In previous work, the use of psyllium huskas the main component of sustained release preparations, was investigated. Granules of Metformin HCl containing different hydrocolloids namely; psyllium Husk and sodium carboxy-methyl cellulose (Na CMC), “System I”, and granules of sodium salicylate containing these hydrocolloids in addition to stearic acid, “System II’ were prepared. In vitro release studies in phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) clearly revealed the superiority of psyllium husk and Na CMCcombination in sustaining the release of both drugs. The introduction of stearic acid in formulations SC5 and SP5 have, significantly, slowed down the release of Sodium salicylate to 46% and 53%, respectively, after 7 hours. Mathematical modeling of the release data revealed that the release mechanism which describes the diffusion of both drugs from these systems is driven by a complex behavior such as swelling, matrix erosion as well as diffusion through the swollen matrix of most formulations. Evaluation of the drug release mechanism from these systems suggested that the release could be described by a complex mechanism, which may involve First-order kinetics, Higuchi diffusion controlled as well as Korsmeyer Peppas models

All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors.
Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the manuscript but without intellectual input should only be recognized in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript. Also, one of the authors should be selected as the corresponding author to communicate with the journal and approve the final version of the manuscript for publication in the LJMR.
Peer-review Policy
- All the manuscripts submitted to LJMR will be subjected to the double-blinded peer-review process;
- The manuscript will be reviewed by two suitable experts in the respective subject area.
- Reports of all the reviewers will be considered while deciding on acceptance/revision or rejection of a manuscript.
- Editor-In-Chief will make the final decision, based on the reviewer’s comments.
- Editor-In-Chief can ask one or more advisory board members for their suggestions upon a manuscript, before making the final decision.
- Associate editor and review editors provide administrative support to maintain the integrity of the peer-review process.
- In case, authors challenge the editor’s negative decision with suitable arguments, the manuscript can be sent to one more reviewer and the final decision will be made based upon his recommendations.
