The dual release system is used to achieve both quick and sustained release effect from dosage form. The dual release action achieve by using core compressed tablet, bi-layer or multi layer tablet, IR and SR granules containing matrix tablet and capsules. Some researcher formulated dual release system by incorporating disintegrants for immediate release part and different polymers for sustained...

the purpose of this study was preparation and evaluation of sustained release matrix type ocular mini-tablets of timolol maleate, as a potential formulation for the treatment of glaucoma. following the initial studies on timolol maleate powder, it was formulated into ocular mini-tablets. the polymers investigated in this study included cellulose derivatives (hec, cmc, ec) and carbopol971p. mann...

Frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. Sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. In the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...

      The purpose of this study was to develop a new monolithic matrix tablet to completely deliver glipizide in a zero order manner over a sustained period. Two approaches were examined using drug in a formulation that contain polymer like hydroxylpropyl methyl-cellulose K 100 (HPMCK) and Eudragit L 100. The granules were prepared by wet granulation method and thereby formulated as F-1, F-2. F...

Sustained release tablets of Diclofenac Sodium were fabricated using Cashew nut tree gum, HPMC and Carbopol . The tablets were evaluated for preformulation studies like angle of repose, bluk density, compressibility index and physical characteristics like hardness, weight variation, fraibilty and drug content. In-vitro release of drug was performed in PBS pH 7.2 for twelve hours. All the physic...

This study concerns the evaluation of natural gum copal and gum damar as novel sustained release matrix forming materials in tablet formulation. Along with the physicochemical properties, gum copal and gum damar were characterized for molecular weight, polydispersity index and glass transition temperature. Matrix tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique using isopropyl alcohol as a gr...
