The influence of some suspending agents on the release of a soluble medicament from solution.

A method for comparing the influence of suspending media on the dialysis of a soluble compound is described. Different suspending agents affected the rate at which the iodide ion dialyzes from solution, indicating that the nature of the agent is a variable which influences the release of the compound. It is demonstrated that the use of selected suspending agents makes possible the modification of release rates of certain soluble drugs from solution.
