Abstract

Upalne bolesti crijeva kronične su, inflamatorne i idiopatske bolesti karakterizirane ponavljajućim epizodama upale gastrointestinalnog trakta zbog abnormalnog imunološkog odgovora na crijevnu mikrofloru. U posljednje vrijeme primjena dodataka prehrani sve je učestalija posebice kod pacijenata koji boluju od kroničnih bolesti poput upalnih bolesti crijeva. Američka farmakopeja sadrži priznate standarde identiteta, snage, kvalitete, čistoće, pakiranja i označavanja ljekovitih tvari, oblika doziranja i drugih terapeutskih proizvoda, uključujući dodatke prehrani.
Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bilo je provjeriti zadovoljavaju li dodaci prehrani koji sadrže Aloe veru zahtjeve Američke farmakopeje s obzirom na fizikalno-kemijsku karakterizaciju gotovih dozirnih oblika. Provedeno ispitivanje pokazuje kako ispitani uzorci tableta, tvrdih i mekih kapsula zadovoljavaju uvijete Američke farmakopeje.

Abstract (english)

Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic, inflammatory and idiopathic diseases characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract due to an abnormal immune response to the intestinal microflora. In recent times, the use of nutritional supplements has become increasingly popular, especially in patients suffering from chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases. The US Pharmacopoeia contains recognized standards for the identity, strength, quality, purity, packaging, and labeling of medicinal substances, dosage forms, and other therapeutic products, including dietary supplements.
The aim of this thesis was to check whether food supplements containing Aloe vera meet the requirements of the American Pharmacopoeia regarding the physical-chemical characterization of the finished dosage forms. The conducted testing shows that the tested samples of tablets, hard and soft capsules meet the requirements of the American Pharmacopoeia.
