Abstract

Developing oral sustain release matrix tablet with constant release rate has always been a challenges to the pharmaceutical technology so that selecting appropriate polymers have become product of choice and important ingredient for formulating sustain release formulation. An appropriately designated control release drug delivery system is the major advance towards solving problem concerning targeting of drug to the specific organ or a tissue and controlling the rate of the drug deliver to the targeted site. This research article focuses on the progress made in design on sustained release dosage form implying various types of matrises as careers for the active ingredient.

Keywords: Sustained release, control release, matrix and polymers.
