title: Preparation and release characteristics of potassium chloride microcapsules.
abstract: The release characteristics of potassium chloride was studied when it was coated with a selection of polymers; from the results obtained, a suitable batch was microencapsulated using a gelatin-gum arabic coacervate system. The microencapsulated product offers better controlled release for this drug when compared to standard table and powder forms.
