These terms usually refer to tableted products but in some cases can refer to capsules of different varieties. Dissolution in chemical terms is the process of dissolving a solid substance into a solvent to yield a solution. And disintegration is defined as the breaking down (or the time it takes to break down) of a substance that has been exposed to a solution.
