Dissolution profile of phenylephrine hydrochloride pellets
Abstract
A Simple and rapid dissolution test method for Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Pellets - 20%W/W has been developed and validated. Based on the stability and nature of the drug, dissolution experiments were conducted in different mediums in various time intervals with Basket at 100 rpm(resolution per minute). Dissolution was found to be NMT 25% over a period of one hour, 30-50% in 2nd hour, 50-70% in 4th hour, at 8th hour NTL 75%. The quantitative recoveries of the drug from semi formulations were established indicating non interference of excipients. The dissolution profile for pellets were considered satisfactory and this could be utilized for the Quality control Analysis of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride Pellets 20%W/W.
