A SYSTEMIC AND COMPLETE REVIEW ON DISSOLUTION TEST APPARATUS

Dissolution is an official test employed by pharmacopeia’s for evaluating drug release of solid and semisolid dosage forms. The most applications of the dissolution testing include biopharmaceutical characterization of the drug product, as a tool to make sure consistent product quality and to predict in vivo drug bioavailability. Dissolution testing was developed initially for solid orals, soon its use is widened to a range of novel dosage forms. Because of complexities within the drug delivery of novel dosage forms there a necessity in developing modified dissolution testing methods so as to characterize the invitro release of those dosage forms. The article characterizes the current updates in dissolution testing approaches for predictable and novel pharmaceutical dosage forms and offers an insight to possible substitutions in drug dissolution testing design.
