Higuchi Model
The Higuchi Model describes how drugs release from a solid form, like a tablet, into the body over time. It models the release as a gradual process influenced by factors such as the drug’s properties, the tablet's structure, and how the drug dissolves in fluids. Essentially, the model helps predict how quickly and effectively a medication will work after being taken, which is crucial for developing efficient pharmaceuticals. This understanding aids in designing medications that release their active ingredients steadily, ensuring consistent therapeutic effects.
