         The naproxen release profiles from the eight different microcap-
sules formulations are shown in Figure 3 and 4. The drug release profiles
were plotted against time and some mathematical models (Zero-order,
First-order and Higuchi Law) were applied.

Figure 3. Release profiles of A (RS PM), B (RL PO), C (RS PM/RL PO
75/25), D (RS PM/RL PO 50/50) and E (RS PM/RL PO 25/75) formulations.
