Bioavailability is an important factor in effective therapeutic activity. A drug with low bioavailability can have the problem with solubility or permeability. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen is a medication used to treat pain and fever. Paracetamol is generally safe at recommended doses. Paracetamol is classified as a mild analgesic. It belongs to BCS class III. A pharmaceutical co-crystal is a single crystalline solid that incorporates two neutral molecules, one being an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the other a cocrystal former. In the present study co-crystals of paracetamol were prepared using different co-former. Different ratio of urea, succinic acid and tartaric acid were used to design the cocrystals. They were formulated by two different methodscooling cr... view more»
