Formulation, characterization and in vivo evaluation of nanoemulsion for enhancing oral bioavailability of ibuprofen / Nurfazreen Anuar

Ibuprofen, a phenyl propionic acid derivative, plays a significant role in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and related conditions. However, ibuprofen is practically insoluble in water and would not completely absorb in the gastrointestinal tract. Nanoemulsion carrier system wa...
