'I decided on pharmacy because I had a keen interest in chemistry and biology. Working part-time in a community pharmacy allowed me to view at first hand how rewarding pharmacy is, as it means we can help people from all walks of life using the chemical and drug expertise where there is plenty of contact with the general public.' In future pharmacists will have more responsibility and more duties to perform, meaning we will have a bigger role to play, like doctors.

Formulation and evaluation of mucilage based matrix tablets of Lamivudine

Formulation and evaluation of mucilage based matrix tablets of

Lamivudine

The present investigation is aimed at formulating and evaluating Mucilage based sustained release

matrix tablets of Lamivudine using different natural polymers such as Guar Mucilage, Xanthan Mucilage,

Rosin Mucilage, Pectin, and Sodium alginate taken at 30%, 40% and 50% of the total weight of the

tablet. Lamivudine is a potent hydrophilic anti viral agent indicated for treatment of AIDS

(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). It was found that the cumulative percent drug release

decreased with increasing concentration of natural Mucilages. All the formulations were able to

retard the release of the drug beyond 18 hours except pectin and sodium alginate were unable to

sustain the drug release from the matrix tablets. F5 (40% Xanthan Mucilage) formulation was

selected as optimized formulation. The swelling study states that the swelling index was

increased up to 6 hours and there after that the swelling index was decreased. No chemical

interaction between Drug and the Mucilage were seen as confirmed by FT-IR studies. Thus, sustained

release matrix tablets of Lamivudine using natural Biodegradable and biocompatible polymers

were successfully formulated, evaluated and found to be suitable candidates in extending the

release of the drug from the matrix tablets.

Fatigue Cause No. 4: Anemia

Fatigue Cause No. 4: Anemia

Anemia is a leading cause of fatigue in women. Menstrual blood loss can cause an iron deficiency, putting women at risk. Red blood cells (shown here) are needed because they carry oxygen to your tissues and organs.
Fix: For anemia caused by an iron deficiency, taking iron supplements and eating iron-rich foods, such as lean meat, liver, shellfish, beans, and enriched cereal, can help.

Celebrate your successful changes

Celebrate!

Celebrate your successful changes. Whenever you have implemented a new step in your weight-control plan, give yourself a small (non-food!) reward like time with a friend, a pedicure, or a new accessory. Reward yourself for making a change toward a slimming lifestyle without a complicated or restrictive diet plan.

Burn an Extra 100 Calories Per Day

Burn an Extra 100 Calories Per Day

Even if your eating habits don't change, burning an extra 100 calories a day can amount to a 10-pound weight loss over a year. While the number of calories burned depends upon your weight, some good activities that burn around 100 calories are:
20 minutes of walking or lawn work
30 minutes of housecleaning
10 minutes of light jogging

Drink Green Tea

Drink Green Tea

Drink green tea. Some studies have found that green tea can boost metabolism, possibly through the action of phytochemicals called catechins. In any case, green tea (unsweetened) is a healthy and refreshing drink that is low in calories.

Reduce Sugary Drinks

Reduce Sugary Drinks

Enforce a ban on sodas. You will save about 10 (!) teaspoons of sugar if you swap out the regular soda for a water or zero-calorie seltzer. You can add citrus fruits or mint to seltzer or plain water for a taste treat.
Researchers have shown that the liquid sugar in sodas does not signal the body to stop eating as well as other sources of sugar. In one study, participants ate an extra 450 calories' worth of jellybeans per day or drank 450 calories' worth of soda. The candy eaters unconsciously reduced their overall calorie intake to compensate, but the soda drinkers did not. The soda drinkers gained an average of 2.5 pounds over the four-week study.

Fill Up on Fewer Calories With Soup

Fill Up on Fewer Calories With Soup

Soup is a great choice both as an appetizer and a main meal. At the beginning of a meal, a broth-based soup (avoid cream soups!) can slow down your eating and fill you up earlier. Examples of healthy broth-based soups are minestrone, won-ton, or tortilla soup. You can make an easy soup by starting with a low-sodium broth, adding vegetables and a protein of your choice, and simmering until the vegetables are tender.

More Sleep Helps Weight Loss

More Sleep Helps Weight Loss

Research has shown that sleeping can be beneficial for weight loss. A study from the University of Michigan showed that just one hour more per night of sleep could translate to a 14 pound weight loss over the course of a year in a person who eats 2,500 calories per day. This amounts to a 6% decrease in calories from mindless eating when sleep replaces leisure activities. Other studies show that sleep deprivation can increase appetite and make you more likely to overeat.
