The document discusses different models that can be used to describe drug release kinetics from pharmaceutical dosage forms. It describes zero-order, first-order, Korsmeyer, Hixson-Crowell, and Higuchi models. For zero-order kinetics, the drug release is constant with respect to time. The first-order model assumes the dissolution rate is proportional to the amount of drug remaining. These models can provide a mathematical representation of in vitro drug dissolution curves and dissolution profiles.
