Abstract:
This paper deals with the evaluation of osmotic pump of verapamil hydrochloridetablet(C) by measuring
in vitro/in vivo test. The results showed that the dissolution behaviors were of zero-order kinetic and release constant
in vitro(Kr) of C was 9.9450. The plasma levels of Ver·HCl in eight volunteers following single and multiple oral doses of these dosage forms were determined using HPLC method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were fitted by nonlinear least square method with a computer on the basis of two-compartment model. The pharmacokinetic parameters of C
max, T
max, t
1/2, K
A, K
10 and K
21 were calculated. The bioavailability of tablet C relative to B and A was 101.7%, 96. 16% respectively. A significant correlation was found between
in vitro dissolution and
in vivo absorption.
