Automated dispensing machines maintain the balance of accessibility, stock control of medications, and protection which were the main features of a safe medication distribution system. It should be linked with medication review and regular patient counselling. Encourage the timely administration of drugs through expanding their access to patient care units and first-dose availability was improved in automated dispensing machines. Physicians allow treatment efficiently by providing convenient access to medications of critically ill patients for emergencies during and after pharmacy hours with automated dispensing machines. This investigation demonstrates that the nature of pharmacotherapy for patients with automated dose dispensing can be improved. This study highlights the impact of an automated dispensing system in primary healthcare, Automated Dispensing Cabinets, or, in an intensive care unit to reduce medication errors. Implementation of automated dispensing systems reduces dispensing errors and gives pharmacists more time to review patient profiles. It recommends that every patient with automatic dose dispensing ought to go through a careful medication review through prescribers and pharmacists. It concluded that the automatic drug dispensing focuses on the effect of a medication review in patients. The ideal recurrence for conducting medication reviews and follow-up will likely contrast between individual patients. Hence, it provides an insight data on medication safety based on the automated dispensing system in accordance with drug complications.

This formulation is a blend of emulsion and gel, and it is an innovative type of drug delivery mechanism. The goal of this review is to gain insight into emulgel preparation and evaluation to determine how essential these dosage forms are. It will be widely utilized in the future since it is simple to use and improves patient compliance. Emulgels are readily removed, spreadable, thixotropic, greaseless, pleasant, emollient, have a long shelf life, and are clear. Gels have several advantages, but their delivery of hydrophobic agents is one of them. To solve this constraint, an emulsion-based technique is being developed. Emulgel is a unique topical medication delivery technology since it has both a gel and an emulsion release control system. When emulsions are mixed with gel as a form of administration, an emulgel with the dual release is created. Polymers with better release patterns have emerged as a consequence of this method, allowing for a controlled and extended-release.

The results suggest the presence of alkaloids, saponin glycosides, phenolics, terpenoids, sterols, proteins and flavonoids in the leaf of the plant. All the extracts were subjected to in vitro determination of their anti-inflammatory potential using inhibition of albumin denaturation as well as anti-proteinase methods. All the concentration levels of the extracts showed the inhibition of albumin denaturation. The 500 µg/mL methanolic extract had shown the greatest inhibition capacity (64.36%) whereas the lowest inhibition capacity was exhibited by 100 µg/mL of the benzene extract (1.29%). The highest anti-proteinase activity was exhibited by methanolic extract solution at 500 µg/mL concentration, inhibiting 51.37% while the 100 µg/mL methanolic solution was able to inhibit only 13.01% protease activity.

Plants as Senna occidentalis produce a wide variety of phytochemical constituents, which are secondary metabolites and are used either directly or indirectly in the pharmaceutical industry. Phytochemical screening and antiplasmodial activity of the aqueous and ethanol extracts of S. occidentalis (L.) leaves and stems were studied in this work. The preliminary screening of the leaf extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosids, quinine, protein and amino acid, phenol, flavonoids and carbohydrate and showed absence of tannins. Likewise, stem extracts which shows absence of phenols in addition to tannins in the ethanol extract. These extracts were assayed at various concentration using double serial dilution (20mg/ml, 10mg/ml, 5mg/ml, 2.5mg/ml and 1.25mg/ml) for antiplasmodial effect after 24, 48 and 72hours respectively, and the activity of the extracts were obtained as percentage activity of the extracts after 72 hours of incubation period. The result of antiplasmodial activity revealed that both aqueous and ethanol stem and leaf extracts of the plant were effective against the malaria parasite. However, the aqueous stem extract showed greater activities than the ethanol extract. At extract concentration of 20mg/ml, both ethanol and aqueous extracts produced highest parasite clearance rate after 72 hours of incubation with percentage elimination of 77%. From these observations, S. occidentalis is likely to contain promising chemical compounds which can be utilized as an effective plant-based medicine for the treatment of malaria.
