The drug release rate is regulated by the matrix. HPMC and other release retardants can help with sustained release, so they are used as a key excipient in the formulation.The method entails compressing a mixture of medication, retardant material, and additives directly to shape a tablet with the drug embedded in a retardant matrix core; instead, granulation may be done prior to compression. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, mineral, and biodegradable matrices may be used.To assess the drug release rate, in-vitro dissolution tests may be used. The primary goal of continuous release types is to improve drug therapy, which is determined by the relationship between the advantages and disadvantages of using one.</p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Development}, author={Mehta, Mandev and S Keerthy, H. and Prasad Yadav, Rajkumar}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={112–117} }
