) & regression coefficient (r) were calculated.
Polynomial equations were developed for t10%, t50%, t75%, t90%. Validity of developed
polynomial equations were verified by designing 2 check point formulations(C1, C2).
According to SUPAC guidelines the formulation (F5) containing combination of 22.5%
HPMCK4M and 22.5% Guar Gum, is the most similar formulation (similarity factor f2=85.01,
dissimilarity factor f1= 15.358 & No significant difference, t= 0.169) to marketed product
(ZANTAC). The selected formulation (F5) follows Higuchi’s kinetics, and the mechanism of
drug release was found to be Non-Fickian Diffusion (n= 0.922).

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

FACTORS AFFECTING DESIGN OF CRDDS
1. Selection of drug candidate
2. Medical Rationale
3. Biological Factors
4. Physico-Chemical Properties
5. In vitro analysis
6. Formulation optimization
7. In vivo data generation
8. Discussion with Regulatory Authorities
9. Data submission to Regulatory Authorities for Marketing, Authorization / Approval.
1. Selection of Drug Candidate
a. Very short or very long half-life:
In the design of CRDDS, it is necessary to determine the half-life of the drug candidate, as if it will be either too high or too low, both cannot be considered.
In case of higher t1/2, such drugs have already the capability to remain in the body for longer periods, so if formulated in CRDDS, then it’ll further enhance the same property & may lead to toxicity.
Thereby, it is necessary to go for drugs which have optimum half life.
b. Significant first pass metabolism
The primary problem with the conventional dosage form, is their incapability to by-pass the First pass metabolism.
Thereby most of the drug contents gets converted to their respective metabolites and becomes inactive or gets converted to toxic forms, which affects severely.
In such case, by formulating it into CRDDS eliminates the problem.
But while formulating it in such form, it is necessary to consider the fate of the raw materials used in the formulation and resistant to the First pass metabolism or have ability to bypass the same.
c. Poor absorption throughout the GI tract
Most of the well versed molecules discovered so far have very poor absorption throughout the GIT tract.
In such cases, formulation into a controlled release form, leads to increase in the release profile and absorption phenomena progressively.
It is important to determine the solubility profile as thereby it’ll easier to determine the targettted site of delivery.
d. Low solubility
3. CRDDS (DR. V. KUSUM MADAM)
BY-Suraj Choudhary
3 | P a g e
Drugs with lower solubility can be formulated in the form of CRDDS, so that it reaches to the systemic circulation by-passing the barriers.
e. Large no. of dose
If the dose of the drug is higher or frequency of dosing is higher due to low bioavailability or higher elimination rate, then the formulation of the same in the form CRDDS, expels out all such problems and leads to patient compliance.
If the dose is too large then there are chances of formulation of bigger size that would not be favourable as per patient compliance.
f. Narrow therapeutic window
For drugs with low therapeutic window, directly affects the frequency of dosing and therapeutic effects which decreases fast.
So, in order to extend its therapeutic window, CRDDS is the ideal method.
It is difficult to produce such formulation with low therapeutic window, as it’ll not be there in the site for longer time, so release pattern is required to be controlled properly.
2. Medical Rationale
a. Frequency of dosing
The major problem with the conventional therapy, is the frequency with which the drug is administered to the patient.
Sometimes it exceeds above 3 times a day, which becomes problematic for them to take continuously on time without skipping.
Such huge problem can be reduced if such drugs are formulated as CRDDS, which will release the drug a defined rate and thereby maintain the drug concentration within the blood at steady state.
b. Patient Compliance
The primary concern in the context of patient is their convenience about the drug intake regimen.
Most of the conventional formulations due to low bioavailability, low duration of action, etc. given many times which leads to changes of dose skip that may affect the patient health directly.
Such concerns can be reduced in CRDDS, but we need to consider the route of administration, size of the final product and patient viewpoint at the same time.
c. Drug intake
In this case, the formulation type directly affects the patient compatibility.
