The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of tiptop yogurt as a some of probiotics against enteric pathogens isolated at KIU-TH. It was conducted to isolate and identify any probiotics available in yogurt, obtain cell free supernatants (bacteriocins) and expose them to 0 selected enteric pathogens, evaluate the effect of bacteriocins from individual isolates and the combination of the bacteriocins on the pathogens. Ciprofloxacin 50mg/ml was used as a positive control. It was hypothesiz...
ABSTRACT Erlangea tomentosa is been used traditionally in the management of several diseases including pain and inflammation. However, their efficacy has not been scientifically validated. The aim of this study therefore is to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the aqueous leaf extract. The plant materials were collected from Rukararwe Eco centre, Bushenyi district in Uganda. The oral median lethal dose (LDso) in mice was determined using Lorke's method. Analgesic a...
ABSTRACT The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has become a global problem with implications for effective therapy of infections and dose resistance. The objective of this study is to determine the profile of antibiotic use at the Regional Hospital Buea. The data used for this study was obtained using a Checklist and the data obtained were analysed with the aid of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and presented in a percentage table. In this study females were higher 83(55.3%), whic...
Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effects of ethanolic and hexane extracts of Sonchus oleraceus in normal albino rats using fasting blood glucose and glucose tolerance tests. About 200 g leaves of S. oleraceus were macerated in 2 liters of hexane for two days, filtered and evaporated to dryness. Sixty albino rats were divided into six groups. Negative control group received water (5ml) and the positive control group administered by glibenclamide (5 mg/kg) w...
ABSTRACT Background: Irrational use of medicines is a maJor problem worldwide. Studies conducted in several countries, including Uganda, indicate that more than 50% of all medicines used globally are used irrationally. Irrational use of medicines results in increased risk of adverse reactions, wastage of the scarce resources, and development of preventable resistance of organisms to commonly used antibiotics. To be able design appropriate interventions, there is need to carry out drug use stu...

The impurity 2, 6-xylidine is the starting material for its manufacture, degradation product of lidocaine on storage and metabolite when administered. This study seeks to identify 3 brands of lidocaine in Uganda Pharmacies, assess level of impurity and drug content by a comparative pharmacopoeial chemical analysis. Aim: To do a comparative pharmacopoeial an...
