Abstract
The disintegration times were measured by the BP 2000 test using discs. For the rapidly disintegrating tablets, disintegration times were similar in all media except for whole milk. This media is used to simulate the fed stomach and disintegration times were over five times longer than in the other media (PÂ <Â 0.05). A similar effect was seen with the poorly disintegrating tablets in milk, and prolonged times were also observed in some of the other media. For these latter media, there was a good correlation between the penetration rate of the fluid into the tablet and the disintegration time. Penetration rates for milk were also slow which may be a reflection of its relatively high viscosity and low surface tension.