In case of very large dose of drug, the formulation size increases which may be a problem for paediatric and geriatric patients to take.
4. CRDDS (DR. V. KUSUM MADAM)
BY-Suraj Choudhary
4 | P a g e
Thereby, CRDDS allows the efficiency of reducing the dose or changing the route of administration with enhanced ease of therapeutic effects.
But we need to understand that how much of drug is required to be given, as it is too high, then again CRDDS cannot be considered.
d. Fluctuations of serum concentration
Conventional dosage forms shows valleys and peaks in the plasma drug conc. vs time peak.
Such fluctuations causes increase or decrease of the therapeutic effect within the body, which also affects the other systems.
Such fluctuations have been eliminated by CRDDS, as it gives initial straight line in the graph with further forms the steady state conc. throughout.
e. Reduced side effects
The formulation of CRDDS directly reduces the side effects as it localized or targets the site of disease without getting accumulated to off-sites.
f. Sustained efficacy
Efficacy of the drug incorporated within the CRDDS have pronounced efficacy for sustainable time compared to the conventional dosage forms.
3. Biological Rationale
a. Absorption
Absorption efficiency differs throughout the GIT, which directly affects the extent of drug absorption from the site.
Most of the drugs are poorly soluble and poorly permeable, thereby less absorbable. Thus, in such cases, the use of CRDDS, enables them to be carried out into the cell easily.
Even it enables some drugs to be get absorbed in stomach by creating a micro-environment which was actually expected to be absorbed through intestine, but due to irritation have been prevented.
b. Distribution
Distribution of drug from the conventional dosage form directly gets distributed throughout the body, and gets accumulated to some of the off-sites, which may lead to toxicity.
Such instances can be prevented by CRDDS, which can be site-targetted and specific towards the diseases condition area and thus preventing accumulation in other sites.
It also enables the complete drug to be reached to the required site, unlike the conventional forms.
c. Elimination
There are so many drugs available, which accumulates in the organs like liver, pancreas, etc. and becomes fatal sometimes.
Removal of such unwanted accumulated portion is quite hectic for the system due to slow elimination rate.
5. CRDDS (DR. V. KUSUM MADAM)
BY-Suraj Choudhary
5 | P a g e
In such cases, CRDDS again plays a major role as the accumulation in off-sites are comparatively negligible and also the released drug is easily expresses the action and then gets eliminated safely.
d. Dose dependent Bioavailability
Due to low bioavailability of most drugs, higher and sometimes repeated doses are given at certain intervals of time.
This leads to patient inconvenience and most importantly the changes of missing the dose.
Such problems can be eliminated by using the CRDDS as the tool.
e. Drug-Protein Binding
One of the major problem with conventional dosage form is the lesser availability of the drug in the blood due to higher protein binding.
This binding decreases the action of drug and thereby the effective therapeutic effect diminishes.
But in case of CRDDS, this problem can be eradicated by formulating it in several carriers which will further help in delivering the drug in required quantity at the desired site.
f. Duration of Action (Half Life)
Many drugs have either too higher half-life or have very low half-life which creates huge problem in conventional delivery systems.
In case of higher half-life, the CRDDS approach is not required, as it already have the ability to remain in the body for longer periods.
For drugs with smaller half-life, the CRDDS approach directly helps in both extending the release and at a steady rate for long hours.
g. Margin of safety
In conventional daosage form, the margin of safety is quite low compared to CRDDS, due to accumulation at off-sites, less target specific, protein-binding, etc.
When it comes to safety, again the major concern comes is the elimination of the polymers and other excipients used in the CRDDS without accumulation or side effects.
The types of polymers used must be biodegradable enough so that the alternate effects of its metabolites are less and without toxic effects.
h. Disease Condition
Another parameter which defines the CRDDS, is the condition of the patient and the kind of disease it have.
Generally the targeting and route of delivery system is determined by the type of disease focussed.
4. Pharmaco-kinetic/Dynamic Considerations
a. Dose Dumping

