Fig. 8.5a shows <strong>the</strong> results with both coated anduncoated tablet.Fig. 8.5a: Semi logarithmic plot <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unrele<strong>as</strong>ed fraction <strong>of</strong> HCS <strong>as</strong> a function <strong>of</strong> timeaccording to a first order kinetics model. Each result shows <strong>the</strong> mean±S.D. (n = 3).Analyses were per<strong>for</strong>med in <strong>the</strong> ranges in which linearity w<strong>as</strong> maintained with bothcoated and uncoated tablets. The HCS rele<strong>as</strong>e from both tablets w<strong>as</strong> affected slightly bycoating. In uncoated tablet, satisfactory linearity w<strong>as</strong> observed throughout <strong>the</strong> test (R 2 =0.9709 - 0.9922) <strong>as</strong> shown in table 8.3 <strong>for</strong> both polymers, and <strong>the</strong> rele<strong>as</strong>e pattern w<strong>as</strong>apparently linear rele<strong>as</strong>e. In <strong>the</strong> coated tablets, satisfactory linearity w<strong>as</strong> not observed up totwo hours <strong>of</strong> dissolution study <strong>as</strong> no HCS w<strong>as</strong> rele<strong>as</strong>ed due to <strong>the</strong> pH dependant polymercoating. After two hours, with <strong>the</strong> incre<strong>as</strong>e pH, HCS started rele<strong>as</strong>ing and <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e <strong>as</strong>atisfactory linearity between <strong>the</strong> logarithm <strong>of</strong> drug residual rate and time w<strong>as</strong> observedthroughout <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> test (R 2 = 0.9153 - 0.9295).163 | P a g e
