Formulation and Evaluation of Liquid Oral Suspension of Paracetamol Using Newly Isolated and Characterized Hygrophila Spinosa Seed Mucilage as Suspending Agent

Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to demonstrate and evaluate the suspending property of newly isolated, purified, and characterized Hygrophila spinosa seed mucilage in liquid oral suspensions of paracetamol.Methods: Isolation of mucilage from H. spinosa seeds was done by maceration process, and then it was characterized by phytochemical screening, solubility, pH, swelling index, flow rate, viscosity, loss on drying, and cytotoxicity. The characterized mucilage was then used as a suspending agent for … Show more

“…This compound is a calcium channel blocker that is used for the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension, particularly in pediatric and geriatric patients. It is highly protein bound 70-90% and undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism with relatively poor oral bioavailability of 40% [7]. We selected this drug as an active agent because it is compatible with suspending vehicles, which are intended for the treatment of pediatric and geriatric patients [8].…”
