Formulation And In Vivo Evaluation Of Ritonavir Nanosuspension
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aim: Formulation and in vivo evaluation of Ritonavir nanosuspension.
Objectives: To study the significance variance in the pharmacokinetic parameters of ritonavir.
Methods: Blood samples were collected and studied for Pharmacokinetic parameters.
Results: It was observed that when compared to pure drug, nanosuspension had improved pharmacokinetic properties.
Conclusion: In the current study, the prepared NS have better bioavailability when compared to pure drug.
