Guides readers on the proper use of in vitro drug release
methodologies in order to evaluate the performance of special dosage
forms
In the last decade, the application of drug release testing has widened
to a variety of novel/special dosage forms. In order to predict the in
vivo behavior of such dosage forms, the design and development of the in
vitro test methods need to take into account various aspects, including
the dosage form design and the conditions at the site of application and
the site of drug release. This unique book is the first to cover the
field of in vitro release testing of special dosage forms in one volume.
Featuring contributions from an international team of experts, it
presents the state of the art of the use of in vitro drug release
methodologies for assessing special dosage forms' performances and
describes the different techniques required for each one.
In Vitro Drug Release Testing of Special Dosage Forms covers the in
vitro release testing of: lipid based oral formulations; chewable oral
drug products; injectables; drug eluting stents; inhalation products;
transdermal formulations; topical formulations; vaginal and rectal
delivery systems and ophthalmics. The book concludes with a look at
regulatory aspects.
- Covers both oral and non-oral dosage forms
- Describes current regulatory conditions for in vitro drug release
testing
- Features contributions from well respected global experts in
dissolution testing
In Vitro Drug Release Testing of Special Dosage Forms will find a
place on the bookshelves of anyone working with special dosage forms,
dissolution testing, drug formulation and delivery, pharmaceutics, and
regulatory affairs.
