“…The selection of appropriate stress conditions for accelerating the drug release is dependent on the nature and composition of the formulation, stability of the drug and release medium, release mechanisms, and requirements related to the sampling interval and duration of the study [ 14 ]. In this work, different combinations of four conditions of release media including: (a) temperature [ 11 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]; (b) presence of organic solvents such as alcohol, acetone, acetonitrile as co-solvents [ 12 , 15 , 28 ]; (c) presence of surfactants [ 18 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ], and (d) pH [ 12 , 15 , 16 ] were used to develop an accelerated in vitro drug release method for screening ISD systems for long-term release of LNG for contraception. The correlations between the release kinetics and mechanisms of LNG from ISD systems under real-time and accelerated conditions were established.…”