With so many merits, still there is one of the major problem in case of CRDDS is the chances of Dose dumping.
Dose dumping refers to the accidental release of the drug from the CRDDS which may lead to toxicity.
If it a multiple dose drug delivery formulation, then it could fatal and may cause death.
Such case is possible if there is some error in the formulation aspect like inefficient coating, polymer or excipient interaction, etc. or maybe because of problem in drug intake by the patients or may be packaging errors.
So while formulating, it is necessary to assess the drug entrapment, coating efficiency, etc. parameters for formulating a safer CRDDS.
b. First Pass metabolism
The major concern in case of CRDDS is the ability of such system to bypass the First-pass metabolism.
First pass metabolism refers to the absorption of the drug from the GIT and then reaching to liver, where it gets converted to its active or inactive metabolites and recirculated back into the GIT.
It is a type of metabolism process which leads to decreasing the drug ability to act and thereby elimination.
So, the CRDDS system should be well enough to cope up in this scenario, or may be formulated to deliver through other route with same efficiency.
c. Enzyme induction/inhibition on multiple dosing
Another important factor includes is the either induction or inhibition of body’s biological enzymatic systems which may leads to certain adverse effects.
So, while formulating, it is necessary to understand the site and its other biological considerations for proper delivery without adverse reactions on the normal processes running within the body.
d. Urinary pH variability (on elimination)
Another problem includes the nature of the materials which have been used in the formulations, as sometimes the change in urinary pH may occurs which may be toxic for the urnary system and may lead to side effects.
e. Prolonged drug absorption
Some of the drugs requires more time in absorption which may leads to least absorption than required and thereby decrease in potency.
f. Variability in GI motility
One of the major concern is the GI motility which differs based on conditions like food presence, area of the GIT, type of formulation, etc.

Thus, it is necessary to formulate the type of CRDDS, which manages the time and extent of absorption based on the motility factors and time of GI emptying.
5. Physico-Chemical Considerations
a. Solubility & pKa
• The solubility of a solid substance is defined as…….
“ the concentration at which the solution phase is in equilibrium with a given solid phase at a stated temperature & pressure.”
• To improve solubility:
Solvation Complexation
Hydration Recrystallization
Co-solvation Use of surface active agents
• NOTE: A classification is given as per the permeability & solubility profile, known as BCS Classification.
• Determination of Solubility:
1. Semi quantitative method
2. Accurate-quantitative method
3. pH change method
• Absorption of poorly soluble drugs is often dissolution rate-limited.
• Such drugs do not require any further control over their dissolution rate and thus may not seem to be good candidates for oral controlled release formulations.
• Controlled release formulations of such drugs may be aimed at making their dissolution more uniform rather than reducing it.
b. Partition Coefficient
• The partition coefficient is defined as…….
“ the concentration ratio of unionized drug distributed between two phases at equilibrium.”
• Given by the Noyes-Whitney’s Equation:
P = [퐴]/([퐴]∞)
• The logarithm (base 10) of the partition coefficient (log10P) is often used.
• For ionizable drugs, where the ionized species does not partition into the organic phase, the APPARENT partition coefficient, (D), can be calculated as:……….
Acids : log10D = log10P – log10 (1 + 10 (pH-pKa))
8. CRDDS (DR. V. KUSUM MADAM)

Bases : log10D = log10P – log10 (1 + 10 (pKa-pH))
• The octanol-water partition coefficient, (log10Pow), has been widely used as a measurement for determining the relative lipophilicity of a drug.
• Drugs that are very lipid soluble or very water-soluble i.e., extremes in partition coefficient, will demonstrate
either low flux into the tissues or
rapid flux followed by accumulation in tissues.
• Both cases are undesirable for controlled release system.
c. Mol.size & Diffusivity
• In addition to diffusion through a variety of biological membranes, drugs in many CRDDS must diffuse through a rate controlling membrane or matrix.
• The ability of drug to pass through membranes, its so called diffusivity, is a function of its molecular size (or molecular weight).
• An important influence upon the value of diffusivity, D, in polymers is the molecular size of the diffusing species.
• The value of D thus is related to the size and shape of the cavities as well as size and shape of the drugs.
• Molecular size of the drug plays a major role when it comes to diffusion of the drug through a biological membrane.
1. Mass spectroscopy (MS or LC-MS) are generally used as the most common methods to determine the molecular size of the drug.
2. Fourier Transform IR- spectroscopy (FTIR) is also used to determine the molecular structure.
• Diffusion of the drug from the matrix or encapsulated form determines the release rate of the drug from the polymer.
• Diffusivity is the rate determining step in CRDDS.
d. Dose Size
• Size of the drug plays a major role in determining the size of the final finished product.
• In case, the dose already high, then formulating the same into controlled release will further increase the overall dosage size & thereby reduced patient compliance.
• For drugs with an elimination half-life of less than 2 hours as well as those administered in large doses, a controlled release dosage form may need to carry a prohibitively large quantity of drug.
e. Complexation
• Complexation is one of the well known method to entrap the drug within a complexing agent like β-cyclodextrin complex.

