ABSTRACT Terminalia superba Engl. & Diels (Combretaceae), is a member of the genus Terminalia that comprises around 100 species distributed in tropical regions of the world. In Africa it is found along the coast of west and central Africa. It has different uses in traditional medicine such as antimalarial, anti-diabetic, anti-fungal, and anti-hypertensive in the areas where it is found. Most of these uses are yet to be scientifically investigated. The powdered stem bark of Terminalia superba ...
ABSTRACT Poorly water-soluble drug candidates are associated with dissolution, absorption and bioavailability challenges. Consequently, poor solubility and non-reproducible absorption from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration constitute a biopharmaceutical concern to dosage form design and formulation. The use of lipid-based formulations to address this concern has been the choice of many scientists in the drug delivery domain. Artemether and Lumefantrine the drugs investi...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND People with advanced HIV I AIDS are vulnerable to infections and malignancies that are called opportunistic infections because they have a weakened immune system. Opportunistic infections continue to cause morbidity and mortality in patients with Human Immune Deficiency Virns (HIV)-1 infection. Some Ois only affect women or affect women more than men.Potent combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced the incidence of Ols for certain patients with access to care. H...

=AbstractIntroduction:Pharmacovigilance encompasses all the scientific methods and reports that deal with detecting,assessing, monitoring, understanding and prevention of adverse drugs reactions. ReportingADRs is one way of ensuring drugs safety of the drugs already on the market. Through thesereports, new safety parameters and improvements of various medicines can be done andimplemented. Monitoring medicines provides a better understanding of possible drugs effects.Also helps get information...
ABSTRACT This study was done to evaluate the physicochemical properties, quality control parameters and the dissolution profiles of circulating samples of artemether/lumefantrine sold at Pharmacies in Kampala. The physicochemical parameters and assay of thirteen ( 13) brands of the products were assessed through the evaluation of uniformity of tablet weight, friability test, disintegration test and assay of active pharmaceutical ingredients according to established methods. The dissolution r...

ABSTRACT Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are significant causes of morbidity and mortality and may cause many hospitalizations leading to large economic burdens to patients and to society. Postmarketing surveillance offers assessment of drug released to the market in different categories of people, other than those in whom the drug was tested. However dmg reactions are currently little or not monitored from the open system pharmacy comprising of community pharmacies and drug stores. This study ...
ABSTRACT Background: Approximately 2.37 billion people Jive in areas at risk for transmission Of pfalciparum malaria, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa (Hay, et al., 2009). Combination Artemether/Lumefantrine (Coartem, Riamet, and Falcynate-LF) is a fixed dose Artemisininbased combination therapy (ACT) indicated for the treatment of acute uncomplicated Plasmodium Jalciparum malaria. It is an effective and well tolerated treatment providing high cure rates even in areas with multi-drug resistan...
