Abstract: After Covid-19 became pandemic, scientists instead of routine rt PCR technique to identify SARS-CoV2 viral RNA, were trying to find rapid testing methods for the virus. Many methods were to identify SARS-CoV2 virus developed, such as immunochemical, electronic, physical identification after collection of the virus by filters. Dogs were trained to use their smelling power to identify very quickly the Covid-19 patients.

Abstract: Motion sickness is a very common disturbance of the inner ear. It is caused by repeated motion from movements that disturb the inner ear.An immediate and sustained relief is required to overcome this condition. Hence cinnarizine beads were formulated by emulsion gelation method by using low methoxy pectin (LMP) and sodium alginate.In this study, the best formulation was subjected to in vivo pharmacokinetic study and compared with the marketed formulation. The results revealed that cinnarizine beads exhibited better area under plasma drug concentration time curve (AUC) than marketed formulation. Thus it was concluded that the sustained release formulation containing Cinnarizine was found to be efficacious and satisfactory.
Key words: Cinnarizine, Floating drug delivery system
