Hydrophilic Matrices for Oral Control Drug Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral controlled drug delivery has gathered tremendous attention over the years due to its many advantages over conventional dosage forms. Polymer-based matrices have become an integral part of the pharmaceutical industry. Hydrophilic matrices are capable of controlling the release of drug over an extended period of time. Hydrophilic polymers, especially the hydrophilic derivatives of cellulose ethers, are frequently used for these applications. Therefore, the objective of this review is to discuss the scientific and physicochemical aspects of these polymeric systems that can affect the drug release from such formulations.

Design and Evaluation of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Matrix Tablets for Oral Controlled Release: A Historical Perspective
Hydrophilic matrix tablets (matrices) for oral use are designed to hydrate on swallowing, and form a ‘gel’ layer of hydrated polymer at the tablet surface to control the rate of drug release during passage of the matrix through the gastrointestinal tract. During gastrointestinal transit, the matrices are reduced in size through surface erosion and dissolution. This reduces the probability of ex...

متن کاملSwelling agents and devices in oral drug delivery
Swelling agents are hydrophilic crosslinked polymers, which swell from 10 to 1,000 times their own weight when placed in an aqueous medium. Depending on their swelling properties, these materials have been exploited in developing three different classes of materials in pharmaceutical industries, i.e. swellable matrices, superdisintegrants and swelling devices. Since their development, these pha...
