1 10. 2  Mechanism of Polymer Degradation and Erosion: ï The difference between polymer âdegradationâ and âerosionâ is not clear in many cases. 3  Biodegradable polymers undergo hydrolytic bond cleavage to form water soluble degradation products that can dissolve in an aqueous environment, resulting in polymer erosion. Mechanism of Hydrolytic Degradation ï Hydrolytic degradation of members of the polylactide/glycolide family proceeds through four stages as represented in Figure 2: First stage of water diffusion followed by second stage, in which oligomers with acidic endgroups autocatalyze the hydrolysis reaction.
Each 5 mg SALAGENÂ® Tablet for oral administration contains 5 mg of pilocarpine hydrochloride. Inactive ingredients in the tablet, the tablet's film coating, and polishing are: carnauba wax, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, titanium dioxide and other ingredients. Each 7.5 mg SALAGENÂ® Tablet for oral administration contains 7.5 mg of pilocarpine hydrochloride. Inactive ingredients in the tablet, the tablet's film coating, and polishing are: carnauba wax, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, titanium dioxide, FD&C blue#2 aluminum lake, and other ingredients.
Lotrel contains a combination of amlodipine and benazepril. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Amlodipine relaxes (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow. Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Benazepril also widens blood vessels and also prevents the body from retaining water. Lotrel is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lotrel may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
