Answer / ganesh parsewar

One of the requirements to conduct an appropriate drug
dissolution test is to use a sufficient volume of
dissolution medium, which should be able to dissolve the
expected amount of drug released from a product. This
ability of the medium to dissolve the expected amount of
drug is known as a “sink condition”.It is important to note

of the medium which would not dissolve the expected amount
of the drug completely and freely.
