Writing a Hypothesis?

Post by Jeremiah »

Aim: To perform an investigation to gather data comparing the rate at which caplets, tablets, enteric coated capsules and slow-release tablets dissolve.

Hypothesis: On impact water containing caplets, tablets, enteric coated caplets and dispersible tablets will dissolve at varying rates, with caplets and tablets dissolving at a quicker and more efficient rate as opposed to enteric coated capsules and slow-release tablets.

Would this be a proper way to do the Hypothesis, I am stuck on it :S

Hi,

This definitely seems like a useful pharmokinetic study, but do you have a specific question for the forum?

One thing that I will note is that drug companies have likely done extensive studies on these sorts of effects. That being said, you can still do a similar project if you can advance it a level, maybe by trying differing pH, solvents (not just water, that's not too physiologically accurate), half-life in air/moisture -- something to give the project a bit more complexity.
Hope this helps!
