Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was studied as a sequestrant of amitriptyline from its aqueous solution. Microcrystalline cellulose could adsorb 74% amitriptyline from pH 7.4 buffer solution in 2 h at room temperature. It was observed that the amount of amitriptyline as well as the equilibration ti...
