Objective: This study aims to assess students studying at pharmacy institutes that are located in Lahore, Pakistan. Methodology: An online cross-sectional survey was performed from 25th August to 25th December, 2020 in order to collect the data from students. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version: 25) was used to commute descriptive statistics and independent t-test.

Irrational drug use, polypharmacy and the current epidemic of bacterial resistance is attributed to the over use of anti-microbial drugs. Objectives: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the utilization pattern of fluoroquinolones, to find significant difference between defined daily dose and prescribed daily dose of such antibiotics. Methodology: Quantitative observational, retrospective study was performed to measure the use of antibiotics, specifically Fluoroquinolones in the northern region of Punjab, Gujranwala District, Pakistan. Total 300 patients were enrolled in this study. Data was collected from the patients of all age regardless of their gender, by prescription review. Results: Total 300 prescriptions were reviewed to evaluate the prescription pattern of fluoroquinolones in outpatients. Out of 300 prescriptions, the average number of drugs per prescription was 4.5, maximum number of drugs per prescription was 8 and minimum one drug was prescribed in 28 (9.3) prescriptions. The number of prescriptions that contains the drugs without generic names were 71 (23.7) and which contains one drug with generic names were 203 (67.7). Encounter with antibiotic and injection prescribed were 79.3% and 5.3%, respectively. The most commonly prescribed anti-biotic was ciprofloxacin followed by levofloxacin (maximum defined daily dose). Conclusion: In this study we observed the drug utilization review of fluoroquinolones antibiotics by evaluating the prescribing patterns among the outpatients. All the study drugs were prescribed by their brand names rather than generic names which is not a rational prescribing and utilization pattern, leading to the enforcement of antibiotic stewardship program.","PeriodicalId":142550,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacy & Integrated Health Sciences","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133707996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To design an oral dosage form, poor bioavailability is the major challenge. Objectives: The aim of this study was to improve the solubility of mebendazole (MBZ) by formulating solid dispersion (SDS) and self-emulsifying solid dispersions (SESDS). Mebendazole is an BCS class II drug having low solubility and can ultimately lead to poor absorption and low bioavailability. Methodology: Physical mixture and kneading method were employed to enhance the solubility of MBZ and prepare SDS and SESDS using poloxamer-188 as the hydrophilic carrier. Soybean oil, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and Transcutol-P were used as oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively. Eight formulations were designed to formulate SDS by varying the ratios of MBZ and Poloxamer-188 (1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4). All formulations were evaluated for solubility studies, and a formulation that showed maximum enhanced solubility was selected to prepare SESDS of mebendazole. All of the prepared formulations were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy to check chemical interactions, crystallinity, thermal stability, drug entrapment and morphological changes, respectively. Results: The results show that SDS and SESDS improved solubility compared to that of a pure drug. However, SESDS prepared using kneading methods showed the highest drug solubility (6.61 folds) as compared to pure drug. Conclusion: The study concluded that solubility of MBZ improved due to increased wettability, hydrophilicity of carrier and reduced crystallinity.","PeriodicalId":142550,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacy & Integrated Health Sciences","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130355660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently essential oil, an important constituent of therapeutic and scented plant has been explored for their antimicrobial activity. Objectives: In this study, antibacterial activities of rosemary essential oil (REO) alone and also in conjunction with beta lactam antibiotic cefuroxime (CXM) were assessed. The purity of REO was checked by gas chromatography / mass spectrophotometry method (GC-MS). Methodology: By agar well diffusion method for REO and its diluents with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tween 80, the zone of inhibition (ZOI) against four Gram positive bacterial strains of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis and three Gram negative bacterial strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1:2,1:10, 1:20, 1:40 and 1:50). E. coli as bacterial and DMSO as solvent were used as a control. Results: Antimicrobial activity was found to be highest against Staphylococcus aureus with ZOI 17.56mm and the lowest against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with ZOI 5.53 mm. The combination of REO and CXM indicated synergistic effects against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis and antagonistic effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and indifferent effects against Bacillus subtilis and bacillus epidermidis based on fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) values. The t test was applied to FIC values that showed significant p value (< 0.5). Conclusion: In conclusion, the antibacterial activity of the REO and CXM was enhanced when administered in combination, with the exception of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The aim is to highlight the importance of pharmacists among patients regarding their medication therapy and lifestyle modification to provide clear evidence of health gain. Methodology: It is a non-experimental based questionnaire study which is performed in community pharmacy and medical stores of Lahore, Islamabad, Gujranwala and Sargodha. Most of the people in Pakistan visit medical stores for the grant of medication without pharmacist advice in rural areas of Punjab Pakistan. But in big cities such as Lahore, Islamabad people visit pharmacies for grant of their medication and in some pharmacies pharmacist counsel the patient regarding their medication and visit a pharmacist are more satisfied and feel improvement in their condition.

Methods: In this cross sectional observational study with 1175 pupils, initially screened for acne, the data of only 510 pupils (43.4%) -categorized according to Lehmann grading scale- were collected from the University of the Punjab, Lahore and its beleaguered community. Results: Our data suggested that 32.74%, 47.45% and 19.80% participants were suffering from mild, moderate and severe acne, respectively. Stress (p=0.002), anger (p=0.000), smoking (p=0.003), overproduction of oil (p=0.028), protein supplement (p=0.05), intake of cheese (p=0.044) and duration of acne (p=0.000) were strongly associated with severity of acne. Among all, only 65.88% of patients were taking either oral (doxycycline) or topical (clindamycin gel) medications, while others failed to opt any treatment.
