International journal of pharmaceutics, 420(2), 251-255 (2011-09-13)
The objective of the present study was to formulate a microemulsion system for oral administration to improve the solubility and bioavailability of fenofibrate. Various formulations were prepared using different ratios of oils, surfactants and co-surfactants (S&CoS). Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were

This research determined the uptake of individual components of topically applied microemulsions into the stratum corneum (SC) and assessed their molecular effects on skin barrier function. The microemulsions comprised oleic acid, Tween20, Transcutol and water. The effects of selected formulations
Bhupinder Singh et al.
Drug delivery, 18(8), 599-612 (2011-10-20)
Carvedilol, a widely prescribed cardiovascular drug for hypertension and congestive heart failure, exhibits low and variable bioavailability owing to poor absorption and extensive hepatic first-pass metabolism. The current research work, therefore, entails formulation development of liquid self-nano-emulsifying drug delivery systems
