The aim of this study was to further evaluate and optimize the Transwell system for assessing the dissolution behavior of orally inhaled drug products (OIDPs), using fluticasone propionate as a model drug. Sample preparation involved the collection of a relevant inhalable dose fraction through an anatomical mouth/throat model, resulting in a more uniform presentation of drug particles during the subsequent dissolution test. The method differed from previously published procedures by (1) using a 0.
