ABSTRACT
This entry provides an overview of the current techniques commonly employed for tablet testing. It discusses testing for confirmation of the nature of the active ingredient and the product, assessing pharmaceutical availability of the active moiety both in vitro and in vivo, and the establishment of stability profiles for the provision of appropriate shelf life. It also examines the current thinking for the choice of in vitro and in vivo methods for drug release assessment and the limitations of the currently employed approaches of in vitro testing.
