Abstract

The goal of this study was to design Cefpodoxime Proxetil SMEDDS (self-microemulsifying drug delivery system), to improve solubility and permeability which could improve therapeutic performance and drug loading capacity. Castor oil, Tween 80, PEG 400 were used as the oil, surfactant, and, co-surfactant respectively. A ternary phase diagram was used to choose the best formulations. Selected formulations were evaluated for various parameters. According to the findings, all SMEDDS formulations had nano-sized globules, good stability, and rapid dispersibility of microemulsions, which were clear and slightly bluish in colour, and no symptoms of phase separation, creaming or, cracking Intestinal permeability studies of SMEDDS formulations show that the drug diffused through a biological membrane is more when given in form of SMEDDS. The present investigation has shown that it is possible to enhance the solubility and permeability of poorly soluble drugs.
