Abstract

An appropriately designed controlled release drug delivery system can be a major advance towards solving problems concerning the targeting of a drug towards specific organ or a tissue and controlling the rate of drug delivery to the target tissue. Matrix tablet is an interesting option when developing as oral controlled release formulation. The Present study focus on oral controlled release dosage forms and types of various polymers used to formulate Matrix Tablets. The use of polymer in controlling the release of drug has become important in the formulation of pharmaceuticals.
