force. The barrier breaks and the disintegration of the third layer containing the second dose of<br />

ibuprofen occurs.<br />

The disintegrating force developed by the two doses of the drug on contact with aqueous fluids<br />

is the energy source for the delivery of active substance; it has been obtained using<br />

superdisintegrants (e.g. Polyplasdone XL ® , Primojel ® ).<br />

On in vitro testing when the pulsed release system is immersed in the dissolution medium, the<br />

following can be observed:<br />

(a) rapid disintegration of the uncoated part of the system (
