Misc Yet another idea for gelling pills: gel, dry, rinse

New idea for freeing drugs from gelled pills: gel your pills up, then dry them out and rinse the freed drug off the surface.

My reasoning is as follows: The anti-release mechanism works by trapping the soluble drug in a gel matrix. Drying would cause the solution in the gel to come to the surface and the water to evaporate off, leaving anything dissolved on the surface.

You may have to repeat this several times to get everything out, and rinse fast before the drug can be re-absorbed into the gel.

Well, there's my crazy idea. If you try it, please tell us if it worked.
 
I do not have any room to say your totally wrong or anything of the nature, as i have no idea what exactly makes "gel pills" un-gel either. In fact, I don't even really know what exactly a gel pill is. The only thing i would say is that there are a whole bunch of people who do know what they are and precisely how they work, and my guess is if they haven't pumped out a solid process to do it then chances are this is a no go.
 
^ This. Only way to test this is to try it out and testify, and people aren't necessarily going to be convinced...
 
I was referring to the OP-like pills that turn to gel when they hit water.

For a bit more information on the gelling system, see patent # 4,070,494. This is the patent which the INTAC patent references for the gelling mechanism.
 
I just wish the pharmacutical company was required to post the average amount of the analgesic portion of these (soft pebbles) that make it all the way to your colon without dissolving first. I would gamble to say the percentage is high...
 
Youre making a giant assumption that everything else but the freed drug will be gone and only the drug will be left on the surface.

That is to say, what guarantees, when you dry the drug, that all the crap that causes it to gel up will not still be present, and simply gel up again?
 
I should have clarified that. Anything water-soluble should end up on the surface. The gelling crap which isn't in solution should stay where it is.
