The release properties of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PPA) from ethylcellulose (EC) matrix granules prepared by an extrusion granulation method were examined. The release process could be divided into two parts; the first and second stages were analyzed by applying square-root time law and cube-root law equations, respectively. The validity of the treatments was confirmed by the fitness of a simulation curve with the measured curve. In the first stage, PPA was released from the gel layer of swollen EC in the matrix granules. In the second stage, the drug existing below the gel layer dissolved and was released through the gel layer. The effect of the binder solution on the release from EC matrix granules was also examined. The binder solutions were prepared from various EC and ethanol (EtOH) concentrations. The media changed from a good solvent to a poor solvent with decreasing EtOH concentration. The matrix structure changed from loose to compact with increasing EC concentration. The preferable EtOH concentration region was observed when the release process was easily predictable. The time and release ratio at the connection point of the simulation curves were also examined to determine the validity of the analysis.
