In this study, the dissolution profile (DP) of a phenytoin containing tablet-Dilantin (supplied by PARKE-DAVIS, U.S.A. and used as the reference sample) was compared with those obtained from eight brands of commercial phenytoin tablets manufactured domestically. Dissolution tests were performed by using a USP XXIII aparatus-II (paddle type) at 100 rpm, and three aqueous solutions of 0.05M Tris buffer pH 9.0 (I), 1.6% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS, II) and 0.1N HCl (containing 0.4% SLS, III), were used as test media. Released percentages of the active ingredient were measured at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes, respectively. SUPAC f2 factor proposed by FDA was applied to verify the similarity between the DP of Dilantin and that of each sample. That f2 values of samples were all less than 50 no matter which media was used indicated that all samples produced different DPs from that of Dilantin. But it can be seen that most of DPs of investigated samples are similar to each other in (I) and (II) except that in (III). |
