Description

Application

• Hydroxyzine- and cetirizine-loaded liposomes: effect of duration of thin film hydration, freeze-thawing, and changing buffer pH on encapsulation and stability.: Discusses the encapsulation efficiency of hydroxyzine and cetirizine in L-α-Phosphatidylcholine liposomes, emphasizing the impact of preparation conditions on liposomal stability and drug release (Elzainy et al., 2005).

Biochem/physiol Actions
