A method for determining the dissolution rate of fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules was established, and the consistency of the dissolution curves of the generic and original drugs was evaluated.The high-performance liquid chromatog.(HPLC) method was performed to detect the dissolution of generic and original preparations of fluoxetine hydrochloride tablet on the column of 227 nm, with dissolution medium of water, 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution, acetate buffer solution(pH=4.5) and phosphate buffer solution(pH=6.8), and the volume of dissolution medium was 500 m L, the rotation speed was 50 r/min. The linear range of fluoxetine hydrochloride was 9.04 ∼ 63.28 μg/mL, the relative standard deviations(RSD) of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were less than 2.0%, recoveries in 4 dissolution mediums were 100.24%(RSD=0.6%, n=9), 99.33%(RSD=0.7%, n=9), 100.11%(RSD=0.7%, n=9), 100.17%(RSD=0.6%, n=9).In the 4 dissolution mediums, the dissolution rate in 15 min of the three batches and the original were more than 80%.The HPLC method is suitable for the dissolution determination of fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules, meanwhile, the in vitro dissolution curves of generic and original preparations of fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules show similarity, so the quality consistency is good.
