Abstract

In vitro release studies of theophylline from a series of swollen poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate), p (HEMA-GMA), hydrogels in water and in 0.05 N sulphuric acid are reported. Release in water follows the conventional Higuchi relationship. In acidic medium, the release index is found to vary between 0.7 and 0.9. The results are attributed to the structural changes taking place in the matrix during the course of release in acidic medium.
