Original Abstract of the Article :
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the complexation potential of brompheniramine maleate (BPM) and tannic acid (TA) for sustained release and taste masking effects. The complexes (1:1-1:7 TA to BPM ratio) were prepared by the solvent evaporation method using methanol, phosphate buffer pH ...See full text at original site

Tannate Complexes: A Potential Oasis for Taste Masking and Sustained Release

The development of effective and palatable medications for children is a constant challenge in the realm of pharmaceutical science. This study explores the potential of tannate complexes as a novel approach to improve the taste and release profile of brompheniramine maleate (BPM), an antihistaminic drug. The researchers investigated the formation of complexes between BPM and tannic acid (TA) in various ratios, using different solvents. They then analyzed the characteristics of these complexes, focusing on their morphology, chemical interactions, thermal behavior, crystallinity, taste masking, and dissolution properties.

Tannate Complexes: A Promising Path Through the Desert of Drug Delivery

The study found that the tannate complexes effectively masked the bitter taste of BPM and significantly reduced its solubility, resulting in a sustained release of the drug over 24 hours. This suggests that tannate complexes have the potential to enhance the delivery of BPM, making it more palatable and effective for pediatric use.

Navigating the Desert of Drug Delivery: Seeking Safe and Effective Solutions

These findings are a promising step towards developing more palatable and effective medications for children. By exploring innovative approaches like tannate complexes, researchers are paving the way for a more patient-friendly experience with medications.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This study demonstrates the potential of tannate complexes as a novel approach to improve the taste and release profile of medications. This research highlights the importance of continuous innovation in drug delivery systems, especially for pediatric populations.
