To obtain basic and clear release properties, wax matrix tablets were prepared from a physical mixture of drug and wax powder at a fixed mixing ratio. Properties of release from the single flat-faced surface, curved side surface, and/or whole surface of the wax matrix tablet were examined. Then tortuosity and the applicability of Higuchi's square-root time law equation were examined. The Higuchi equation well analyzed the release processes of different release manners. However, the region fitted to the Higuchi equation differed with the release manner. Tortuosity obtained with release from the single flat-faced surface and curved side surface was comparable with that obtained with the release from a reservoir device tablet, whereas tortuosity obtained with release from the whole surface was larger. As the wax matrix tablets were prepared at a fixed mixing ratio, their internal structures should be similar. Therefore changes in the matrix volume or volume fraction with release were examined, and an extra volume where dissolved drug stray becomes large with release time in the case of release from the whole surface. These factors should be taken into account for evaluation of applicability and release properties. Furthermore, the entire release process should be analyzed using a combination of the square-root time law and other suitable equations in accordance with release manner or condition.
