Challenges in Dissolution Testing

Dissolution testing of dosage forms is an activity in continuous development, both for improving equipment and its performance qualification and for selecting the best test conditions. The U. S. Pharmacopeia (USP) held a workshop coordinated by some USP expert panels at its headquarters in Rockville, MD, on June 11 and 12, 2012, to present and discuss the ongoing projects related to dissolution. This paper presents a summary of the discussions held at this meeting.
