Ensuring pharmaceutical quality and compliance with ARGUS/Dissolution

Written by Argus Team

In the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, quality control is paramount. Patients rely on medications to be safe, effective, and consistent from batch to batch. That is why dissolution testing is such a critical process - it determines the release rate of a drug's active ingredients into the body.
Traditionally, dissolution testing has been a time-consuming and error-prone process involving manual data entry and spreadsheet calculations. But innovative software solutions like ARGUS/Dissolution are revolutionizing quality control by automating and streamlining dissolution testing.

The Importance of Dissolution Testing

Why is dissolution testing so vital? When you swallow a pill or capsule, the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) must dissolve at the right rate to be released into your bloodstream in a controlled way. If dissolution is too slow, the medication will not achieve its therapeutic effects. If it is too fast, you could potentially experience toxicity from an excessive dose. Dissolution testing precisely measures the rate at which APIs go into solution from solid oral dosage forms like tablets and capsules.

This data is critical for:

  • Ensuring consistent bioavailability and efficacy between batches
  • Detecting quality issues before products reach the market
  • Comparing the performance of new formulations to existing drugs
  • Demonstrating bioequivalence for generic drug approvals

By automating and standardizing this complex process, ARGUS/Dissolution software eliminates the risk of human error to deliver accurate, reproducible, and fully traceable dissolution data every time.
