Pages 7-25 | Published online: 20 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

It is shown that in making sustained release pellets, the effect of film laid upon film has a significant effect on the performance (dissolution characteristics) of sustained release pellets, coated with insoluble films. The penetration of liquid and drug substance in and out of the coated pellet is much more rapid than predicted by diffusion coefficients of homogeneous, cast films. General diffusional equations are obeyed.