• These complexes could be helpful in entrapping drugs of very high molecular weight which have low diffusivity through the membrane.
• From formulation point of view, this property also facilitates in increasing the solubility of the drug in the required solvent.
f. Ionization Constant
• This factor have important effects on a wide range of issues including, Dissolution, Membrane partition, Complexation, Chemical stability & drug absorption.
• From the site of release of the drug, its absorption depends upon its ionization constant.
• And, it has been depicted that drugs in unionized form are absorbed faster than the ionized species.
• The Henderson-Hasselbalch eq. provides an estimate of ionized & unionized drug conc, by function of pH…………
Acidic drugs: pKa = - log10(Ka) = pH + log10([HA]/[A-])
Basic drugs : pKa = - log10(Kb) = pH + log10([HB+]/[B-])
Where:
Ka or Kb = ionization constant for acid/basic drugs
[HA] = conc. of unionized acid
[A-] = conc. of ionized acid
[HB+] = conc. of the unionized base
[B] = conc. of the ionized base
g. Drug stability
• Since most oral controlled release systems are designed to release their contents over much of the length of GI tract,
drugs that are unstable in the environment of the intestine
drugs that are unstable in the environment of the stomach
• might be difficult to formulate into prolonged release system.
• In order to counter-act such problems, several modified-release methods have been adopted that restricts the release at the required site of the GIT.
h. Protein Binding
• It refers to the formation of complex with the blood proteins (like albumin) with the absorbed drug.

• This complex leads to….
Inhibition of therapeutic effect of such amount
Half-life is increased (compared to invitro studies)
Toxicity profiles elevated
• Thus, in most of the cases, protein binding is undesirable.
• Many drugs are highly protein binding (may be 95%), thus the need of formulating a modified drug or drug delivery system starts.
NOTE: Generally, the values of diffusion coefficient for intermediate molecular weight drugs i.e., 150- 400 Dalton, through flexible polymers range from 10-6 to 10-9 cm2/sec, with values on the order of 10-8 being most common.
NOTE: For drugs with molecular weight greater than 500 Dalton, the diffusion coefficients in many polymers frequently are so small that they are difficult to quantify, i.e., less than 10-12 cm2/sec.
NOTE: Thus, high molecular weight of drug should be expected to display very slow release kinetics in sustained release devices where diffusion through polymeric membrane or matrix is the release mechanism.

INTRODUCTION:
• Control – Dissolution of the drug from the polymer matrix or encapsulated forms.
• The dissolution process at a steady state is described by Noyes Whitney equation:
dc / dt = k A/V (Cs – C)
dc / dt = (D/h) A (Cs – C)
where, dC/dt = dissolution rate
V = volume of the solution
k = dissolution rate constant
D = diffusion coefficient of drug through pores
h = thickness of the diffusion layer
A = surface area of the exposed solid
Cs = saturated solubility of the drug
C = conc. of drug in the bulk solution
• Of following types based on TECHNICAL SOPHISTICATION:
1. Matrix type
2. Encapsulation type
MATRIX TYPE :
• Matrix dissolution devices are prepared by compressing the drug with slowly dissolving carrier into tablet
• Controlled dissolution by:
1. Altering porosity of tablet
2. Decreasing its wettability
3. Dissolving at slower rate
• First order drug release.
