  Author(s): Gannu Praveen KumarGannu Praveen Kumar
  
  The Self Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) have gained considerable interest over the past decade for their use in various applications. They have been shown to increase bioavailability and decrease side effects of highly toxic drugs. Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) such as Diclofenac Sodium (DFS) lead to major side effect gastric toxicity. The aim of this study was to formulate, characterize and evaluate DFS entrapped SNEDDS. SNEDDS were prepared by emulsion diffusion evaporation technique. DFS formulated SNEDDS showed the least size of 101 ± 3.5 nm, zeta potential of -18.5 ± 1.6 mv and entrapment efficiency of 90.6 ± 2.1 in FESIF respectively. The initial drug release was rapid in FASIF followed by phosphate buffer and the total drug release was high i.e; 74.18% in FASIF followed by phosphate buffer i.e; 70.14%. The drug released for..
