Polypharmacology is the design or use of pharmaceutical agents that act on multiple targets or disease pathways. [1] Despite scientific advancements and an increase of global R&D spending, drugs are frequently withdrawn from markets. This is primarily due to their side effects or toxicities.
PVP is a frequently used binder in pharmaceutical tablet formulations. [5] Pharmacokinetic studies in humans and various laboratory animal models indicate no to very little systemic absorption of PVP following oral administration. [6] PVP added to iodine forms a complex called povidone-iodine that possesses disinfectant properties. [7]
Polyorthoesters are used as hydrophobic implant materials for drug depots for continuous drug delivery by surface erosion. [2] The active ingredient (which is homogeneously dispersed in a matrix of polyorthoester) should be released as evenly as possible into the human or animal organism over an extended period of time in a zero-order release kinetics.
Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (polyvinyl polypyrrolidone, PVPP, crospovidone, crospolividone, or E1202) is a highly cross-linked modification of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).. The cross-linked form of PVP is used as a disintegrant (see also excipients) in pharmaceutical tablets. [1]
The effectiveness of specific interventions to improve the appropriate use of polypharmacy such as pharmaceutical care and computerised decision support is unclear. [10] This is due to low quality of current evidence surrounding these interventions. [10]
Polysorbate 20 (common commercial brand names include Kolliphor PS 20, [2] Scattics, Alkest TW 20, Tween 20, and Kotilen-20) is a polysorbate-type nonionic surfactant formed by the ethoxylation of sorbitan monolaurate.
This polymer has high molar masses without the use of a chain extender. Since then, several PBS producers such as Hexing Chemical (Anhui, China), Xinfu Pharmaceutical (Hangzhou, China) or IRe Chemical (South Korea) appeared on the market. In 2010 Hexing Chemical became China's first large-scale PBS enterprise, with the annual capacity of 10,000 ...
A polypill or single pill combination (SPC) is a type of drug combination consisting of a single drug product in pill form (i.e., tablet or capsule) and thus combines multiple medications (that is, more than one active pharmaceutical ingredient). The prefix "poly" means "multiple", referring to the multiplicity of distinct drugs in a given "pill".
