A repeated-dose model of percutaneous drug absorption

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for percutaneous absorption with regular applications of the drug, which is solved using a finite-difference method which is second-order accurate in space and time.

Mechanism of Drug Release from an Acrylic Polymer‐Wax Matrix Tablet

TL;DR: An acrylic polymer-wax matrix system was evaluated for oral sustained-release tablets of diphenhydramine HCl by incorporating Eudragit L in a carnauba wax matrix, and the drug release was described by a combination diffusion/erosion mechanism.

Improving the release characteristics of water-soluble drugs from hydrophilic sustained release matrices by in situ gas generation

TL;DR: In this article, a zero-order potassium chloride release from a number of compressed hydrophilic polymer tablets is investigated with a view to designing a simple zero order release system based on incorporation of low levels of effervescent mixtures within the table matrix.

Thermosensitivity and release from poly N-isopropylacrylamide-polylactide copolymers.

TL;DR: The release profiles of the model drug indomethacin (IDM), from these thermoresponsive-co-biodegradable polymers, were found to be dependant on copolymer composition, drug loading and temperature, more rapid release occurring below the LCST.
