the purpose of this review article is to characterize all of the parameters regarding the types, polymers used, and release kinetics of matrix tablets. matrix system was the earliest oral extended release platform for medicinal use. matrix tablets are most commonly used methods to modulate the release profile of drugs. they are much desirable and preferred for such therapy because they offer be...

objective(s): the aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. materials and methods:matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and ph-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty hpmc capsule. to asses...

extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (dtz) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with kollidon sr. matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (cw), bees wax (bw), cetyl alcohol (ca) and glyceryl monostearate (gms). dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations usp xxii type 1 apparatus. the in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

The objective of the study is to evaluate Olibanum resin, a natural resin polymer as matrix polymer for controlled release tablets and to design matrix tablets of diclofenac for controlled release. Matrix tablets of diclofenac were formulated employing Olibanum resin in different proportions of drug and polymer and the tablets were evaluated for drug release kinetics and mechanism. Two diluents...

the influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. for this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of carbopol 934p, 971p, 974p, pemulen and eudragit rlpo as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. pvp, avicel or ...

in this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol hcl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol hcl along with various amounts of carbopols 934 (c934), 971 (c971), 974 (c974) and pemulen (pem) were prepared using the wet gr...

Objective(s): The aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and Methods:Matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and pH-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty HPMC capsule. To asses...

sustained release oral delivery systems are designed to achieve therapeutically effective concentrations of drug in the systemic circulation over an extended period of time. the purpose of the present investigation was to design and evaluate sustained release matrix tablets of nifedipine, a poorly water soluble drug, employing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ( hpmc) and ethyl cellulose ( ec) as ...

The aim of this investigation was to develop and optimize bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets for sustained release application by response surface methodology based on 2(3) factorial design. The effects of the amounts of calcium alginate, HPMC K4M, and Carbopol 943 in bisoprolol fumarate matrix tablets on the properties of bisoprolol fumarate sustained release matrix tablets like drug release a...

the objective of the present study was to design an oral controlled drug delivery system for sparingly soluble diclofenac sodium (dcl) using guar gum as triple-layer matrix tablets. matrix tablet granules containing 30% (d1), 40% (d2) or 50% (d3) of guar gum were prepared by the conventional wet granulation technique. matrix tablets of diclofenac sodium were prepared by compressing three layers...
