Why Dissolution Testing Is Critical for Oral Dosage Forms

Why Dissolution Testing Is Critical for Oral Dosage Forms

Introduction

Dissolution testing is a core element of quality control in the manufacturing of oral solid dosage forms such as oral dissolvable films (ODFs), tablets, and capsules. It directly impacts bioavailability and is a regulatory requirement for product registration and market approval. For manufacturers targeting both supplements and pharmaceuticals, it is essential to use dissolution testers that meet pharmaceutical-grade GMP standards.

1. Why Is Dissolution Testing So Important?

  • Simulates in vivo drug release: Dissolution tests replicate environments like the oral cavity or gastrointestinal tract to assess release profiles.
  • Guides formulation optimization: Testing results inform adjustments in excipients and processing parameters to achieve desired performance.
  • Required by global pharmacopoeias: Regulatory bodies such as USP, EP, and ChP mandate dissolution data for market registration.

2. Common Challenges in Dissolution Testing

  • Inconsistent temperature control causing test result variability
  • Manual sampling errors leading to poor reproducibility
  • Lack of automated data recording impacting traceability

3. HUANGHAI’s Dissolution Testing Solution
