    Abstract:
    Corticosteroids, often referred to as steroid medications, contain man-made versions of the hormone cortisol. Corticosteroids are mainly used to relieve inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the immune system causes part of the body to become swollen, red and filled with fluid in response to an infection. The immune system is the body’s natural defence against infection and illness. Steroids form an important component in pregnancy to reduce the inflammation and are used since very long time for different conditions in different forms. Though very few molecules are used since very long time. Now increase knowledge in uses of corticosteroids in pregnant women who suffer from asthma, skin diseases, rheumatoid arthritis etc.

    ABSTRACT:
    Generally, controlled release dosage forms used in many applications. Superporous hydrogel is also one of them. It has lot of advantages over conventional hydrogel. Superporous hydrogel having faster swelling due to interconnected highly porous structure. Such other properties like slippery property, their mechanical strength and better foaming process are advantageous over conventional hydrogel. Its unique mechanism for achieving gastric retention, a number of hurdles have to be overcome for any approach to be clinically useful. For example, intra-gastric floating systems require the presence of gastric juice to be effective, and this may not be the case in the fasted state. Mucoadhesive systems can easily lose their mucoadhesive properties by interaction with any materials soluble in gastric juice. In this review, types of superporous hydrogel, their preparation, their characterizations and applications are discussed.

    ABSTRACT:
    The cardiovascular risk factors were significantly abnormally altered in diabetic rats when compared to normal control. The present study FLEt with low dose of OHA’s indicates the significant improvement in endothelial dependent vasodilatation because the percentage relaxation produced by acetylcholine was more significant when these groups were compared with diabetic control.However all the treated groups restored these changes significantly to normal conditions in diabetic rats when compared to diabetic control. The combined therapy of FLEt and Fluvastatin was found to be significantly effective. Moreover, this combination was also found to demonstrate synergistic behavior than pioglitazone plus fluvastatin.
    We conclude that of preventive therapy with combination of FLEt with OHA’s (low dose) may prevent the endothelial dysfunction in diabetic patients (prediabetic state) due to free radical scavenging activity, metabolic control.
