Objective: To compare the
dissolution of compound fructus forsythiae,
paracetamol and
chlorphenamine maleate cap-sules from different manufacturers.
Methods: The
dissolution test was carried out by a basket
method in 900 ml
dissolution medium with the rotating speed at 100 r·min-1. The
dissolution profiles of compound fructus forsythiae,
paracetamol and
chlorphenamine mal-eate
capsules from different manufacturers in four
dissolution media including
hydrochloric acid solution ,
pH 4.5
acetate buffer solu-tion,
water and
pH 6.8
phosphate buffer solution were determined,and the
dissolution curves were compared by a
similar factor meth-od.
Results: The cumulative
dissolution of compound fructus forsythiae,
paracetamol and
chlorphenamine maleate
capsules from seven manufacturers was all over 70% in 30 min in
hydrochloric acid solution ,while failed to dissolve well in
pH 4.5
acetate buffer solution ,
water and
pH 6.8
phosphate buffer solution . All the
dissolution curves in the 4
dissolution media were different among the batches.
Conclusion: The quality of compound fructus forsythiae,
paracetamol and
chlorphenamine maleate
capsules from various manufacturers is much different. Promising
dissolution should be guaranteed,at the same
time ,the stability
needs to be improved.
