Physical parameters of chlorphenamine maleate suppositories and its release as a function of particle size, concentration and nature of the base.

ABSTRACT

Suppositories of chlorphenamine maleate were formulated. The influence of particle size and percentage concentration of chlorphenamine maleate on the physical standards of its suppositories as well as the release of the drug from oily base (cacao butter), water-soluble base (carbowax) and emulsifying base (Witepsol) has been investigated.
