Gastroretentive hydrodynamically balanced systems of ofloxacin: In vitro evaluation

TL;DR: The drug release pattern of these HBS capsules containing ofloxacin followed the Higuchi model with the anomalous transport mechanism, and the in vitro drug release was dependent on HPMC K4M, PVP K 30, and liquid paraffin content.

Theoretical analysis of the release of slowly dissolving drugs from spherical matrix systems.

TL;DR: A new analytical short-time approximation for drug release from spherical matrix systems complements the formulas existing in the literature, since it provides a superior description of the release of slowly dissolving drugs.
