Abstract
Objective: To correlate serum magnesium levels among pregnant women with increasing parity and comparison of magnesium levels in rural and urban areas of Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Materials and Methods: A total of 100 pregnant women with pregnancy duration of 24 weeks and more were enrolled for the study. Blood from the antecubital vein was drawn and serum magnesium levels were estimated by the colorimetric method.

Results: In all, 48% of the pregnant women had serum levels less than the normal level (1.80 mg/dl). There was a significant decrease in serum magnesium levels with the increase in parity. But no significant decrease of magnesium level in serum was found when compared among rural and urban pregnant women.

Abstract
Ion exchange resin (IER) is high molecular weight polyelectrolyte having charged functional site. IER are chemically vinyl, divinyl benzene and polystyrene copolymers. IER in past years have received extensive attention by pharmaceutical industry due to their versatile application. Previously IER were mainly used for water purification only but recently they have been studied for Novel Drug Delivery System. IER are mainly used for taste masking but, they also possess modifying release properties. The IER are complexed with drug to form resinates by batch process or column process. If necessary the resinates are coated with polymeric material by microencapsulation technique. Coated resinates acts as a controllable rate limiting factor for exchange of ions and also for exchange of drug, thus, modifying the release of drugs. The review article highlights the application of sustained and controlled release resinate for the development of various drug delivery system.

Abstract:
A simple and sensitive spectroflourimetric method has been developed for the estimation of Darifenacin in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Beers law was obeyed in the range of 1 – 5 µg/ml in methanol at an excitation wavelength (λex) of 292nm and an emission wavelength (λem) of 314nm with good correlation coefficient of 0.9995. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of Quantification (LOQ) for this method are 0.138 and 0.418 µg/ml respectively and the relative standard deviation of intra-day precision was 0.71% and inter-day precision was 1.07%. Stability studies with respect to time and temperature were also carried out. The results obtained were in good agreement with the labelled amounts of the marketed formulations. This method has been statistically evaluated and found to be accurate and precise.
