MATRIX FORMULATIONS [CH. 8 95<br />
Table 3—In vitro release-permeation of propranolol hydrochloride from Methocel ® matrix formulation in the presence<br />
of the additive ingredients using cellulose membrane<br />
Average of three determinations.<br />
Table 4—<strong>Drug</strong> release from Methocel® matrix formulation containing varied concentrations of polymer using the<br />

Permeation studies using hairless mouse skin<br />
The Methocel ® matrix, formulation A, was further investigated using the hairless mouse skin as<br />
the diffusion barrier. Here the drug release was observed to be reduced significantly to 1.3mg/<br />
(24h) compared with 11.75 mg/(24h) through the cellulose membrane. The formulation was<br />
further modified with the inclusion of
