This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of gel formulation including diclofenac and propolis in the treatment of oral ulcers. Methods: Participants included 100 normal individuals with aphthous, excluding those having allergies to any ingredient in the diclofenac formulation. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: one group received treatment with a combination of diclofenac potassium 3% (10 mg/g, 60 g) and propolis 5% gel (Group II), and the other group received a placebo (Group 1). The patient was evaluated using standard digital photographs and chronic oral mucosal questionnaires on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after healing. Utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test, the two groups were compared. Each group’s changes were examined using Friedman’s test. Results: There was a statistically dramatic change over time in Group II. After one day, the median total score dropped statistically significantly, and from one to three days with effect size (d) 2.485, Group II demonstrated 48% complete healing and 52% partial healing, while Group I demonstrated 4% partial healing and 96% no change. Effect size (V): 0.995. Conclusions: The combination of diclofenac and propolis provided instant relief and an affordable new regimen for treating oral aphthosis.展开更多

DFP granules exhibited low total amounts of impurities when prepared through the wet granulation method using a granulating solvent with a low water/ethanol ratio. The impurities of the wet DFP mass dried at 70 ℃ were higher than those dried at 50 ℃ or 60 ℃. DFP granules were stable under strong light exposure during preparation. DFP granules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1:4 water/ethanol ratio had a relatively smaller particle size and higher angle of repose than those prepared using granulating solvents with other water/ethanol ratios. The dissolution rate of DFP capsules prepared using four different water/ethanol ratios was less than 2% after 10 min of dissolution and increased to 95% within 30 min of dissolution. The total amount of drug impurities of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with 1:4 water/ethanol ratio was considerably lower than those of DFP capsules prepared using a granulating solvent with a 1:0 water/ethanol solvent ratio. Regardless of the water/ethanol ratio, the capsules showed poor stability when exposed to high temperature(60 ℃) and strong light(4500±500 Lux) for 10 days, but were relatively stable at high humidity(92.5% RH). The results of the long-term stability(25±2 ℃ and 60%±10% relative humidity) study showed that DFP granules were more stable than DFP capsules, and were stable for 12 months. The type of encapsulating material did not affect the 2-month stability of DFP. DFP granules are sensitive to granulating solvent and drying temperature and DFP capsules should be stored away from high temperature and strong light.展开更多
