Sm. Lu, DIMENSIONLESS PRESENTATION FOR DRUG-RELEASE FROM A COATED PURE-DRUG BEAD .1. ANALYSIS, International journal of pharmaceutics, 112(2), 1994, pp. 105-116
A set of dimensionless equations are presented to describe the release
of a drug from a coated pure drug bead in a well stirred elution liqu
id. Dimensionless presentations for cumulative release and release rat
e over very wide ranges of dimensionless parameters are discussed. The
work is presented in two parts, part 1 describing the analysis and pa
rt 2 the experiment.
