Study on the in vitro Release Characteristics of Shengmai Pulse Controlled Release Dropping Pills / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To prepare Shengmai pulse controlled release dropping pills and investigate the in vitro release. Methods:Shengmai dropping pills were placed in a fluidized bed and coated respectively with an aqueous solution of a swelling layer ( containing croscarmellose sodium) and a controlled release layer ( containing ethylcellulose aqueous dispersion) . The effects of different coating weight gain on the drug release from the swelling layer and the controlled release layer were studied by central composite design-re-sponse surface methodology and in vitro dissolution test. Results:The weight gain of the swelling layer and the controlled release layer was 20% and 10%, respectively, and the expected release time was 4 h. Conclusion:By adjusting the coating weight gain, the drop-ping pills with different release time can be obtained.
