title: [Studies on dissolution rate in vitro of silymarin dropping pill].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To test the dissolution rate of silymarin dropping pill as well as to be compared with other three commercial products of the silymarin.
  
  
  METHODS
  By UV spectrophotometry, we studied the dissolution conditions of silymarin dropping pill and compared its dissolution rate with Yiganling tablets (film-coating, sugar-coating) and Legalon capsule which are available in the market.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The dissolution parameters T50 and Td of silymarin dropping pill, Yiganling tablet (film-coating), Yiganling tablet (sugar-coating) and Legalon capsule are 6.78, 9.85 min, 51.01, 73.78 min, 74.35, 86.97 min and 53.10, 72.65 min.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The dissolution rate of silymarin dropping pill is superior to that of two kinds of Yiganling tablets and Legalon capsule.
