title: Effect of dissolution fluid and presence of hog intestinal barrier on the dissolution of theophylline from bioadhesive granules.
abstract: The effect of dissolution fluid and the presence of a natural barrier (hog intestine) on the release of theophylline from some bioadhesive granules is presented. A higher quantity of the drug was released in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) than O. IN HCl. When a hog intestine was used as the diffusion barrier, the availability of the drug through the barrier into the sink solution was low, ranging from 20-35%.
