Laminated films composed of drug-containing reservoir layer and drug-free membrane were prepared. Zero-order drug release with lag time was achieved by laminating drug-free film onto the reservoir layer, while burst effect was observed on cast-on film. The rate controlling membrane was either attached to or cast directly into the reservoir. The release rate was independent on the reservoir composition but dependent on the composition of rate-controlling membrane. In growth inhibitory test of cephalexin from Eudragit RS film to Streptococcus Mutans, the disk even after release test for 72 hours showed more bacterial growth inhibition than that of control. Permeation of drug through rat skin was proportional to the HPC fraction in the film. We could control the release of cephalexin from the film by changing the fraction of Eudragit RS, HPC and DEP content. Consequently, Eudragit RS/HPC film was found to be very effective system for local delivery of drugs.

Water vapor sorption of corn starch in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows: The percent of water vapor sorption were 28.63% in uncoated capsule, 25.16% in hydroxy propylcellulose(HPC) coated capsule, 15.59% in 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine-methyl acrylated-methacrylic acid (MPM) coated capsule and 15.50% in polyvinyl acetal diethyl amino acetate(AEA) coated capsule. 2. Water vapor sorotion of magnesium trisilicate in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows. The percent of water vapor sorption were 13.91% in uncoated capsule, 13.30% in HPC-coated capsule, 10.87% in MPM-caated capsule and 9.9% in AEA-coated capsule. 3. Water vapor sorption of magnesium carbonate in various protective film coated capsules in 100% RH chamber for 14 days were as follows: The percent of water vapor sorption were 12.48% in uncoated capsule, 10.72% in HPC-coated capsule, 8.10% in MPM coated capsule and 7.8% in AEA-coated capsule. 4. MPM-coated capsules and AEA-canted capsules were mere effective to protect water vapor sorption than HPC-coated capsules.
